    February 14, 2020 / 5 Comments

    Fujifilm Natura (Superia) 1600 was a high speed colour negative film which is greatly missed. I shot a few rolls and understand why.

    Combinations – Zorki 4 and Redscaled Film

    October 12, 2018 / No Comments

    Shooting with the Red October theme is one thing, shooting a Soviet Zorki 4 camera with redscale film is a combination that doesn’t get any more red.  This ensures that the tool is red (aka Soviet), but also the result (aesthetically). The thought of this came through a suggestion from a friend on the yearly Red October theme that is shot by photographers that appreciate cameras made from former Soviet countries.  They do have a reputation of quality issues, but also a fanatical following.  This is sometimes attributed with the unique look the glass from the Soviet factories gives photographs. Redscale is a way of modifying how colour film is…

    Polaroid Spectra – Almost Instant

    May 11, 2018 / No Comments

    Square instant photography too limiting? Want a camera that fits nicely on The Love Boat set? You have a preference for the Polaroid integral instant film?  There is one camera that fits this bill, it is the Polaroid Spectra! The Spectra uses the same film formula as the Polaroid 600 cameras but is in a wider format rather than the more well known square.  The Spectra is more advanced and complicated than the Sun 600 series, and generally produces a better quality result.  Aimed at the more advanced user and unlike the 600s and even the 1000 series, it offers quite a few extra controls.  It does still maintain the…

    Polaroid Sun 660 Autofocus Land Camera – Instant gratification

    January 12, 2018 / 1 Comment

    Square format, instant(ish) images, iconic and fun.  No, not insta-social media, but a camera developed at the pinnacle of a company’s history.  The Polaroid Sun 660 Autofocus Land Camera was sold at the time when Polaroid was a powerhouse in the photographic industry and was considered one of the most innovative companies across the world. There must be something hardwired into human beings to share images, especially when recording a memorable moment.  Before the internet brought us the multitude of social media sites and apps, in the days when people rang each other to talk from a fixed line phone, Polaroid was producing cameras which allowed a you to make…
