5 Frames… At Westonbirt Arboretum on ILFORD Delta 100 Professional Rolleicord Va + Xenar 75mm f/3.5
Rolleicord Va is a medium format (6×6) camera using 120 size films, with which you will get 12 frames per roll. It is a Twin-Lens Reflex (TLR) camera and has a Xenar 75mm f/3.5 as the taking lens and a 75mm f/3.2 as the viewing lens. My Rolleicord Va is a version 2, according to…

5 Frames… Of cold-weather testing airships by the arctic circle on Kodak Portra 160 (35mm Format / EI 160 / Contax G1 + Planar 45mm f/2) – by Igor Immfun
At the time I shot these frames, I had owned the Contax G1 for a little less than two months. It was my first film camera and I fell in love with her immediately. You just want to hold it in your hands and enjoy the genius of the people who created it. I won’t…

5 Frames… Of Charleston on Kodak EKTACHROME Infrared film (35mm format / EI 400 / Canon EOS 3 + Canon 17-40 f/4) – by Daniel Kompass
I’ve been shooting film for over 45 years having shot my first roll of infrared film back in the 80’s. This type of film and others are getting impossible to find these days, recently saw a roll of Infrared for sale for $300 on eBay. I have been saving a couple rolls in my fridge…

5 Frames… Around Blois on LomoChrome Purple XR 100-400 (35mm format / EI 200 / Yashica FX – 3 + Yashica Lens ML 50mm f/2) – by Steven Munday
To Describe the Town of Blois, I would begin with the picturesque gardens, the venerable buildings woven together with cobbled streets. Cemented in the history of France, Blois is a stunning destination for anyone with a love for culture, situated in the centre de Loire region and 2 hours south of Paris. Now, I had…

5 Frames… Over 3 years on Kodak Portra 400, starting in New Orleans and finishing at Venice Beach (35mm format / EI 400 / Pentax Spotmatic + Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4)
Film is time travel. By the time I got this roll of Kodak Portra 400 developed and scanned, it had been sitting in my Pentax Spotmatic for three years, waiting to be developed. I shot the first half of the roll while it was still fresh, according to the date on the box, and the…

6 Frames… Of macro-ish photos on ADOX COLOR MISSION 200 and a Nikkor OC 35mm + macro tube (EI 200 / 35mm Format / Nikon F)
I’m happy to have been able to shoot a roll of ADOX’s COLOR MISSION 200! I know rolls of this are hard to come by, and I really hope they release more of it soon. From what I understand this is a completely new color film that was resurrected by ADOX from a past R&D project.…

5 Frames… Of visible and present grain on ILFORD HP5 PLUS + FX-37 (35mm format / EI 400 Nikon F2 + DE-1 + Nikon Nikkor 35mm f/2.8 AI) – by Emilio Romero
To begin with, it is always difficult to refer to a particular combination of camera, developer, and film that one is not used to using regularly, but I think for sure that this one is certainly worth taking a look at; the developer FX-37 in combination with ILFORD HP5 PLUS. Certainly, and as I imagine…

5 Frames… With a Lumenbox lens and Rollei Retro 400S (35mm format / EI 400 / Voigtlander Bessa L)
I think that I first stumbled upon Jorge Otero’s wonderful little Lumenbox on Etsy when I was searching for pinhole cameras. The Lumenbox is very much not a pinhole camera. It uses a simple meniscus lens to achieve a wonderful swirly distortion that I was immediately entranced with. I bought a Lumenbox as a birthday…

5 Frames… Of Kodak Tri-X 400 35mm and a Lomo LC-A (35mm Format / EI 400 / Lomo Minitar 1 32mm f/2.8)
Until late March this year (last week at the time of writing), I hadn’t shot a roll of film in more than 10 years, since around the time Kodak discontinued Plus-X. I recently discovered that a great independent lab (Boutique Film Lab) opened up in my hometown of Nashville, TN, a few years ago and…

5 Frames… At the farm on ILFORD HP5 PLUS and Voigtlander ULTRON SL II 40mm F/2 (35mm format / EI 400 / Nikon FM3A) – by Michael
I was recently in a farming community outside Columbia, Missouri, where my in-laws have a wonderful farm. It’s where my wife, my daughter, and I go to get away from the city and relax. My mother-in-law had just returned from a cattle auction the week before and she brought several new cows home with her.…

5 Frames… Of Kodak Portra 400 on a Kodak M35 plastic camera – by Kerry Constantino
The reputation of Kodak Portra 400 precedes itself. Warm, forgiving, with a soft grain that shows up velvety. The colors that Portra highlights well are warm ones; reds, ambers, earthy browns, mossy greens, and turquoise. Skin tones are true and highlights can sometimes appear just a touch golden. It’s one of my favorite films, and…

5 Frames… At St Athan Boys’ Village on Cinestill 800T / Canon A-1 + Canon FDn 50mm f/1.8
On August 8th 1925, Boys’ Village opened up near St. Athan, South Wales. It was a holiday camp designed to provide some much-needed relief for Welsh miners from the intensity of work in the coal mines, and was essentially a small village with it’s own swimming pool, gymnasium, and cricket pitch. The list of facilities…

5 Orthochromatic Frames… Of Washi A (35mm format / El 50 / Minolta SR-T 303b + MD F1.7/50mm)
What I hesitated for a long time. No, I don’t need this camera. Why should I? I have a Minolta X-300 and I’m very happy with it, so why should I get an SR-T 101 or 303? Damn, it’s fully mechanical and except for a light meter, doesn’t need any power. All right, in no…

5 Frames… In the fog with an Agfa Optima I and NoColorStudio No. 10 film (35mm Format / EI 100 / Agfa Color-Agnar f/2.8/45mm)
A few months ago there was a presentation of various black and white films on emulsive.org. It made me curious. Without further ado, I ordered the High ISO Set with films No. 99 and No. 10 from NoColorStudio in Lithuania. No. 99 has ISO 990 and No. has ISO 100. ISO 100 is High ISO?…

5 Frames… Of Dresden Neustadt on Kodak Portra 160 (35mm format / EI 160 / Minolta SRT MC-II + Minolta MC 35mm f2.8) – by Konrad Kiesel
Lately, I found myself in the urge of shooting my trusty old Minolta SRT MC-II. While firing away some shots, to see if the shutter sounds reasonable at different speeds, I came to realise that I must have loaded some film into it at some point. Also I could not remember what film I loaded…

5 Frames… Ending in a Pacific sunset on Kodak Portra 400 (35mm Format / EI 400 / Canon A-1 + Canon 50mm 1.4) – by Zak DenHartigh
This past November, I had the opportunity to visit a close friend of mine in Los Angeles, California. Given the current situation with covid, I didn’t really know what to expect on my trip. I was worried that there may not be enough going on to enjoy or photograph. I am thankful that there ended…

5 Frames… From an old, familiar Pentax K1000 on Kodak T-MAX 400 (35mm Format / EI 400 + SMC Pentax-M 28mm f/2.8)
I brought my Pentax K1000 (a combined birthday and Christmas gift in 1988) back into service in 2021, after a decades-long hiatus from it, and after 15 or so years of not shooting film at all. I was surprised to find myself every bit as happy to be shooting film as I had been when…

5 Frames… Of Latvia’s Kaucminde Manor on Lomography Berlin 400 Kino film (Nikon FE2 and Nikon 55mm f/1.2 AI)
The Kaucminde Manor is an impressive palace building from the early 19th century. In 1920-30 this facility was house to Latvia’s most popular Housekeeping School. The property was belonged to count Peter Ludwig von Palen. In 2018 Kaucminde was hit with a big fire which left the building badly damaged. I have always had a…

5 Frames… With a Canon A-1 and a roll of 1987 Sainsbury’s Colour Print Film (CPF) and a Canon A1
The effect of more than thirty years on colour negative film is unpredictable. That I had in my hand a roll of Sainsbury’s CPF, a budget film from 1987 marketed by a UK supermarket, was unlikely. That a newly arrived Canon A-1 sat on the desk across the room was none other than good fortune.…

5 Frames… Of Rex and Neil on a 90-year old Rolleiflex Standard 621 (120 Format / EI 400 / ILFORD HP5 PLUS)
Just over a year ago, whilst hunting for the mythical £10 Leica in an antique shop, I came across this old Rolleiflex disguised amongst about twenty box brownies. The focus dial was borderline seized, the focus screen — apart from being dark enough to be totally useless in the dim light — seemed to be…
