Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today I'm sharing my long-term review of the legendary Ilford Delta 3200: www.analog.cafe/r/ilford-del... Though v. sensitive (but not ISO 3200), this film can have different looks depending on the developer. I tested Rodinal, DD-X, and HC-110. #filmphotography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends How much does it cost you to develop & scan a single roll of colour-negative film at your local labs? Pls reply with your country and what you usually pay for this service. I'm writing an article about saving money on film; this would help me a lot! #filmphotography 🎞️🤑

Would you find an AI disclosure/policy for Analog.Cafe helpful? It would state where and how much (if any) AI is permitted in articles, images, and the code that runs the website, and explain how these limits are enforced.

This film appears to be balanced for very cool colour temp, which makes it difficult to edit. I hope they will fix it and find a way to distribute economically because it actually seems quite nice when it works out.

Hey #believeinfilm friends I tested the new Lucky C400 in C-41, C-41 stand, and in ECN-2. Ive also compared its performance with various colour filters: www.analog.cafe/r/lucky-c400... I did this because I felt that other reviews were too shy about the issues and the true potential. Thoughts? 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I've updated the C-41 development calculator on Analog.Cafe to take into account development temperature, roll use, and push/pull preferences: www.analog.cafe/comments/r3as It can even give you the times for room-temperature stand development with C-41! 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Turns out scanning Lucky C400 film can be a problem for some setups (or perhaps this depends on the batch). Here are some tips on how to fix the worst-case scenario in various image editors plus my project files for you to play with: www.analog.cafe/r/how-to-fix... 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm, This month's member newsletter is late, in part because I spent a lot of time trying to make it particularly informative: www.analog.cafe/r/why-are-fi... I explained why comparing film stocks is difficult and how to address common issues that can invalidate experiments. 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today I review my experience with the world's most sensitive infrared film, Kodak HIE: www.analog.cafe/r/kodak-high... This is a difficult film to shoot for a number of reasons, and there's a very easy way to mess it up. Is it worth it? #filmphotography 🎞️📸

Dmitri ☕️ @analog.cafe · 09/08/2026

This frame I think was my mistake actually, it’s Kodak Gold pushed to EI 800, and I have better exposures with other films yet it still feels a little over, at least when compared to results I’ve seen with this camera.

Dmitri ☕️ @analog.cafe · 08/08/2026

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Did you try Lomo LC-W? If so, did yours tend to overexpose? I had to edit this portrait, it was a lot brighter when I scanned it (and the negatives were quite dense). #filmphotography 📸🎞️

Understandable. Not sure if it would be my main camera of choice (the conveniences of the F3 are just too nice!), but I can see it being used as one by someone who likes mechanical SLRS
