I just watched Grainydays’ video on this film, and it struck me (which should’ve been obvious): it was based on Ilford XP2 emulsion! (XP2 review: analog.cafe/r/ilford-xp2-s…)
A little upset I didn’t immediately realize this when I saw the leaked photos of the film boxes. But of course, this makes all the sense in the world.
I’m also pleased to see the young scientists that made it possible. There’s an ongoing fear in the film photography community that the knowledge we…
I’m starting to see more posts about the little-known Ilford Ilfocolor 400 film. Note that this film is not what the Harman Phoenix announcement is about.
You see, Ilford was split about a decade ago into two companies, one operating the factory in the UK, which goes by Harman (Ilford Photo) and makes films like Ilford HP5 — and the other, Ilford Imaging Switzerland GmbH. The latter went through bankruptcy and switched a lot of owners but it retains the rights to Ilford name, which they “rent” to Harman to sell…
Harman, the brand that sells Ilford black and white films has been teasing something for the past few weeks. Only a select few photographers and influencers got special cards from the firm. But unconfirmed yet real-looking ISO 200 colour film packaging has been spotted: youtube.com/watch?v=jeXi3C…
Apparently, a store has made the film available early and one Reddit user was able to snag it before it was de-listed.
No sample photos yet.
This is the second time this year a retailer broke the…

The camera is expected to sell for $5,495 USD. To get yours, you need to sign up on the reservation form: www2.kodak.com/super-8-cam…
I decided that rather than shooting a huge range of B&W films over the last few years it’s time to pick one and really appreciate and understand how it works.
The article is helping my decision making — it looks like I’m down to choosing between HP5 and Foma (probably 200)
Hey, I used silicone. Ideally, it’s best to use a glue that can fasten the materials securely (glass to metal) but the problem with superglue is that it’s very fast and very messy. Instead, something that takes time to cure will give you a chance to clean up any residue, test, and make adjustments.
I don’t have an exact brand or make, with me right now — sorry!
Hey Dmitri, Ive picked up a Vitessa that a bit of a project (sticky shutter — wish me luck, but it’ll be fun). One of the issues is the rangefinder mirror has fallen off. What glue did you use to repair yours? I assume super glue isnt the answer
