Fujifilm’s Superia X-TRA 400 35mm film has been a stock mainstay of Walmart and many other Superstores and drug stores in the USA for decades. As you might be aware, Fujifilm has recently been having supply problems, and many stores here in the US have been out of stock of for months on end. Suspicion […]

Travelogue: Fujicolor in Paris on a Nikon L35AF
If I’m being completely honest, Paris was not my first choice for a vacation destination in February. We were headed to Mallorca to meet with my in-laws for a week, and it was cheaper to fly to Paris and then to Spain, so we decided to spend a few days in the French capital. I […]

5 Frames… Of a Montreal Winter on Fuji Velvia 100 (120 format / EI 100 / Rolleicord Vb)
“Nice camera,” said a passing Montrealer as I looked up from the waist-level viewfinder of my Rolleicord Vb. I’d just photographed their local depanneur (convenience store) in the Vieux-Rosemont neighbourhood of Montreal. I had sought out this depanneur specifically due to its big blue sign which jutted out of a residential building. Fortunately for me, […]

6 Frames… Of Prague on six films on a Plaubel Makina 67 (120 format / EI 100-50 / Nikkor 2.8/80mm – by Frédéric Schneider
In the summer of 2022 I had a fantastic photo week in Prague (Czech Republic) with my friend João. I used six different films with my Plaubel Makina 67. The weather was sunny and warm (up to 38°C on one day, but Czech beer helped a lot to keep cool) with some clouds all over […]

5 Frames… As an ode to unsung photography heroes (Fujifilm NEOPAN 100 ACROS / 35mm format / EI 100 / Nikon F + Nikon Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8)
No, this ode is not about the camera, lens and film mentioned in the headline and shown in the photo below. The praises of NEOPAN 100 ACROS film, the „F“ and the Micro-Nikkor have been proclaimed in countless other contributions on this site and on many others. This is more about a device that lends […]

5 Frames… Of Eid-al-Fitr 2022 on Fuji Superia 1600 and a Pentax ME (35mm format / EI 1600 / SMC Pentax-M 28mm f/2.8) – by Yusuf Husain
This story begins on Eid, the last day of the holy month of Ramadan. Usually, on Eid, you give cash as gifts. But instead, a friend gave me an expired roll of Fuji Superia 1600. Context: Superia 1600 wasn’t necessarily a hard film to find when it was still produced but these days, it’s reached […]

Por las Calles del Viejo San Juan (Through the Streets of Old San Juan) on Fuji Superia X-TRA 400
If someone offered me an airline ticket anywhere in the world to photograph a city, I’d have to pick Old San Juan in Puerto Rico. I lived in this special place for three years (from 2013 – 2016) and it continues to captivate me. While living there, I mainly shot with my digital cameras, but […]

Unidentified Black Male, or 8 out of 10 frames: Creating a small body of personal portraiture on Fuji FP-100c instant film with a Graflex Crown Graphic
In my second year of participating in the EMULSIVE Secret Santa, I was fortunate enough to be gifted a box of discontinued Fuji FP-100c colour peel-apart instant film. For some of you, the mere mention of FP-100c might inspire heart palpitations, be it for the rare and somewhat elusive nature of this beloved, now-discontinued film […]

5 Frames of… Tulips on overexposed Fujicolor C200 (Leica R3, Macro-Elmarit 60mm f/2.8) – by Charles Mutter
I am endlessly fascinated by tulips. So far, so unoriginal. Even supermarket bouquets can yield extraordinary beauty, especially if left a little longer than most florists would deem appropriate. And our local florist often has really unusual, dramatic blooms – parrot tulips, “double” tulips that burst out like peonies… Usually, I photograph them indoors, the […]

Instant Memory: Textile collages on vintage found Polaroids and contemporary Fujifilm INSTAX film
This series of textile collages began with finding a collection of seemingly random Polaroid images from my late Great Aunt Thelma’s house. As one of the executors of her estate, my father asked me and my mother to help go through her belongings at her small home in Oklahoma. Among our findings were boxes and […]

My return to film: Roy Shiro
Many photographers look back at their work at the end of the year, to assess, critique, and, if you’re like me, to convince themselves that they’re moving forward with their work. This year was a bit different in some respects for me, as the end of the year marks the one-year anniversary of my move […]

Unrequited love: The Fuji GA645 Professional
I’ll admit my bias upfront: I adore the GA. This camera delivers sharp, perfectly exposed negatives with a minimum of fuss and worry.
