Hey #believeinfilm friends, I've been collecting data on film prices for 8 years. Today's update shares some revelations about its affordability: www.analog.cafe/r/the-growin... Inc: the best and worst deals, provides an overview of Kodak's rebrand, and examines the widening price divide. 🎞️📸
What's cool about this camera is that it also opens up like the Nokia 8110 in The Matrix, when Neo (Mr. Anderson) answered the call from Morpheus.
Hey #believeinfilm friends, This is a complete rewrite of my six-year-old camera review: www.analog.cafe/r/pentax-pc3... PC35AF is a P&S that could be a good companion at a reasonable price, thanks to its excellent lens, fast autofocus, and reliable exposure controls, all in a unique package. 🎞️📸
Hey #believeinfilm friends, "In Praise of the Humble Ricoh Diacord" compares Ricoh Diacord to other TLRs of the period: www.analog.cafe/r/in-praise-... According to Howard, it's a slept-on camera, offering a great deal for high-quality optics, materials, and a unique focusing design. 🎞️📸
Hey #believeinfilm friends, This month's community newsletter is out! www.analog.cafe/r/film-photo... I talk about three new cameras (Kodak Charmera, Polaroid Go Gen 3, and Lomography Fisheye 2) and a new way to invert film negatives. Happy Tuesday! #filmphotography 🎞️📸
Hey #believeinfilm, New episode of the Analog.Cafe Podcast is live! www.analog.cafe/comments/yp4b It's about inverting film negatives, our current options, and why none of them worked for me. As we kept rolling, I broke my app, then fixed it, and we kept Daren's genuine reaction to all that. 🎞️📸
Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today I'd like to share my long-term review of the strange and wonderful Nishika N8000, the "wiggle GIF" camera: www.analog.cafe/r/nishika-n8... It's both ridiculous — it has a piece of metal inside its plastic body just to give it heft! 💀 — and awesome. #wigglegif 🎞️📸
I used Adobe Photoshop, but it could have been anything, not technically complex. But it has evolved, as the original looked like this.
Hey #believeinfilm friends, I wrote an extensive manual on how to invert film negatives with film Q: www.analog.cafe/r/inverting-... It features some of my favourite film photos (inverted with said tool) and a few tips applicable to all inversion workflows. Have a wonderful Sunday! 🎞️📸
Hey #believeinfilm friends, I just sent the 25th monthly member newsletter: www.analog.cafe/r/film-q-v1-... It talks about a major update to a film inversion app I built and offers all GOLD members a chance to try it. The app is quite different from anything else out there. #filmphotography 🎞️📸
Hey #photography friends, Here's my new Kodak Charmera Millennium edition camera review: www.analog.cafe/r/kodak-char... Have you tried it? Which one did you get? (I know it's not film, but I figure some #believeinfilm folks will appreciate it!.. all product photos shot on film :) 🎞️📸
Pretty warm here in BC also and no AC! I'm washing my hands in cold water with soap and drying them in the air 🥲
Hey #believeinfilm friends, I almost forgot about Lomography's updated Fisheye camera! www.analog.cafe/comments/qo1o Lomography's unique plastic camera designs are what attracted me to film photography in the first place. What are some of the whackiest cheap-o cameras you've been shooting lately?🎞️
Hey friends, RETO has just released their new Y2K-inspired Kodak Charmera, a 1.6-megapixel lo-fi blind-box accessory, a follow-up to TIME Magazine’s “Best Invention of 2025.” www.analog.cafe/comments/ip3f They are $35 or $210 for a box of six. Would you get one? #photography #kodak
Hey #believeinfilm friends, Polaroid has recently released an update to their Go mini instant film cameras, the Gen 3: www.analog.cafe/comments/eicr I wrote about what's new in this camera, how the updates may make photos sharper, and what you may lose compared to earlier iterations. #polaroid 🎞️📸
Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today, I examine the ISO 800 film inside the popular Kodak FunSaver cameras: www.analog.cafe/r/kodak-funs... But I shot it with my very nice Nikon F2 + Nikon AI-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8. Have you done this, and do you think it's worth it? #filmphotography #photography 🎞️📸
Hey #believeinfilm friends, I wrote about my recent experience pulling Kodak Pro Image 100 -1 stop to EI 50 in development and overexposing it by +1 stop: www.analog.cafe/r/kodak-pro-... I like the results. Low-contrast, high-key with saturated reds and blues. Some upsides, some downsides. 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I rewrote my review of Kodak Portra 400 into the freshly researched and illustrated article with historic lineage, and better insights: www.analog.cafe/r/kodak-port... Kodak implies Ektacolor Pro is unchanged, but I did find some differences. LMK your thoughts! 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today's post is a short story Imad wrote about his passion project — Pellica — a notetaking app: www.analog.cafe/r/why-i-buil... I like how he presented his work and the photos that demonstrate the fruits of his labour. While it promotes his project, it is an essay. 📸🎞️
