In this blog post, I am going to showcase some of the photos I took when I visited Prudential Marina Bay Carnival earlier this year. The film I used, as mentioned in the title, was Fujifilm Premium 400, with my favourite Leica M6. This film was processed and scanned by SHOWA Hong Kong. I really … [Read more…]
Analogue films entail both surprise and shock. I should be immuned to this but I can’t help feeling upset for a while when my photos on Rossmann 100 came back horrible. I had previously shot 4 rolls of expired Rossmann 100 and the photos were beautiful. However, this particular last roll of the batch came … [Read more…]
Updates (2 June 2019): The film prices listed in this blog post are outdated because Fujifilm increased their film prices! Hello fellow film shooters! I haven’t been blogging because I am very busy with my work. Thank goodness, I had a little vacation last week to Tokyo, Japan! We all know, Japan (particularly Tokyo) is … [Read more…]
Whew, Adox Color Implosion 100, a rare film! I bought one roll while travelled in Hong Kong in December 2016. Can’t remember the exact price but I am sure it’s not cheap, probably more than SGD10. The staff at the shop told me Color Implosion 100 is a newly invented film and it’s from Australia. … [Read more…]
Kodak BW400CN is the first C-41 process black & white film I have tried. Unfortunately, Kodak has discontinued this film in year 2014. To the best of my knowledge, another alternative to have C-41 process BW film would be Ilford XP-2. The XP-2 is also available as a disposable camera. Anyway, the obvious benefit of … [Read more…]
I got my expired batch of Lomography 120mm Earl Grey 100 black & white film from my cousin. The good thing about film photography is that relatives and friends start giving you their cameras (mostly spoiled) and expired films. Anyway, this batch has expired in year 2013. I don’t expect them to have much difference … [Read more…]
The colour negative film reviewed in today’s blog post is (乐凯) Lucky Super New 100 from China. I bought only one roll from SNAPPP Taipei. I loaded it onto my Nikon FM2 and brought it to Singapore Zoo & River Safari trip (got a free corporate pass, teehee). The film was processed and scanned by … [Read more…]
The colour negative film to be reviewed in this blog post is Tudorcolor XLX 200. First of all, Tudor company, which has been sold to another company in 2009, sold the very last roll of this film in 2015. However, I heard rumour has it that Tudorcolor XLX 200 is a repackaged Fujifilm Superia 200. … [Read more…]
I bought my roll of Lomochrome Purple XR100-400 film from Bangkok. It’s an expensive 35mm film, costing roughly SGD20 for 36-exposure. As the name suggests, this film makes your images purple. It’s kind of cool actually. History How does this film came about? Lomography Purple is designed to imitate the discontinued Kodak Aerochrome film, which … [Read more…]
Thanks to my friend-cum-colleague Humaira for lending her Polaroid LAND camera model 104 to me. First of all, it’s really such a shame Fujifilm decided to stop the production of fp-100c films. Is there any company who want to take over the production? Impossible Project? Anyway, fp-100c is a peel-apart film where you need to … [Read more…]
