Nikon Zf – How a Camera Made Me Love Photography Again

Scott Peterson — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 09:00:30 +0000

Sometimes the right camera doesn’t just take better pictures – it changes the way you feel about photography. The Nikon Zf did exactly that for me. If you’re looking for a camera built for sports, birds, or fast action, the Zf probably isn’t it. It can do those things very well, but there are potentially...

NEWS: Presale Opens for WideluxX™

Hamish Gill — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 16:00:03 +0000

Presale has opened for WideluxX™, a limited, German-made revival of the classic Widelux swing lens panoramic camera. Jeff Bridges, who in our circles has possibly become as known for his photography as he is for his film career, has spent decades shooting with the original Widelux on movie sets. That long standing personal connection turned...

After The Storm

Andrea Monti — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 15:00:25 +0000

In the early days of April a few days of heavy rain were all that lasted to make the river Pescara, in the Abruzzo region of Italy, rise up to the limit of its banks. The raise was not significant, just enough to make the water quietly flow on the adjacent land. Still it caused...

5 Frames with a Mamiya M Time Memory

Benjamin Chan — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 09:00:54 +0000

The Mamiya M Time Memory is the date and time stamping version of the Mamiya M 35mm compact point-and-shoot. It came out in 1983, a year after the original M, and has the distinction of being Mamiya’s final 35mm camera model before committing solely to medium format. The M Time Memory feature set is similar...

Nodus x Beers & Cameras Obscura II DLC Exposure Gauge Complication Watch Review

Hamish Gill — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 15:20:37 +0000

This is a review of a watch – the Nodus x Beers & Cameras ‘Obscura II DLC’ to be precise. I wouldn’t normally write about watches, but this particular watch has a place on 35mmc as it has a photography themed complication (mechanical feature) in the form of a sunny 16 exposure gauge. I also...

Reasonably Wide and Sensibly Priced – 28mm Compacts Comparison

Douwe Krooshof — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 09:00:37 +0000

For an analogue photographer, the 28mm focal length is the gold standard for street photography, and it is a great focal length to document daily life. Yet finding a high-quality wide-angle compact without spending “luxury” prices (like for a Ricoh GR1 or Nikon 28Ti) is a real challenge. Most affordable point-and-shoots from the 90s are...

5 Frames with a Nikon F100, AF Nikkor 24-85mm f/2.8-4 D & Kodak Ultramax 400

Walter Reumkens — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 09:00:12 +0000

The Nikon F100 was produced from 1999 to 2006 and was widely regarded as Nikon’s second-best analogue SLR with autofocus, after the F5 for professionals. I’ve only owned it for 12 years, having bought it after selling my Nikon F4s, which eventually became too big for me and, with the fixed battery grip, too cumbersome...

Fujifilm FinePix F200 EXR and a trip down Digicam Lane

Ibraar Hussain — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 09:00:38 +0000

I have dabbled quite a bit with various Fujifilm cameras. My very first Digital camera was a 4 Mega Pixel Fujifilm A403 which I used quite a bit in 2002/03. My most memorable journey was a trip to Pakistan where I spent 2 weeks shooting with it and then foolishly wiped the XD Card by...

A cautionary tale with a long expired film

Roger — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 15:00:44 +0000

A mint condition Lubitel 166 for a reasonable (very low) price at a flea fair turned out to have a half-exposed film in it. I have other TLRs and I have no doubt that they are much better, but I was curious as to what, in the film days, was widely seen as the affordable...

Tasma Type 25L – Painting with Ink

Omar Tibi — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 09:00:57 +0000

Agfa’s Aviphot family may be what comes to mind the most when aerial film is mentioned, but turns out, it isn’t the only panchro aerial film option available new. In exchange for digging around a bit, you might come across rolls loaded with a very different looking panchro film – including the subject. Continuing my...
