510 Pyro. My new favourite developer? – by Chris Chinnock
One of the things that I love about film photography is how the decisions you make have an impact on the final image — choice of camera, lens, film stock, and developer as well as how you decide to apply these elements give us creative control over the final outcome. The same logic applies to…

5 Frames… Of Orwo DN21 during a hot Como summer on a Contax 139Q (35mm Format / EI 12 / Yashica ML 24mm f/2.8 lens) – by Sergio Palazzi
Along with the Orwo UN54 that I quoted before, I also ordered a 30.5 m roll of DN21 from the Orwo Shop. This was something unusual for me, as films not primarily intended for taking pictures in a normal camera are not my cup of tea. I mean, for graphic purposes I used a lot…

5 Frames… Of ~30 years expired ORWO NP22 (EI 80 / 120 Format / Hasselblad 500CM)
Sometimes technical perfection counts less than the artistic adventure of trying new things, and I recently decided to join the growing number of photogs shooting expired film.
