5 Frames… With Fujifilm Fujicolor Pro 400H (EI 400 / 120 format / Zeiss Super Ikonta 532/16)
When I started my summer job, I knew that I would have to take any opportunity to take photos I could. But — just for myself — I also took those weeks to learn how to use my newest camera. I took that camera — a Zeiss Super Ikonta 532/16 with its Carl Zeiss Jena…

Camera review: 14 years with the “invisible” Nikon FM3a
In January 2006, after 5 or so years of film photography with a combination of cheaper cameras (e.g., a Minolta SRT-101, a Fed-3 and an old Mamiya 35mm), I bought a like-new Nikon FM3A for $429 USD on eBay. Since then it has shot hundreds (if not thousands) of rolls of film, and has accompanied…

5 Frames… With Fujifilm NEOPAN 100 ACROS (EI 100 / 120 format / Argus Argoflex Seventy-Five)
I bought this Argus Argoflex Seventy-Five for $25 from a classified ad. I wanted to jump to medium format but didn’t want to invest too much before I had had a little experience working with larger negatives. It’s an odd little camera — almost a toy, really. The limitations of this camera are both exasperating…

5 Frames… With Film Washi S (EI 50 / 120 Format / Ondu 6X6 Pinhole)
A few months ago, from intrigue, I ordered a bevvy of different types of Washi film. There are two types at the moment. One type is made from delicate Japanese paper. The other type is a hand-rolled sound recording film. I have intentions on writing an article for EMULSIVE from my experience with the paper-based…

Canada Post loses $1,500 of Super 8 film documenting lost Tsuut’ina First Nation artefacts
Imagine sending your film off for development, receiving a tracking code for its return leg and then being handed an empty envelope when it finally arrived. Well, empty save for the sales receipt. Now imagine that instead of a roll or two of 35mm or 120 film, you were waiting for 12 reels of Super…

On October 24th 2019 ILFORD announced their ORTHO PLUS film was to be released in both 35mm and 120 formats (it was previously only available in sheets as a copy film). As the marketing manager for ILFORD Photo, one of the perks of my job is that I was able to get my hands on…

Comparing Fujifilm NEOPAN 100 ACROS II to original ACROS. What’s the difference?
Understandably, I was very excited to hear the news of Fujifilm bringing back NEOPAN 100 ACROS in the form of ACROS II earlier this year. So, when a second announcement came with details of a November 22nd Japanese release date, I started making calls to see if I could buy some. I got lucky and…

5 Frames… With Kodak Tri-X 400 (EI 400 / 120 format / Fujifilm GW690II Professional)
This Story begins back in the year 2000. I had been an in-house industrial photographer working for an engineering and manufacturing firm for the previous 20 years. It had been about four years since the company I worked for relocated, shut down my darkroom, and outsourced all film processing. Without access to a darkroom, I…
