5 Frames… Of a slice of Amsterdam and Zaandam on Lomography Lomochrome Purple XR 100-400 (35mm Format / EI 100 / Canon Canonet QL17 GIII)
Once I learned about LomoChrome Purple, I had this idea in my head of using that film to take a photo of the famous “Lego” house in Zaandam. It’s this wonderfully unique building that looks like various traditional Dutch houses stacked on top of each other. More significantly, the facade is mostly green. People who…

5 Frames… Of sepia transparencies with Fomapan 100 Classic on a Homemade 4×5 camera + a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 150mm f/4.5
Last winter I built myself a 4×5 camera, mostly from plywood and aluminium. I bought a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 4.5/150 for it on eBay, which was made in 1939 but already has an anti-reflex coating. My go-to film is Foma Bohemia’s Fomapan 100 Classic and I have shot about 100 sheets of it. I…

5 Frames… From my first roll of Washi S (35mm Format / EI 50 / Minolta 9000AF + Sigma 24mm f/2.8)
On a sunny Saturday at the end of March 2020, I had the idea to try out Film Washi S, an ISO 50 sound recording film in the field. I love sunny Saturday mornings. A few days before, I had already made some shots in the house in my Minolta 9000AF, mounted with the Sigma…

5 Frames… Of birds on a 1000mm lens and Fujifilm Superia X-TRA 400 (35mm format / EI 400 / Nikon F601QD + LZOS MC MTO-11CA 1000mm f/10) – by Wenhong
More than ten years ago, I came across a book entitled “Birds in Our Midst” by Chew Yen Fook published in 1991. This book is a photo essay about the birds in Singapore. Of course, in 1990s all photos were taken with film cameras equipped with manual focus lenses. I revisited this book recently and…

5 Frames… Back in San Diego after 5 years (Kodak Color Gold 400 / Pentax K1000 + SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/2)
I made these photos while working over the course of a few days in San Diego, my old city. I went on a quick solo visit there this past June, my first trip away from home in over 15 months and the first time I’d been back in 5 years. In between clients, I would…

5 Frames… Biking on Akansas’ Mount Kessler with a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye and on Kodak T-MAX 400 (120 Format / EI 400) – by Jesse Camacho
Living in Arkansas, I’m always in awe of all the nature surrounding me. I can get in my car, drive, and without a doubt, end up at a hiking trail or lake. I guess that’s why they call us the “Natural State.” I took on mountain biking not too long ago. I do all of…

5 Frames… Of Querétaro at dawn on Kodak VISION3 500T 5219 and a Hasselblad 503CX (120 Format / EI 500 / Distagon C 50mm f/4)
For a long time I wanted to use motion picture film, I found myself buying Cinestill 800T for the convenience of developing but after doing some research I found that it is not difficult to develop motion picture film with C-41 chemistry. So I bought some rolls of medium format Kodak VISION3 500T (5219) for…

5 Frames… Field testing an Agfa Clack 6×9 on ILFORD Delta 100 Professional
I had hesitated for a long time, but at the beginning of April, the time had come. I was again in possession of the camera that was once my first. An Agfa Clack, 6×9. Back then, around 1975, my brother-in-law gave it to me. I had exposed maybe one film at that time, because my…

5 Frames… Of the Scheveningen Strand beach on Kodak Portra 160 (Canon A-1 + Canon FDn 50mm f/1.8)
There are few things more enjoyable than a day at the beach with good company and a shining sun. I hope for these 5 images to convey that feeling of warmth both literally and figuratively. During one of the trailing weeks of August, me and my group of friends decided to journey down from Delft…

5 Frames… Around Virginia Beach on Kodak Portra 400 (Konica Hexar RF + Voigtlander Ultron 35mm f/2 MC Aspherical Type II)
“Are you taking pictures of me?” he asked somewhat curiously, somewhat annoyed. I was. He spontaneously struck a pose, I quickly took the shot. “They stole one of my guitars,” he candidly shared. “It’s okay: I have two more, motherf*ckers!” I lamented the unfortunate turn of events. Seemingly unfazed, he replied, “I only need one…

5 Frames… At Helmshore Textile Mill with Kentmere Pan 400 on a Leica 35mm f/2.4 Summarit-M and Leica M6
I was looking into the story of how Kentmere Pan 400 came to be made by HARMAN/ILFORD in the UK. Fotoimpex who own ADOX, a well established film manufacturing company in Europe, asked HARMAN to make a film that they could sell to replace the Afga APX400 film after the Agfa factory closed. The formula…

5 (6) frames… Of double exposures with my EMULSIVE Santa on Fuji Pro 400H
You know what’s fun? Photography. You know what I like about photography? Sharing it. Sharing prints, drinks or talks, or whatever else you might want to share. And speaking of sharing, I’m rather happy to share this small experiment, on EMULSIVE nonetheless, which might very well be the best place to share film-related stuff on…

5 Frames… Photographing Beau with a Rollei Heidosmat 150mm f/2.8, Graflex Speedgraphic Pacemaker and Arista EDU ULTRA 100 4×5 film
If you go back and read my Return to Film article, you’ll see I mentioned I wanted to get into large format. Well, I have done just that since 2017 and I am now on my second large format camera. This portrait session found me switching to black and white film — Freestyle Photo’s Arista…

5 Frames… On a Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16 and Fuji Pro 400H (120 Format / EI 400)
It all started a year or so ago now. I am a newcomer to the art of photography and I have now collected quite a few pieces of digital kit. I particularly enjoy sea and landscape photography, especially at dawn when there are very few people about. I am also lucky in that I live…

5 Frames… Of Ampang Jaya, Selangor with a Nikon F2AS and Kentmere Pan 100 (35mm Format / EI 100 / Nikkor 50mm f/1.8)
For this shoot, I chose to use the Nikon F2AS mated with my Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 and a roll of Kentmere Pan 100 black and white film. My location was the town of Ampang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia which is adjacent to the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. All five frames were shot on the same…

5 Frames… Of Summer PNW days on FPP LOW ISO COLOR film (35mm Format / EI 1.6 / Minolta X-700) – by Lorraine Healy
Five Frames With Minolta X-700 And FPP’s Slow Iso Color Film (1.6 iso) By Lorraine Healy The lovely people at the Film Photography Project sent me some ultra slow iso film last year, some of their color and black & white stock. I shot this particular roll of 1.6iso color in August, during the lovely…

5 Frames… Of Sundukian Street, Yerevan, Armenia on Kodak Ektar 125 (35mm format / EI 50 / Mamiya ZM + Osawa 28mm f/2.8)
Many of us read the story of Ektar film, and know that the current Kodak Ektar 100 is a different film from Ektar produced decades ago. When I want to know “the look of the film” I search for it on Flickr, and I found only one or two pictures made with Ektar 125. I…

5 Frames… Of Penang on Film Washi A, a Minolta Maxxum 7000 and a Minolta Zoom 35-80mm f/4-5.6 (35mm / EI 12)
Many nights I think about tipping points and critical thresholds, about decisions made from which there is no turning back. I don’t really lose sleep over it. I think it’s part of why I started shooting film, how once you click the shutter the image is forever there, physically, but whatever’s in front of you…

5 Frames… Of Northern Arizonan Americana on Kodak Portra 400 with a Mamiya 23 Standard + Mamiya Sekor 150mm f/5.6 – by Garry Cahal
I have passed through this area of Northern Arizona known as Grey Mountain many times for work. This trip was different. I had my new to me Mamiya 23 Standard 6×9 medium format camera with me and a fresh roll of Kodak Portra 400. The abandoned Whiting Hotel has recently had a colorful facelift from…

5 Frames… Of Nordic summer bliss (and Heathrow) on Lomography 800 and a Hasselblad 500CM with Carl Zeiss Planar CF 80mm f/2.8
My family and I recently moved to Sweden. I had owned the Hasselblad for a few months prior to moving, but documenting our first few months in the country of its origin seemed poignant! The first few film stocks I had tried were Ektar 100, then Lomography Color Negative 800 (which I had unsuccessfully tried…
