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 …
