The Phoblographer continues great coverage of silver halide related topics. A quick article on shooting with expired film, a piece on the troubles at Kodak, and an article with videos featuring Nick Exposed on buying used film cameras. Nick points out that celluloid-based photography is getting popular again, and with the lack of new film cameras, prices are going up, but there are still deals to be had.
Chris Gampart at the Phoblographer is going to do a series on every emulsion in 35mm or 120 that he can get his hands on. The first of the series tests Lomography XPro slide 200 film in 35mm format. This film is called XPro for cross-processing, a film for experimenting. This series should be exciting to see, as it is hard to economically test every film made (there are so many of them now!), since most of us do not have easy access to many of the brands out there. B&H levels the playing field for most of the world, but shipping and handling costs money, too.
Not to dwell on just one website, #BelieveInFilm has some great articles on the Leica Sofort, a wrap-up of five must-see film photography tweets, including the release of Cinestill 800T in 120 format, and yet another analog photography Kickstarter, the Optiko photobook. #BelieveInFilm also has a nice piece on shooting expired Instax film. Great site, a must see.
Finally, Nick mentioned in one of his videos, Mathieu Stern, with his collection of lenses, some adapted to modern cameras and some made from scratch, is well worth a visit. See Mathieu's YouTube channel, below.
