New Fugufilm 400 slide film: More test roll shots + Bellamy Hunt Q&A

The new Lomography DigitaLIZA + / Max film scanning kits for 35mm and 120 film
I’ve been a long-time user of Lomography’s DigitaLIZA 35mm and 120 film masks. They work great on my Epson Perfection v750 and keep film generally flatter than Epson’s normal film masks — even when scanning 35mm film shot on a 6×12 format camera or 6×17 format. In terms of value for money and performance, they’re […]
