The Kiev 60. It was the camera that got me into medium format film photography, and for better or worse, the one that I love, and the one that frustrates me the most. A Soviet tank of a camera — the T-34 if you will — it’s not one that you want to lug up […]

5 Frames… Of Yosemite on Fuji Pro 400H on a Yashica Mat-124 G (120 Format / EI 400 / Yashinon 80mm f/3.5)
I had a conversation with my housemate about the five places every Californian needs to visit: Los Angeles, San Francisco, the Central Coast, Lake Tahoe, and Yosemite. All are very beautiful and unique, and if you’re able, I’d highly recommend making the pilgrimage to each. I’ve been lucky enough to hit every place on the […]

5 Frames… Of Icelandic industrial edge on Fuji Pro 400H and a Mamiya 645 Pro (120 Format / EI 400 / Mamiya Sekor-C 80 mm f/2.8)
In between covid lockdowns, my girlfriend and I had the chance to visit Iceland. We went lightweight and camped everywhere. Lightweight except that I had brought my digital Pentax SLR in conjunction with two film bodies: the Mamiya C220 6×6 format TLR and my Mamiya 645 Pro 6×4.5 format SLR. Although I regretted the extra […]

EMULSIVE’S most popular “5 Frames” of 2020
If you’re celebrating, Merry Christmas! If you’re not, welcome to the end of a year which, well, that’s enough about that. I made a promise to myself early in 2020 that I’d do my best to focus on the positives and share a little more love than usual this year. Things didn’t turn out exactly […]

9 Frames… Or 3 triptychs from a Fujifilm TX-1 in New York, California and Japan
At this point in my film career, I own my fair share of cameras. I’ve bought a Mamiya RB67 and some lenses. I splurged on a Plaubel Makina 67. I even found a Mamiya 7 II for half street value courtesy of a kind old man on craigslist. And I’ve shot with all of these […]

5 Frames… On Fujifilm Fujicolor Pro 400H (120 Format / EI 400 / Pentax 645 + SMC Pentax-a 645 45mm f/2.8)
Being at home for the last two months has only afforded me opportunities to be outside shooting pictures here and there. One night while I was going through some images I had shot on a Lubitel 166b I had bought to start playing with medium format photography, I found myself yearning for something a bit […]

NOT Being Vivian Maier: NOT really a Rolleiflex 2.8F camera review
It has nearly been 12 months since I got my hands on my Rolleiflex 2.8F, and whilst I’m not usually a reviewer of equipment, I’d like to share my experience of using this iconic camera and the inspiration behind me finally owning one. Like many who were first made aware of the story of Vivian Maier, I was completely […]

5 Frames… Of Fujifilm Fujicolor Pro 400H (120 format / EI 100 / Kowa Six MM)
I recently got back into shooting film. I was more of a casual shooter until 2019 when I picked up my first medium format camera: a Kowa Six MM with an 85mm/F2.8 lens. The reverse viewfinder and square composition were awkward at first, but I grew to like the simplicity and the short rolls. Twelve […]

5 Frames… With Fujifilm Fujicolor Pro 400H (EI 400 / 35mm format / Canon EOS 1000FN)
Hearing good things about FujiFilm Fujicolor Pro 400H, I thought I’d get involved. I’d be using the camera body of Canon EOS 1000FN, which was big in the early ’90s. The camera seems sturdy and reliable, I tend to overexpose by one stop, as I think the light meter may have deteriorated over the past […]

My return to film: Zisis Kardianos
I came back to shooting film three years ago in 2017. For the previous fifteen years I had been shooting digital with a range of cameras, the last one being the Fuji X-T1, which I still use randomly or for special assignments. It is a fine, elegant and reliable machine and the results I was […]

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 […]

Fujifilm Pro 400H: The Best Film I’ll Never Shoot Again
A lot of my early digital work was rooted in colour theory, and as a result (despite wanting to limit my film photography to black and white) I have shot through as many different colour films as I could find.

The Bronica ETR: 40 years old but not an old dog
