Уважаемый Дмитрий добрый вечер! Наконец-то собрался с духом и написал обзор на мой первый опыт и фотокамеру 120 формата Минольтафлекс 2, но к сожалению так и не смог Вам отправить. Не могу понять как это делать, хотя следовал всём советам, но увы, видимо я что то не смог сделать, хотя и заголовок написал и статью и фото попытался приложить, да только одно и прошло… видимо не судьба, хотя я старался…
How well do you think you know your colour films? Can you guess if something was shot on Ektar, Portra, or Velvia?
Daren (instagram.com/learnfilm.ph…), Yvonne (instagram.com/yvonne), and I are building a game that will test your knowledge of films. It’s based on the popular “What the Film?!” game (featured on PetaPixel and 35mmc). WTF?! was made for black-and-white film. The new one will focus on colour. 🌈
Once we have enough images, we’ll build the game. Your name and profile will be featured under each photo, and we may also feature you in the videos about the game. You will also get to play the game with a slight advantage and have your name listed in the Top 100 Rankings table!
New search tools and recommendations live on Analog.Cafe!
This blog hosts over 630 long-form articles and thousands of notes like this one. Some are reviews, others are essays, guides, apps, community, or editorials. You could always use the search function on Analog.Cafe (analog.cafe/search), but it wasn’t custom-built for this blog — it’s a Google bolt-on service that works OK, but it can’t distinguish various types of content, and it would often surface unhelpful pages.
This weekend, I built a new search engine and a recommendation tool that should help you get more out of this website:
You can now refine your article searches by limiting your results to specific sections (film, cameras, guides, books, apps, essays, etc.) and perform separate comment and long-form article searches.
You can also like & reply to comments right in the search results.
This new search engine also now powers relevant recommendations below each article and comments like this one.
I hope these new tools help you find the right stuff and discover new reads about your favourite films and film cameras. Let me know if you see any bugs or have ideas on how to improve things.
I’m also curious if you find updates like this one helpful. Do you?
This was extremely helpful! I am new to film in general, although I specifically want to learn more about flash film photography and there isn’t much info about it out there.
Hello! There are a few places you can try. eBay comes to mind and Facebook marketplace. You can also post it on social media like Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon. You can use the #believeinfilm hashtag there to get the attention of photographers who may be interested.
I recently have obtained one of these cameras, an L variant in very good condition from a relatives estate. I would like to be able to sell to someone who is interested in using it… finding it difficult where to advertise it? Any help would be much appreciated!!!
CineStill 800T is a tungsten-balanced film stock that would otherwise benefit from an 85C lens filter (see analog.cafe/r/how-to-shoot…), but in these conditions (middle of the night with the primary subject being the sky), it did not matter.
Close focus may be tricky to nail while zone focusing. Even at 𝒇8 (the same aperture as the famed Polaroid SX-70’s widest, analog.cafe/r/polaroid-sx-…), it’s hard at 0.3m with a 90mm lens.
I think Christine Turek did a wonderful job here with her portrait of Mila.
Lomography just launched an Instax Wide camera with a 90mm 𝒇8-22 coated glass lens for under $300: Lomo’Instant Wide Glass.
I’m very happy that Fujifilm allowed its film format to grow far beyond its in-house cameras, with many options available for advanced photographers, including the MiNT InstantKon rangefinder, back for large format cameras, and even a gingerbread camera with the help of the Jollylook manual processor (analog.cafe/r/building-the…, unfortunately just 1 of 1 for now).
However, quality glass options for Instax film are not cheap. InstantKon currently sells for $900, NONS SLRs (which accept a variety of vintage lenses with Instax Square) are $500, and backs for medium and large format cameras (while relatively affordable) still require the said pricey cameras.
Lomo’Instant Wide Glass, on the other hand, is $279. Though this camera comes short of full manual controls, “the world’s sharpest instant camera” comes with a 90mm (35mm equiv.) 𝒇8-22 coated glass lens with a 0.3m/1’ close focus (zone focusing), 8–1/250s leaf shutter with Bulb and a fixed 1/30s option, +1/-1EV exposure compensation control, multiple exposure control, flash & remote flash (PC), and wireless shutter trigger.
I’ve been waiting for something like this for years. My Contax t2 is constantly crapping out on me for some tiny part failure. The fact that this can auto focus in the dark is insane. Feels like a must cop. It looks like it’s available on the 31st — is that true?
