Category: My First Roll…

Everyone had a first roll of film, sheet or even plate. If you’re looking for people’s experiences their first time out, you’ve found it.

My first roll… Of 35mm film: Kyiv on Fujifilm Superia X-TRA 400 in a Zenit E

Avatar - Garrison Wayby Garrison WayMay 14, 2020July 31, 2021

Not too long ago EM posted an article about his first roll of film. I was going through my old scans at the time and found mine. This coincidence inspired me to share that roll with you, albeit with a few shots removed (at the subjects request). The majority, however, remain in all their uncomposed […]

My First Roll... Of 35mm film (aged five years old), Kodak Plus-X Pan and an Agfa ISO-RAPID 1 - by David Hume

My First Roll… Of 35mm film (aged five years old), Kodak Plus-X Pan and an Agfa ISO-RAPID 1

by David HumeMay 8, 2020July 31, 2021

The details are hazy, but the best I can figure is that my grandfather gave me this camera in 1967 for my fifth birthday. I still have it. It’s an Agfa ISO-RAPID 1. Very basic, and a bit like a Kodak Instamatic, only, can I say… worse? It too shot square frames on AGFA Rapid […]

My first roll… Of 120 film – Kodak T-MAX 400 and Rolleicord III K3B

Avatar - Juan Suarezby Juan SuarezApril 29, 2020July 31, 2021

I came back to film in early 2019. The camera I bought was a Rolleicord III. It was the same model as the first serious camera I owned back in the late 1990s. I got that first Rolleicord from my grandmother, who had bought it when she was studying in Switzerland in the 1950s, but who by […]

My first roll… Of 35mm film: Kodak ProFoto 400 BW and Pentax Spotmatic F

by Victor BezrukovApril 23, 2020July 31, 2021

Well, I just read this “My First Roll…” post by EM and immediately started scratching my head. How did I start in analog photography and photography on the whole? It was not so long ago (relatively, Einstein would say) but I’d absolutely forgotten exactly how I had begun and it took some time to repair […]

My first roll… Of 35mm film – Kodak Tri-X 400

Avatar - Gregory W Brownby Gregory W. BrownApril 15, 2020July 31, 2021

I’m not 100% sure that this is my very first roll, but based on the crap technique and some of the subjects, I’m pretty certain that if it’s not the first roll, it’s not far off. I took a couple of photography classes in high-school and saved most of the negatives and a few of […]

My first roll… Of 35mm film – Fuji Superia X-TRA 400

Avatar - EMby EMApril 4, 2020July 4, 2021

Regular readers might remember a conversation between Hamish Gill and me about the false narrative that is the “constant stream of success” on social media. You know what I’m talking about: perfect photos of perfect scenes with perfect cameras. It doesn’t exist outside of perfectly curated personas but is persuasive enough that it frustrates the […]
