Japan Camera Hunter (JCH) recently posted a guest article, Why Film is Booming Today, by Stephen Dowling of Kosmo Photo fame. In the article, Stephen estimated that that there are 75 different film emulsions available to the modern 35mm analogue photographer. He lists them exhaustively, with reviews and links, in his blog entry, These are are the 35mm Films You Can Buy Today.
The article is broken down into three sub-parts, listing films from Adox to Fomapan, Fuji to JCH Street Pan and Kentmere to Rollei.
JCH released Street Pan 400 only 18 months ago, but is already busy announcing a new project, a compact 35mm camera. What better way to use up all that film than putting it into a new camera! Kosmo Photo estimates delivery sometime in 2018. Some sources say that Bellamy, founder of JCH, rejects Kickstarter, so we shall see how it works out.
This past September has been jam-packed with analogue film news, from the widely report announcement of the return of Ektachrome by Kodak to the mysterious announcement of the first film SLR in 22 years, named Reflex-S.
