With the increase in popularity of those model cameras due to the aftermarket coming up with solutions to modernize/repair them - I can imagine the demand is higher than Polaroid anticipated and will be growing. I know there is a guy in Australia who repairs/modernizes them and he had to hire...

These look like a 90s grunge/alternative cd cover/booklet in all the best ways

I bought a like new Olympus OM-D E-M10 MKIII off the ol' Ebay and took it out today to see how it worked with a few lenses (Lumix 14mmF2.5 , Olympus 40-150F4 Pro, and the Pana-Leica 100-400.) I was helping a coworker narrow down what she wanted in a camera, and she was leaning towards the OM-D...

Great shot! Scale and color. I have done some silly things in life, 190mph on the salt, 200+ on water, jumped out of airplanes a few times, etc - but mountain climbing was never on my list of interest. My hats off to those who do it - but I think I have seen too many movies where it has all...

I have had a great experience with the Cinestill CS41 kits. I like that I can order it in 500ml - so then I can just mix and dump it all in my smaller Jobo or Stearman SP455 tanks with a 485ml capacity without having to measure it out. I use the 1000ml kits for my bigger tanks. I buy the...

Bill, I did upon your recommendation - however I have yet to try it!

Great set. I like the bright colored changing foliage amongst the “permanent” darkness of the dead.

I tend to use my film cameras like my cell phone camera (I use the film cameras more, actually.) Thanks for the comment :)

Thanks Beth! It was nice to get out of the house and take a day trip.

You are correct, for now. I have been adding to some of my older lens mount collection for a while because the prices have fallen. I like to have a film camera, and a digital in the same mount (if possible) so this has been great for building out “systems.” I have a Minolta a7 35mm, and a...

In my typical fashion of shooting a roll of film in a day and seeing what I get - here is a some of a roll from my Canon "new" F-1 w/ Canon 50mmF1.4 and some Kodak Gold 200. Scanned with my usual Nikon D800 & Nikon 105mm Macro, Developed with Cinestill CS41 kit, and "converted" in NLP. These...

A few more shots from some developed Ektar. Such a great film stock. Some of these are duplicates of shots I took with the digital, as I find the comparison interesting. Mamiya C220 - 10--29 - Sedona - Ektar 100 - CS41 - D800-2523 by Paul Taylor, on Flickr Mamiya C220 - 10-29-25 - Sedona -...

That is why I took a couple rolls up there - I new it would highlight the red rocks and leaves well. Such an under-rated film stock IMO

Here are some of the first roll of Ektar 100 I shot on the little trip. To my eye, most of the time - film still wins. These were taken with my Mamiya C220 TLR w/ 80mmF2.8 lens. Developed with Cinestill CS41 and "scanned" with the same camera I took the digital pics with - Nikon D800, but with...

Yeah, all the crystals / aliens / vortex crap is hilarious. Sometimes it really brings the weirdos. My wife and I stayed in a little B&B up there several years ago, that had a great view and had trail access to a few hiking paths. The owners of the property gave us the run down with heavy...
