I am really pissed off. I just looked at my film shot on my Diana Mini and they look great. Trouble is I hate using the damn camera.

Would like to try #Caffenol developing again but confused about temp control. I always started with water at 20°C and results were good but when I measured the temp after mixing I found it had decreased to 15°C. Should I have been reheat to 20°?

Just a friendly reminder to all you keen and eager #fp4party goers... Share week begins 13th April. (This is to give time to those that send films off to labs). No biggie if you are sharing already... but do repost them so we can have a critical mass of FP4 images during the week of 13th. 😊

I've just had two 120 Ilford films chewed up in a Hasselblad back - the paper tore where the film is taped down. It's probably a faulty back but before I waste another roll I thought I'd ask if anyone has the same problem? #believeinfilm #Ilfordphoto

Two black and white, half-frame photos side by side, one is a farm track and electricity pole, the second is a farming machine that looks a bit like a funfair ride. The overcast sky creates a grey kind of mood.

Sorting out my back catalogue I found a load of photos shot on my Holga, that I'd never got round to sharing. This is the Atomium building in Brussels, cross processed in 2007. I don't think it's changed much over time. 📷 Holga 120N 🎞️Agfa RSX II #BelieveInFilm #FilmPhotography
