Lomography just released a new “advanced” mini 110 film camera: the Lomomatic 110. It features a multi-coated glass lens, built-in flash, and automatic exposure (with aperture and ISO control).
Lomography is one of the few major film retailers that actively makes and promotes the 110 film format. Though it can be tricky to develop at home or at a lab, the 110 format is extremely compact, lending to tiny camera designs.
Unfortunately, the small film size also makes home scanning challenging. Thus, you may be…

CONFIRMED: Film Ferrania releases P33: an ISO 160 black and white film.
“With a sensitivity of 160 ASA, the P33 ensures a simpler and more versatile photographic experience compared to the past. Designed to overcome the processing and printing challenges faced by enthusiasts of the P30, the P33 offers distinctive features such as fine grain and defined contrast. This film not only meets the needs of professionals but also makes analog photography accessible to less experienced enthusiasts. Remaining true to the…
SPOILER: Film Ferrania is teasing something new, however, they have not yet made their English announcement. This post shares info from their domestic release in Italy.

Film Ferrania is about to release P33.
It will be a black and white film in ISO 160, according to Punto Foto, an Italian (Milan) photography store.
Here’s machine-translated (iOS) announcement from the Punto Foto website:
“There is no 30 without 33: The new Ferrania P33 in 135/36 format are on the way. This first production does not have…
A poorly scanned negative won’t look good, even if the photo is good.
On Analog.Cafe film and lens reviews appear within the context of some of the highest-resolution images on the web. I’ve invested time and money to ensure that each article reveals the finest detail from any camera/emulsion combination. This includes clearly visible film grain on 35mm film scans.
I believe this additional image data can tell a better photo story, whether by describing the…
Kodak has just announced a price drop of up to 30% OFF, depending on the retailer and the region.
Kodak sneaked the news for a brief second along with the slides for the competition celebration 70 years of Tri-X emulsion: instagram.com/reel/C2vYz7M…
The news follow my semiannual industry survey that showed an 8% price hike for an average roll of 35mm film across various shops in the past year…
Adox Color Mission Helios colour negative film sample photos and approximate release date announced?
I saw the new Electachrome video today (youtube.com/watch?v=aK0hlf…), where Molly shared an exciting update about the new colour film from the German film manufacturer.
Molly discovered that the German-language Adox website (adox.de/Photo/elementor-13…) has an announcement about the new film “coming next season” (whatever that means). The announcement is nowhere to be seen on the…
I did some research on this and you are correct. I’ve updated the article.
FYI2: there are some emulsions that are shiny on both sides. And I’ve found very little difference in scan quality between the orientation of film in your scanner: analog.cafe/r/film-scannin…
As a film photography newcomer also, I feel like shooting film gives off a TIME CAPSULE nature to my photos. Just like you said, it’s mesmerizing when you see developed and scanned photos. Personally, it takes me several months to finish a roll of film on a daily basis, and when seeing the final results, it’s like seeing the memories of the past few months, which, for some, I have already forgotten. And because I take every film shot very seriously(bcaus$), those memories are often precious, meaningful, but…
I have little experience working with DNGs or RAW image formats. My scanner outputs TIFFs, which I invert using a piece of software I built at home. I’ll check back here if and when I decide to tackle inverting RAWs.
Yes. In simple terms the DNG is a descendent of TIF.
A DNG from a camera typically stores unrendered data. Whereas a DNG from a scanner almost always stores rendered data because a scanner only ever needs to capture a very limited reproduction of a scene. A digital camera needs to deal with an actual scene.
So when a user manipulates a DNG from a scanner in Adobe Camera Raw — the debayer stage is skipped and the ACR tools simply operate on a TIF stored inside the DNG.
I appreciate all the content on this site, it has clearly taken a lot of time and hard work. I’ve enjoyed reading it.
People quite understandably believe that the DNGs they generate by a dedicated scanner and scanning software such as a VueScan hold undebayered RAW image data — when its actually just a TIF wrapped in a DNG.
The same result as when Photoshop allows the user to wrap a JPG or TIF in a DNG…
As you say — if someone is using a DSLR to capture their negatives — is strongly recommended to archive the…
