Getting ready to develop film at home just got a little faster if you track your chemical use and expiration with Chem Log.
Analog.Cafe v3.30.84 adds a handy Dilution Calculator button to the Film Log app (analog.cafe/app/film-log) to help figure out precise chemical ratios and shows all selected chemicals’ stats/reuse calculators front-and-center when you need them.
Though you still should test your chemicals (here’s how…
Lomography refreshes their experimental LomoApparat camera with the silver Alexanderplatz edition.
Though I haven’t tried either, the LomoApparat cameras generated a lot of positive feedback at launch and years later, thanks to their ultrawide 21mm lens, appealing design, and a generous pack of experimental filters.
The original LomoApparat, released in October 2022, is still on sale today, new for $89.00: shop.lomography.com/us/lom…. Alexanderplatz Edition is $99…
CineStill’s new calibrated light source — CS-LITE+ SpectraCOLOR™ — for digital camera scanning rigs.
A poor light source can cause issues when scanning film using a digital camera. The colours may appear muted or show a colour cast that isn’t easily or completely correctable. Best results come from sources that use a fine-tuned combination of colour LEDs to render light as close to the natural, full-spectrum illumination as possible.
Today, CineStill is offering a new light source design, which they have…
10ARTCC is working on a foldable Instax Square film camera based on the iconic Polaroid SX-70 design.
The Polaroid SX-70 camera is a holy grail of instant film that was akin to the first iPhone when it was released in the 1970s. The world’s only foldable SLR with a high-quality glass lens, a unique aperture and unsurpassed image quality on a nearly 4x5 integrated film format. Several manufacturers tried to replicate the success of this camera — around the time it was released and in recent times — but they…
Jason’s early review of the Harman Phoenix II is a strange but captivating video essay that criticizes the product while showing some of the best-looking photos on the channel.
It’s not easy to break free from the influencer curse, where early access to a free sample entices the author to give a positive review. It’s not just the free sample, it’s the privilege to lead the conversation in a way that brings attention to both the product and the author as a cohort.
Updated: Fujifilm Neopan Acros (I & II) Film Review.
Fujifilm Neopan Acros is the only film that the company has brought back from discontinuation in recent decades. Based on what we know, it’s still manufactured in Japan and packaged in the UK (presumably by Harman/Ilford).
Acros II, which is the current name for the film, extends its sensitivity range to panchromatic (from the original orthopanchromatic) but retains its remarkable reciprocity characteristics and consistency across developers. The new version…
That’s true, they’re all different! Kodak’s latest remjet is particularly tough to remove (I compared it to Fujifilm Eterna, which is much easier to rub off).
About 1989, I got a roll of Kodak cine film, I don’t remember which type. I was developing C-41 at home and had read an article in Modern Photography magazine on developing cine film at home. It recommended just rubbing off the remjet layer with a finger after fixing (or after the stabilizer, it’s been more than 35 years). The obvious: remjet is short for removal [water] jet, so the layer is meant to be mechanically removed by a strong water jet…or a finger will do. I tried it and it worked. If you use a light…
A small update to improve the free reader experience on Analog.Cafe v3.29.112+.
July has been a busy month; despite my intentions to update the apps, I spent most of the time writing, developing, and photographing. However, there’s one small feature I’d like to mention here quickly, which I think will help a few blog readers.
A reader expressed their frustration earlier this month about the persistent “View this image in HD” labels overlayed above all feature article panels.
