Polaroid just launched a new camera, a high-end model named I-2. It comes with LiDAR autofocus, full manual mode, a sharp lens, and can use all standard Polaroid film packs. It can connect to a smartphone using a Bluetooth connection, but it doesn’t come cheap.
The second part of my adventure with Kodak Technical Pan. TL;DR: I shot the only roll of Technical Pan I’ve had in Zenza Bronica GS-1, and developed it, despite having no Technidol, its designated developer.

Lomography has just released a new colour negative film from their LomoChrome series, a LomoChrome Color’92. It’s an ISO 400 standard C41 film that “provides a burst of retro charm and classic analogue character in any film shooting scenario”, with “fascinating blue hues, vibrant reds …
I was given a roll of Kodak Technical Pan film, which expired in May 2001. I’ve been keeping it in the fridge for a decade, and just now decided it’s time to finally put it to good use.
Yesterday evening, I developed two rolls of KosmoFoto Agent Shadow, 400ASA film, 17:30 min in Rodinal 1+50, minus some time for 22°C. Perfectly uneventful, both rolls turned out just fine. But I wouldn’t write a blog post about uneventful development…
It’s been some time since the announcement; new Kentmere films have arrived in the European shops. My initial speculation about the price was around 6€ for a roll, so it wouldn’t be able to out-price Fomapan films. I was almost right – prices are closer …
It is December, meaning the Shitty Camera Challenge has officially started! This edition of the Challenge revolves around the 1990s. By the rules, “your camera doesn’t need to be shitty this round, it just needs to be introduced between 1990-1999.”
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.
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 …
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.
We had a week to shoot a roll (or sheet) of Ilford FP4 film, and I chose 135 format roll, with a full 36 images to go through.
