An in-depth guide to: The Leica M6 TTL July 5, 2020 Posted in: Featured, Film camera reviews, Leica film camera reviews, Reviews - Made for only four years between 1998 and 2002, the Leica M6 TTL was the successor the 1984-98 Leica M6 and brought with it a couple of new party tricks: an ergonomically designed shutter speed dial and TTL flash metering. That huge shutter dial might not seem like a big deal today, in fact, you […]
Yashica-B review: the lovable “rare” TLR camera July 6, 2020 Posted in: Articles, Film camera reviews, Reviews, Yashica film camera reviews - I’ve been fascinated with Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) cameras ever since I can remember, and even before I knew what a TLR was — I just knew them as these beautiful, quirky little photograph-taking boxes that appeared in the hands of famous and not-so-famous people dressed in 1950s and 60s attire. They had appeal, they […]
EMULSIVE Interview #220: I am Frank Thorp V and this is why I shoot film July 8, 2020 Posted in: Featured, Film Photographer Interviews, Interviews - Today’s interviewee is a busy man, he’s a producer and off-air reporter covering the US Congress for NBC News, past Chairman of the Radio & Television Correspondents Association on Capitol Hill, oh and a film photographer who also happens to shoot some of our favourite film stocks (and cameras) while doing the day job. Looking […]
Film Notes: Current high-speed films, ILFORD Delta 3200 Professional and Kodak T-MAX P3200 July 11, 2020 Posted in: Articles, Film Notes, Film stock reviews, ILFORD Film Stock Reviews, Kodak Film Stock Reviews, Reviews - I’ve often described how I think that people looking for a different “look” from film would be better suited exposing and developing in a different way before they’d see any benefit from switching emulsions. Unless someone is searching for a specific “effect” in terms of grain structure, or halation, then most films will produce fairly […]
In Conversation With… Sofi Mdvinishvili: Tiblisi’s analogue photography scene (NSFW) July 12, 2020 Posted in: In Conversation With..., Interviews - During 2018 I lived for some months in Tbilisi, capital of Georgia (the Caucasus region country, not the US state). As an analog photographer, the first thing I did before going there was to tool for local analog photographers and labs. I found about work and a place to develop my films at around the […]
5 Frames… Of black and white Fuji 8573/500T in Rodinal with a Leica M4-2 July 15, 2020 Posted in: 5 Frames..., Articles - I had a 400ft reel of expired 8572 kicking around the boat, and decided to load 100ft into cassettes to start shooting. I’ve heard horrendous stories of expired Fuji cine films just not holding up like their Kodak Vision counterparts… But, I got a great deal on this reel and figured it was worth testing […]

The camera, first released in 2004 is the last of Nikon’s F range of flagship cameras, which started back in April 1959 with the imaginatively named Nikon F – affectionately called the “Big F” by […]
5 Frames… Of 35mm film in a Fuji GSW690II: Fun with my TEXPan (EI 100 / 35mm format / Kodak Ektachrome E100) July 18, 2020 Posted in: 5 Frames..., Articles - It all started last year when I began my dive into film photography: all those 35mm and 120 film cameras were so exciting… And then I stumbled on one camera that was special, not only in my beginner’s opinion, but for a lot of photography people out there – The Hasselblad Xpan. Quick forum research […]
Zenza Bronica ETRS: Not exactly the poor man’s Hasselblad July 19, 2020 Posted in: Bronica film camera reviews, Film camera reviews, Reviews - The Bronica has been described as the poor man’s Hasselblad. That is just wrong, as I hope to demonstrate through this article. When I began my journey back to film photography, I looked at Rolleiflex cameras first, but finally settled on the Hasselblad 500C/M — of which I have two now. I recently decided to […]
