Oh, this one will be a love-hate doozy. I love shooting Kodak Gold, but I hate shooting it in a point-and-shoot camera or – what is more colloquially called – an idiot. Which can, coincidentally, be said about me as well because what else would …
What to do when you have a month to shoot one roll of film, that month happens to be June, and that June happens to be the beginning of an awful summer? Sticky, humid, and very hot (but not sunny), both literally and figuratively. You …
You know, for a film that’s advertised as bubbly, fun, and cheerful, Dubblefilm Bubblegum invoked some seriously dark thoughts while I was trying – and failing repeatedly – to scan it properly. When the time for editing came (what seemed like a year later), I …

After starting a campaign all over the social media, it looks someone found a leak, apparently Harman is releasing a new version of theirs Phoenix colour-negative film, aptly named Phoenix. It’s arriving on 16th of July 2025.
Everybody loves a 50mm lens! Fast fifty is the staple of any lens mount, Nikon Z users were already spoilt for choice, and they just got another fast fifty — the cheapest yet!
Kodak High-speed Infrared film, also known as HIE, is a black-and-white film with extended sensitivity in the infrared zone. It was discontinued in 2007, and all that’s available for the last decade has expired a long time ago.
I finally managed to test the newly available colour film from ORWO – the Color NC500.
Of all of the possible excuses for being extremely late with writing a monthly post (it’s July, for fuck’s sake!), the “everything went well and I don’t know how to put it into words” must be the most insane one. Not that it matters one …
A month passed since the release of Pentax 17, the camera has reached many hands, and more than a few rolls of film have already been shot and developed, so let’s run over the things we learned in the meantime!

This one will be short and sweet because, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, literally nothing went wrong…
Quite unexpectedly, Lomography has announced a brand-spanking-new camera that uses 110 format film – Lomomatic 110. Despite the low quality usually tied with the film format, the new camera looks like it’s a well-thought-out one.

Film Ferrania has announced a new 160 ASA black & white film in 35mm format – the Ferrania P33. It is a “fine grain and defined contrast” film developed on feedback from Ferrania P30 users.
From time to time, it’s fun to jump into live-action film development, writing about the process in real time.
If you’re developing black-and-white film on your own, you’ve probably heard about those one-shot developers. Mix ’em, use ’em and trash ’em, because they got depleted in that one development process, right?
