Heya, I’m Julian, and this will be – hopefully – my first contribution to 5 Frames, a series of articles that I enjoy a lot. It was in March or April this year (2022) when I found that roll of ILFORD PAN F PLUS while strolling through a flea market. One reason I bought it […]
Tag: ILFORD Pan F PLUS
5 Frames… Of ILFORD PAN F PLUS with a little help from Ordnance Survey (120 Format / EI 50 / Yashica Mat-124G)
When the easing of lockdown rules came into play in the UK I was concerned. I didn’t want the nation to rush things and for cases of Covid-19 to increase again. On the other hand though, I was also thankful that it would mean I was free to venture further afield if I chose to. […]
5 Frames… With a Leica M3, Summarit 50mm f/1.5 LTM and ILFORD PAN F (EI 50 / 35mm format)
Leica’s 50mm f/1.5 Summarit, which comes in M- or LTM mounts — I bought last year a mint LTM lens copy which I can use with an adapter on my Leica M3 — is often reviewed as an old vintage lens not being sharp enough in the center of the frame wide open. Even though […]
Olympus OM-1 and Zuiko Auto-Macro 50mm f/3.5 – Mercedes van study
Well what can I say about the wee Zuiko lens, this little classic which I picked up for buttons. A mere 50 euros, a bargain second hand. If you can get your hands on this tiny beauty don’t hesitate on it. Olympus OM-1 and Zuiko Auto-Macro 50mm f/3.5 I took the OM-1 and the Zuiko […]
5 Frames… With ILFORD PAN F PLUS (EI 50 / 120 format / Vermeer 6×6 Pinhole)
Earlier in 2019, I built a shoebox pinhole camera, and had a blast using it. But I wanted something a bit more reliable in its outcomes, so I went online and ordered a handmade pinhole from Poland. The Vermeer 6×6 Pinhole Camera came with a 34mm focal length, and a 2mm pinhole that results in […]
The Paradox of cluttered contact sheets
Contact sheets are a fantastic resource for film photographers, and can also be used by digital artists – although applying these ideas to a digital workflow can often distort the result (but I’ll come back to this later).
Building a point and shoot 6×17 camera: the TwoFourths DIY camera kit
In 2016 I decided to back the TwoFourths DIY 617 Kickstarter project, paying about $185 for a kit that would let me use two lenses on the wood and plastic 6×17 format camera. I saw this as a point and shoot camera, requiring less effort than my 4×5 and 8×10, and much less expensive than […]
EMULSIVE Interview #204: I am Richard Davies and this is why I shoot film
Plates, films, stars and scenes. I’ve been following today’s fresh interviewee (on social media!) pretty much since EMULSIVE came into existence back in June 2015 and I’m so, so happy to have finally been able to get him on for an interview. It’s Twitter’s Palaeoboy, aka Richard Davies! Over to you, Richard… Hi Richard, what’s […]
5 Frames… In the Sierra Nevada with ILFORD PAN F PLUS (EI 50 / 35mm format / Yashica FX-3)
This reliable little Yashica 35mm camera has been the envy of other backpackers — small, lightweight, and fully mechanical.
5 Frames… With 25 year-old ILFORD PAN F (EI 50 / 120 format / Zeiss Ikon Nettar 517/16) – by David Hume
I’m not sure if it’s a sign of having too many cameras or failing memory, but I recently slid open the ruby film window of my Nettar and saw there was a film in there that I had no
The Olympus XA review: how I fell in love with a tiny plastic box…
…and back in love with photography again and again.
Warning: the following review of the diminutive Olympus XA is highly biased and totally subjective. I love the darn thing and actually own 2 of them.

EMULSIVE's most popular film photography experimentation articles of 2017
What would film photography be without the experimentation aspect? Sticking to box speeds, recommended developers and “the right way” of doing things is boring

My Return to Film: Steven J Parkes
My return to film was not a definite decision I made one day, but more of an evolvement of my feeling towards photography.
