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…]
When everyone is talking about Kodak and Fujifilm, let’s not forget about AgfaPhoto Vista Plus 400! Such a long name… As far as I know, AgfaPhoto Vista Plus 400 is different from it’s original film called Agfa Vista 400 from the Agfa company. Agfa Company Agfa company went broke because of digital ‘invasion’ most probably, … [Read more…]
Previously, I did a review on Ilford Pan 400 black & white film pushed to 1600. That was my first time shooting a black & white film and I sent it to be developed at Triple D. The result wasn’t fantastic. A few months later, after having learn more and also develop my own black … [Read more…]

I have people asking me where I bought the film. Well, to the best of my knowledge, only cameraworkshopsg has … [Read more…]
Fujicolor C200 was my first film when I officially started film photography. I bought it because it was the cheapest film on the shelf at that time. As expected, most of the images sucks because I sucks. I didn’t know I am not supposed to change the ISO for every shot. ISO has to be … [Read more…]
Kodak Tmax 400 is my second roll of black-and-white film. Previously I shot with Ilford Pan 400 but I didn’t like it. It’s due to my skill and not the film itself. Black-and-white in film photography is a skill compared to digital. To nail a shot, there’s a lot of thinking needed to be done. … [Read more…]
I shot this Fujicolor Pro 400H few months back and at that time, I didn’t like the film. Furthermore, it is so expensive ($16.50 and $13.50 if nearing expiry)!
