5 frames… Of one gas station on 5 different film stocks, using 5 different cameras – By Fayed
I know, I know… We’re all fed up with all of these gas station photos all over Instagram but trust me, none of these photos were shot on CineStill 800T film, yet the results were very interesting! It all started when I went on a different route to work other than my usual, and doesn’t…

5 Frames… From an old, familiar Pentax K1000 on Kodak T-MAX 400 (35mm Format / EI 400 + SMC Pentax-M 28mm f/2.8)
I brought my Pentax K1000 (a combined birthday and Christmas gift in 1988) back into service in 2021, after a decades-long hiatus from it, and after 15 or so years of not shooting film at all. I was surprised to find myself every bit as happy to be shooting film as I had been when…

5 Frames… Back in San Diego after 5 years (Kodak Color Gold 400 / Pentax K1000 + SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/2)
I made these photos while working over the course of a few days in San Diego, my old city. I went on a quick solo visit there this past June, my first trip away from home in over 15 months and the first time I’d been back in 5 years. In between clients, I would…

My first roll… Of 35mm film: Fuji Superia X-TRA 400 in a Pentax K1000
I shot my first roll of35mm film using a Pentax K1000 I bought on the same day I returned a faulty Yashica Mat 124-G — my first camera ever — but that’s a story for another article about my first 120 film roll. I’m glad I made that decision! The Pentax K1000 taught me a…

5 Frames… Of Kodak Ektar 100 from a year around Georgia on Kodak Ektar 100 (35mm Format / EI 100 / Pentax K1000)
Late last year, my wife and I wanted to combine my love of photography with our shared love of travel, exploring, and just getting into adventures together. We decided to work on a personal photo project. For the project, we are attempting to visit every county in the state of Georgia in the 2021 Calendar…

Foma Retropan 320 Soft: A valuable way of seeing
I recently wrote an article for 35mmc reacting to my inability to obtain one of my favorite films, Foma’s Retropan 320 Soft in 35mm format .In it, I touched briefly on why I shoot film and how Retropan has helped me understand that inclination more clearly. It has inspired me to consider this issue in greater…

Camera review: The unlovely (but very good) Pentax MZ-S
First an admission, I am an accidental Pentaxian. Like thousands of others, quite by chance I first learned to shoot film on a Pentax K1000. Since then many other Pentaxes have passed through my life: Spotmatic II, KM, MX, LX, 645n, both the 67 and 67ii and the MZ-S of course (twice!). The attraction is…

5 Frames… From 1979 on original ILFORD FP4 (35mm format / EI 125 / Pentax K1000)
It’s early summer 1979. In the United States, Jimmy Carter was president and Three Mile Island had just exploded. In the UK Margaret Thatcher had just become Prime Minister. Disco was still big, and at the cinema, you could be shocked at the Alien hurling itself from John Hurt’s abdomen. Also in the UK, I’d…
