Thanks very much for this excellent overview. Based on your insights, I looked for, and found, a 35 EL at my local camera shop, but ultimately opted for a GT they had in stock as well. I look forward to shooting my first roll with this tiny wonder!
The kit is rated for 12-16 Films, but you should be able to get a few more when you develop them all right after each other!”
Is it the same as the Tetenal kit?
“[I]t’s not the same, but we did do our best to rescue this lost formula.”
Powder kit?
“[F]or now only liquid, but let’s see what the future brings.”
You can preorder ADOX C-TEC 41 today from CineStill, Fotoimpex, and Freestyle Photo.
Fotoimplex has also uploaded instructions for the dev kit which include things like development times (i.e., 3’15”@38℃ + 4’ for bleach, which is very fast!):
Note! This isn’t an application to become a Magnum photographer. Polaroid × Magnum Open Call is your chance to win a Polaroid I-2 with 12 packs of Polaroid i-Type BW Film, an intro session with a Polaroid representative, and three online group critiques with Magnum-represented photographers.
The submission is free. Sounds like a good deal.
This open call is an application to get a Polaroid camera to shoot your proposed project on + 12 packs of film.
You don’t need to submit a complete project. It’s a proposal; you can illustrate it with digital photos.
I’ve been feeling exceptionally busy during the past few months so I’m not confident I can show my best effort on this application. But I encourage anyone reading to give it a try. Could be fun!
This release fixes an issue that crashed the web app for GOLD subscribers when visiting pages with tables of contents. Thank you, Liam and David, for reporting the issue, and sorry for the trouble!
I will be adding automated tests to make sure this particular problem doesn’t occur in the future.
Lomochrome Color’92 Sun Kissed is an incremental update to the original formula. The brand did not share the technical details of its films and did not elaborate on the exact improvements in the current batch. Updates to film chemistry could mean many different things, sometimes difficult to identify without running elaborate tests (like this one: analog.cafe/r/all-the-iso-…).
One thing’s for sure: it’s a fresh batch, and it looks at least as good as the first version. I’ve requested a test roll. Should it come through, I’ll take a closer look and report back.
You can get the new film today on Lomography’s website:
The leaves look pale because of the green filter. On black-and-white film, colour filters will increase the relative brightness of objects/subjects that match the filter’s colour. In the case of this photo, the green filter matched the leaves.
Pulling this film allowed me to shoot with my camera’s limited shutter speed and possibly helped retain some details in shadows/highlights. But it’s not required to get the white leaves effect.
Hi Dmitri, first of all thanks for your blog! I’ve decided to get back into film photography after trying it a few years ago and I’ve found your guides and articles incredibly informative and helpful in brushing up on my rusty photography knowledge.
Regarding this post, I love the muted look of the “pulled” photos here, and especially the next-to-last one — the foliage looks incredibly pale, which is great! Is it mostly due to the filter chosen, or does the “pulling” also contribute to that significantly? I assume that using an ortho film would create a much less pronounced effect, is that right?
The last 13 #website updates were focused on content and messaging around GOLD memberships. I’ve also added links to contact me in more places so it’s easier to get help in case something isn’t working.
Meanwhile, many small changes to numerous articles are being pushed this week. Some of them are typo corrections and updated links. But most notable are the new tables of contents blocks.
I’ve seen Google digest my tables of contents and display parts of them in the results. I’ve also noticed that TOC links are getting used by the readers. I’m happy that many of you find them helpful.
I am working on adding more TOCs but the process is manual so it’ll take time to complete.
Thanks for the article, had one delivered yesterday.
You can set the date to 2024.
Just tell the camera it is one minute before midnight on 31st December 2019 and wait until it ticks over past that minute. The 2020s then become available and you can set the correct date.
I’ve got a few film-tested cameras with free shipping to the US and Canada for 20% OFF: filmbase.etsy.com
Konica Recorder — a half-frame, pocketable point-and-shoot camera with a very wide & sharp lens.
Olympus PEN FV with H.Zuiko Auto-S 1:2 lens — the only half-frame SLR ever produced with an incredibly fast lens.
Olympus XA2 RED — a classic tiny full-frame camera in a rare red colour with a matching, working A11 flash.
Mamiya U — a mint-condition camera with a very sharp lens and a very unusual design. This is THE ONLY CAMERA you’ll ever find with the original working shutter button.
Also, there is a 250mm (~375mm equivalent) super-telephoto lens for Olympus PEN and a 150mm (~210mm equivalent).
All of these cameras and lenses were tested extensively with film, they were the subjects of my reviews on Analog.Cafe. Please read the detailed descriptions for each with my notes from the real-world tests.
Hi, I found this camera to be good for both cases. For landscape, I appreciated its wide lens and weatherproofing. For close-ups the brilliant finder was indispensable. If the repairs are possible and reasonable in price, I would attempt. At least you’ll know that if the camera isn’t to your liking after all, it’ll still hold value if you choose to sell it after.
