I’ve been shooting film most of my life, I’d say about 75% of my photos reside on Kodak Ektachrome slide film. When the digital age took over I got away from shooting film for a while.

“That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
Making a living as a photographer requires me to have professional digital equipment. Still, everyone around me knows about my passion for film.

5 Frames… With Fuji Provia 100F RDP III (35mm / EI 100 / Minolta X-700)
In 2018, E-6 Processing is expensive. I shot this roll back in April and after shooting it, it sat in my freezer for 2 months, because I can’t afford to get too many rolls of E-6 processed at once.

5 Frames… With Polaroid Originals SX-70 B&W (EI 160 / SX-70 format / Mint SLR 670m)
I started this project a couple of months ago to document my wife’s passion for flowers and plants. Our small flat is just full of them. They are of different shapes and sizes.

5 Frames… With Kodak T-MAX 100 (EI 25 / 35mm format / Yashica Samurai X3.0) – Dan Marinelli
This camera came out of left field to me. I have run the #halfframeclub for almost 2 years, but this camera never fit my ideal of what a half frame cameras should be.

5 Frames… With Kodak Tri-X 400 (35mm / EI 800 / Nikon FM2)
We are brothers. Twins actually! Boy and Girl. We have a passion for analog photography and we love to experience film.
At the end of last year we had a chance to go one week to Madrid.

5 Frames… With Svema MZ3 (EI 3 / 35mm format / Pentax MX)
After listening to far too much of the FPP, I decided that bulk loading film is the way to go. So, I bought some single rolls to experiment with.

5 Frames… With Kodak Ektar 100 (EI 100 / 120 format / Hasselblad 503CX)
After a more than 20 year break from taking anything much more than ‘happy snaps’ photography has started to reemerge as a very important part of my life.
I swore I’d never shoot analogue again – digital is so much

5 Frames… With Kodak Verichrome Pan 100 (EI 100 / 4×5 format / CAMERADACTYL 4×5)
I wrote a whole long blah-blah about this camera I made here.

5 Frames… With Kodak Portra (EI 400 / 4×5 format / Cameradactyl 4×5)
In my normal photography I shoot color but when testing 4 x 5 cameras I prefer black and white because the colors can get in the way of what I’m looking for.
While I love my Schneider Xenar 135mm f/4.7

5 Frames… With Fuji NEOPAN ACROS 100 (EI 100 / 35mm format / Olympus OM-1n)
This was the first roll of Acros I ever shot. It came with the bikkuri case I ordered from Japan Camera Hunter. In honor of its discontinuation, I thought I should finally give it a shot.

5 Frames… With ILFORD DELTA 100 Professional (EI 80 / 35mm format / Leica MP)
In the beginning, there was film. My favorite emulsions for the decades starting in 1976, were slow speed Kodachrome (25 and 64) and Tri-X shot on a Canon F-1n.

5 Frames… With Cinestill BwXX (EI 250 / 35mm format / Pentax Spotmatic SP II)
When Cinestill reintroduced their BwXX 250 film stock, I was intrigued and bought a roll immediately. Like their other film stocks, BwXX 250 is movie film re-engineered for still cameras.

5 Frames… With CineStill Tungsten 800 (EI 800 / 35mm format /Minolta X-700)
The tungsten aesthetic really is my thing. I love seeing it used for night outdoors shots; I’m convinced that even the most mundane things, shot at night, on tungsten film, automatically become statement shots…

5 Frames… With ILFORD FP4 PLUS (EI 125 / 35mm format / Minolta X-300)
I’ve always wanted to try black & white film. So these shots come from my very first B&W film. I had actually no idea about which film should I use.

5 Frames… With Bergger BRF 400 Plus (EI 400 / 35mm format / Olympus Trip 35)
Last summer I returned to Scotland for the second time in my life. I still keep the negatives of my first time (1985), some irregular Kodak Tri-X rolls but with some great images.

5 Frames… With ILFORD HP5 PLUS (EI 1600 / 35mm format / Leica M4)
I live in North-East Lincolnshire in the UK and was raised in the coastal town of Cleethorpes, a once glorious Victorian seaside resort whose star has now largely faded.

5 Frames… With Kodak EKTACHROME Infrared EIR (EI 200 / 35mm format / Olympus OM-1n)
I’ve have had a roll of Kodak EKTACHROME Infrared EIR in my fridge for a year or so now. For those of you that don’t know this is a colour Infrared slide film (E6 processing, #SayNoToXPRO).

The images in this series are abstracted Houston landscapes, shot on 35mm film.

5 Frames… With Kodak Ektar 100 (EI 100 / 120 format / Mamiya 7)
It is said that landscapes should be shot with, at the very least, a medium-film camera.
