I have to say, the Alfie [BOXX] really does make for a very enjoyable way to partake in a truly analogue photographic experience

The Mandler 35mm F2 7 Element comes very close to being a strong all-rounder. It has good center performance, solid build

it wasn't a mural at all; it was a detailed, rich panoramic photograph taken of the Morristown Green sometime around the turn of the 20th century

I was quite excited to get the Fuji X-Half. It disappointed to begin straight away, and unfortunately it has barely redeemed itself.

I’d find it impossible not to strenuously recommend the Viltrox 56mm 1.2 Pro - this is an extremely impressive offering from Viltrox!

I will definitely miss it. Good job Lomography, I am - despite myself - pretty impressed with the Lomography MC-A!

Steve wanted to go to Pakistan, as not many people do go. Most are put off by nonsense scare stories and reputation, their loss

You can tell from what comes before that I'm pretty pleased with this CubePan purchase; it ticks the boxes for me.

The Kamerakraft Nikon Zf Thumb Grip is a tiny bit of brass with a bit of double sided sticky tape on it. It sticks to the camera between the AE-L/AF-L button

Previously on Cameras of Croydon… This is my third review of a camera model from Aeronautical General Instruments of Croydon, South London, under their AGILUX brand. The AGIFlex was a 6×6 SLR with a s...

I have really enjoyed the 7Artisans 35mm 1.8 - I just love some of the images it has allowed to capture when shooting it wide open

You really have to go back to basics to use this camera. No rangefinder, so either estimating the distance or using a separate rangefinder.

Since Leica R vs Leica M was a 'photo finish' in terms of what came out, we can move on to the way a camera works with a photographer's eye, brain and hands

Two new film cameras on the horizon, the Lomography MC-A and SilverBridges WideluxX - it's not often we get one new film camera coming down the road,

It was a lovely day in early September, a month where I’m often filled with anxiety; dreading the coming Winter and the end of the brief days of fine weather of Spring and Summer, but the Summer still...

Mr. Ding Pactcron 35mm f/1.8 isn’t the sharpest or most refined lens, but it’s a genuinely likeable one. Compact, well-built, and characterful

I will own a Leica iiig one day, and when I buy one I will be buying mine from Filmfurbish to get one as lovely as the camera he loaned me!

I think this is possibly why I find the Papershoot cameras to be a little more interesting, they are just different to anything else

In a packed crowd, where bodies and motion fill every inch of the frame the 15mm's sprawl turns disorder into rhythm

I mentioned at the beginning that I use my Contax 167MT since 32 years now and I have no reasons to doubt that I can not use this camera for many more years

As Bastian also found, the build quality of the Solinon Optik 18mm 5.6 seems very good, and I found the focus feel excellent.

When I was 21, my parents moved from the nickel-mining city of Sudbury, Ontario, to the quaint touristy town of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia

Inspired by Holga week and worldwide pinhole day I’d like to share half-frame day with you. It’s all about having fun celebrating this great analogue format! There will be a photo-competition with thr...

A few years passed, and by then, colour photography was gaining ground. Colour films were becoming more accessible and technically refined

Whoever hasn’t handled one of these, should. The Contax T is much better value than a T2 and more satisfying to use.

Well,  this has been amazing.  It feels a little bit like I took an immersive course in b&w  photography and learned a lot and ended up with some cool photos that I love!

But in the process I also took out the MS-Optics 50mm F1.0 ISM, which remains a personal favorite for exactly the opposite reason

The Light Lens Lab 50mm f/2 Rigid is a love letter to one of Leica’s most beloved lenses, and in many ways, it improves upon the original

Linc told me that the Kodachrome 25 was better than the 64, I've now no way of finding that out anymore. But at least I managed to shoot two rolls

Photographing people is easy in an urban setting like New York because they are everywhere.  Getting good shots of people, maybe not so easy. In my early days of trying to shoot street photography in ...

To offer some context, let me take you back to where it all began — a journey that, I suspect, may feel familiar to others

With that said, Phoenix II definitely seems to be a step toward a more conventional colour film. There’s still a good bit of halation

I'll start with Kodak TMax 100. I'm not sure why it took this long for me to get around to TMax 100. I may have had a 40 year old recollection of not loving Kodak

To conclude, Travel Photography with decent results in far away places isn't difficult, you just need time, which I have never had.

8th May is when this day is celebrated in many countries, Britain especially rejoices for Peace in Our Time. Alas, there's no peace, but war, war and more war everywhere.

I was walking up Fifth Ave heading to a student film festival at the Paris Theater when a string quartet of young musicians caught my eye

For people who love '80s nostalgia, the Olympus OM707 is a stylish camera system that's considerably less expensive than the competition

The Fuji X half is different though. Yes there are little influences maybe - it looks like a film camera of some sort.

And that’s the most interesting thing I found about the Fuji X half camera — it was not any one feature or quirk, but the fact that it exists at all.

My goal wasn’t to mimic film or preserve the original shooting mechanics, but to explore how a piece of vintage hardware could be used for new

My camera of choice was my Olympus Evolt E-1 Four Thirds 5 Mega Pixel DSLR. It's has fast become my main camera

Let thy west wind sleep on the lake; Speak silence with thy glimmering eyes, And wash the dusk with silver. – William Blake St. Andrews West Sands Beach, March 2025 An orange-and-white Brittany streak...

In one word Fantastic. The Balda CA 35  has given me a pleasure of shooting because of it's limitations and simplicity.

The story begins with a visit to a flea fair, where I succumbed to a Zeiss Nettar for what I hoped was a reasonable price.

In late 2012 Sony produced a full-frame mirrorless camera. The Sony A99.For some time, Sony had been hedging its bets with regards to digital cameras.

The ultimate point and shoot travel-party camera? When any conversation about photography enters into the realm of half frame photography, immediately someone will mention the Olympus PEN F. Quite rig...

Overall I quite enjoyed my experience with this Olympus iS-3000; they're cheap to buy and give you fantastic results
