I maybe mentioned this in other posts but I went up north for Christmas this year and took more bloody cameras with me than clothes (unverified). This converted my horrible little car into a heavy goods vehicle. The drive up wasn’t so bad as I’d just downloaded episode 51 of the FPP podcast and all [...]

Mamiya Universal with Polaroid Back
My latest eBay purchase has arrived, a Mamiya Universal Polaroid Back. It’s awesome! Here’s a few quick shots: (above) The tab broke trying to take this one out so I had to find the two pieces in the pack, tape the pod back into place then run it through a roller. The chemical distribution from [...]

Flickr Slideshows
I thought I’d pull some slideshows together by tags. Each link will open in a new window. – Street – Polaroid – FED 3 – Zorki 4k – Mamiya Press Universal – Smena Symbol/Smena 6 Soon I’m going to have too much film to develop. I’ve been experimenting with blue flash filters and bulb mode [...]

My Backup
Maybe the ‘Backup’ is purely an FPP thing or they just gave it a name but its where you have a wee camera in reserve if your main camera is between rolls or something like that. The GF1 is now officially my new backup, it used to be my iPhone but it’s definitely now my [...]

C-41, A Reality
In my last post I believe my view about my C-41 kit was a tad rose-tinted since this morning I put a roll of Portra 160 through what I can only now describe as the shadow of my C-41 kit and completely destroyed it. The gelatine (if Kodak still use gelatine) was clear with the [...]

C-41, A Restrospective
In my first home, Tetinal, C-41 kit I managed to get through approximately 31 rolls of 120 film and 13 spools of 35mm film when the last roll was reduced to mushy pea soup. The first roll I home developed was a roll of FujiFilm taken with a Diana F+ as it was probably wasn’t [...]

Film Photography
I’ve got a roll of 120 Portra 160 in my Mamiya Universal to finish, then I’ll maybe take out the 1937 Zeiss Ikon Nettar with the other roll of Portra 160 I have or I might use up some of that Ilford ISO 3200 or 2300 to see what that looks like. This might kick [...]

Fujichrome Arista Success! Mamiya Universal
At one time I never thought I’d use the words ‘Mamiya Universal’ and ‘Success’ anywhere near each other but I feel I have some success here (despite loosing two out of eight frames). It was interesting to see how this Fujichrome Arista film handled colours when it’s cross-processed in an average c-41 kit. It helps [...]

C22 Film
I’d read a post somewhere on Flickr where someone claimed they were able to develop C22 film in a C-41 kit at 75ºF for around 7 minutes per chemical. I tried using my old C-41 Kit at 75º for a wee bit longer and it simply blasted the the emulsion off the film. I’ve got [...]
