Panasonic 30mm f/2.8 macro – A Compact “Normal” Lens for Micro Four Thirds

Adrian Riu — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 09:00:23 +0000

Being interested in both the mountains and photography, I am frequently on the lookout for small, light and affordable equipment. In the digital realm, I find that micro four thirds (m43) satisfies my needs (I rarely print above A3 size) and generally exceeds my abilities and shot discipline. Some of the smallest interchangeable-lens digital cameras...

This is a Stadium, Not a Correctional Facility – One Shot Story

Andrea Monti — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 15:00:20 +0000

This is how the access point to a stadium has changed over time. From a place where people gather to have fun enjoying the performances of the soccer players, it has now been morphed into something more akin to a correctional facility. I have witnessed this transformation first-hand, having coached a small team of javelin,...

Logging Jamboree!

Jeffery Luhn — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 09:00:12 +0000

Living up here in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of northern California has its perks, even if they are a bit off-beat. There’s a popular movement called ‘The State of Jefferson’ hoping to have this region split from California to create a new state. There’s another robust movement to have this area split from the US...

Petri Color 35 D & Foma 100 – A twin test

Roger — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 09:00:45 +0000

When I see a camera going cheaply in a charity shop, I tell myself that if it turns out to be good it will turn out to have been a good buy but if it doesn’t, then I will have made a donation to a good cause. This just happened when I came across an...

Flamborough Head and Bridlington with Agfapan 25

Mark Ellerby — Tue, 22 Sep 2026 09:00:07 +0000

Featured image above: Sea stack at Flamborough Head I was given some vintage (25+ years ago expiry dates) black and white films which had been fridge-stored. Amongst these was a single roll of Agfapan 25. It wasn’t one of the first I tried, because the low ISO put me off a bit, thinking it might...

Just a Simple Picture: A One Shot Story

David Pauley — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 15:00:17 +0000

On a recent evening walk along the East River waterfront, I spotted a colorful group of sea kayakers beating their way back upstream from an outing in New York Harbor. I had a Nikon FE with me, acquired recently with a fast prime lens for about $240, loaded with Fujicolor 400. Although wishing that I’d...

Leica Sofort 2 Review

Iain Farrell — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 09:00:53 +0000

When I think of Leica I think of the iconic M. A camera that feels inevitable, carved from a solid block of metal by the finest craftspeople in Wetzlar, Germany. I think this is the way that a lot of people think about the brand, but look at their history and you’ll see that they’ve...

ORWO TF-12D – Controlling Contrast

Logan Harmon — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 09:00:58 +0000

I love technical films. Films that aren’t meant for cameras, or if they were, weren’t meant for normal photography. High contrast copy films, sound recording films, Microfilms, direct duplication films. All of these films can occasionally be found online, and i am happy to try them all. Don’t get me wrong, I love conventional film,...

The Hiroshima Day ceremony is a deeply moving occasion, bringing together people of different faiths, cultures and backgrounds in...
