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.

Stage IV emergency restrictions are in place across the city due to Covid-19. We are confined to stay at home until the virus is bought under control. I am fine with that. I found the round vase in a junk shop. It’s pretty old and is made of the most beautiful green glass.

“Polaroid Originals” vs. “Polaroid” Film for SX-70

Instant — Polaroid

A Side-by-Side Comparison of Old vs New Polaroid Colour Film Packs

The brand, known today as Polaroid, used to be called Polaroid Originals. And before that, they were named The Impossible Project. Which was yet before they bought the original Polaroid business that invented and built the iconic SX-70 camera. As the factory changed hands and names, the chemistry in the little magic squares saw its own share of alterations.

Der Pinsel, Issue 2: Unexpected; an Adventure in Taiwan

I met Angela, whom I knew from film Twitter, and her husband in Toronto about a year ago. They welcomed me to their neighbourhood at a ramen (or udon — I don’t quite remember) restaurant. The couple expressed their kindness with a few small gifts, one of which was a freshly-minted issue of the text-free magazine called Der Pinsel, translating as “the brush” from German.
