Your daily dose of photo noise.
After a short social media campaign, Ilford finally revealed something new: Kentmere Pan 100 and 400 films are now available in 120 format. Cheap, reliable and dependable film in medium format is always a good thing!

If you’d try to name a few most influential Nikon film cameras, I can bet you’d completely forget about this one – Nikon F-801 from 1988.

Pentax has announced the latest lens addition recently, the first D FA Limited lens in the lineup, smc Pentax-D FA 21mm F2.4 ED Limited DC WR. All good and well, much-needed addition, potentially exactly the lens Pentaxians worldwide were waiting for.
Continue reading “The latest Pentax lens addition, new Limited lens is here”It’s time to finally pack my bags and go, nice weather, new landscapes and seascapes are waiting for me! A week of travel ahead!
As planned, I’m packing three Pentax film SLRs, a panoramic and compact film camera, and a Canon DSLR. I took eight lenses for those two systems, and eight rolls of film. It should be enough!
Continue reading “It’s vacation time!”So, I’m going on a vacation. My itinerary says I’m going to Labin, a smallish town in Istria, Croatia for a few days. After that, a day in Rijeka, and finally a few more days in Mandre, island Pag.
A week out of town, a week filled with many photo opportunities…

After a few years of hiatus, I’ve dug up my flatbed scanner, Canon CanoScan 8800F, the only working scanner I have that can scan medium format film. It needed some maintenance, all four glass surfaces needed a thorough cleaning, and I had to remember how to use a flatbed scanner – I haven’t been using it almost since the day I bought a dedicated 35mm film scanner.

Despite my bold claim, it is not as bad as it seems, at least for the end-users! Nikon Zfc (yes, I know, there’s a space between Z and fc, but it looks awful in the body text, so I’ll ignore it from now on) is a very interesting camera, it looks gorgeous, but Nikon went just a step too far replicating retro dials from mechanical film cameras and made them lie to you, at least sometimes.

Days around Easter 2021. were strange – at first, the rain was trying to soak everything, and it was trying hard. Then, on Easter, it was nice, sunny and warm, and finally, for the finale, a day after Easter Monday we had a pretty heavy snowfall… in April… that didn’t last till the next day. All the seasons in just a few days!

Let’s go with the photos!
Day one, Tuesday. Double rainbow from my office terrace, a walk through the neighbouring park and a bridge.
Continue reading “#FP4Party post week – part one!”There’s not much to say about development – I have only the traces of my favourite developer, Agfa Rodinal, but I have a few litres of fresh Kodak Xtol developer, so it was pretty obvious why I chose Xtol – I had it.
Continue reading “#FP4Party development week recap”We had a week to shoot a roll (or sheet) of Ilford FP4 film, and I chose 135 format roll, with full 36 images to go through.
Continue reading “#FP4Party shoot week recap”It’s that part of the year, it’s time to celebrate Ilford’s FP films, regardless of format. FP4 Party lasts all month, the first week of the month is for shooting, second for development, third for posting the photos, and the last for lamentations.
