COndiVIDere, From the 2020 Lockdowns in Italy

Monochrome — HP5+, Printed on Foma Speed RC Multigrade

Sharing Time, Spaces, Food, and Emotions During the 2020 Lockdowns in Italy

The Pandemic

Condividere, v. : to share/divide amongst others (Italian). When a word is repeated too often, it loses its meaning — as noted by the famous Italian filmmaker, Federico Fellini. In the context of social networks, sharing takes on the meaning of an obsessive broadcasting of daily routines.

E-6 — Provia 400F

Provia 400F is the second generation of the Provia 400 fast slide film series with a finer grain — an RMS granularity of 13, compared to 15 for the original. It is the second-to-last Fujifilm innovation in this line. The final iteration in the series is FujiChrome Provia 400X, which has been discontinued in 2013, along with dozens of other stocks the company axed semi-recently.

Chinon Bellami

1980 Japanese 35mm Viewfinder

A Tiny 35mm “Barn Door” Point-and-Shoot

Chinon was a Japanese camera manufacturer, bought by Kodak in 2004 during its “painful shift toward digital products. ” Though not nearly as famous as Kodak, Chinon has been in business since 1948, building discount K-Mount cameras. This particular camera, Chinon Bellami, can also be found as Revue 35CC with a slightly-altered design and precisely the same construction.

Magazine Review

The images Meredith published in her fantastic little magazine aren’t shot on a film camera. They are digital creations, sneaked from a train onto paper. The zine is dedicated to Keith, whom Merideth must care plenty about as the amount of attention to detail in this publication is remarkable.

Olympus Pen FV

1967 Japanese 35mm Half-Frame SLR

The Elegance of Accomplished Engineering and Invention

When I opened the package from Tokyo, I couldn’t contain my excitement. There it was, the Olympus PEN FV body I had ordered a few weeks before. I checked the serial number and determined that 1970 was the year of manufacture. The FV camera is one of those uncommon objects where everything about them is graceful and elegant.
