Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today's review covers an almost unexpected resurrection of colour-negative film production in China. So here's some perspective on whether it's worth it: www.analog.cafe/r/lucky-c200... #filmphotography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I've updated my article about developing colour-negative film at home: www.analog.cafe/r/developing... I still maintain that this is the best way to get started with home development but I've added some details about drying film, using the right film leader picker, etc

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Eastman Kodak Company has just announced distribution for their Ektachrom films! This post explains what this means, the history behind this action, and what that may mean for our wallets: www.analog.cafe/comments/53w8 #photography 📸🎞️

Update: Harman SWITCH is a registered trademark in the UK. This film just got a little more real. www.analog.cafe/comments/xj6k

Hey #believeinfilm friends, After days of integration hell, I finally added native HEIC support to film Q. This post explains how this new feature can be helpful for draft scans of freshly-developed or archived film (and why it was so hard to build): www.analog.cafe/comments/9yt7

Hey #believeinfilm friends, It appears that Harman (Ilford) may have a new colour-negative film coming soon: www.analog.cafe/comments/ig3n It's called Harman Switch Azure 125 and is speculated to be something other than redscaled version of Phoenix II. #filmphotography

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I reviewed a digicam. It's not the same as film, of course, but this one in particular caught my eye for its ridiculous design, waterproof qualities and a special way it distorts the image: www.analog.cafe/r/nikon-cool... Nikon Coolpix S31 (2013) #photography 📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today's read explains how to develop slide film at home with a C-41 kit and a bottle of Rodinal: www.analog.cafe/r/how-to-mak... Nothing new to mix or store; no rush to shoot expensive film — just the most basic film development chemistry. #filmphotography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I've got some news about the "secret" made-in-Japan colour-negative film by Fujifilm, a possible new Ricoh GR film camera, new Lomography lenses, and the insane silver price that can affect film: www.analog.cafe/comments/a871 #filmphotography #photography 🎞️📸

Here's one more option, #believeinfilm 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Trying to pick the main image for an upcoming article. Which one do you like better? 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, In this newsletter, talk about the invention of photography, the many names and dates associated with it, and my plans for celebrating 200 years of photography. www.analog.cafe/r/200-years-... #photography200 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Is anyone doing anything to celebrate 200 years of #photography this year? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...

Hey #believeinfilm friends, It's been very foggy in Vancouver this week. I was very busy with the blog, but managed to snap this photo on Kodak Vision 3 500T pushed to EI 1000. I've also updated the review of this film: www.analog.cafe/r/kodak-visi... #fog #photography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I've just added Kentmere Pan 200 to the roster of watched film prices. www.analog.cafe/comments/sb53 It's just a few cents more expensive than Fomapan 100, but available at more shops. Certainly a great option, considering how good the photos look with it. 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Eastman Kodak Company has just announced that it will be distributing Tri-X and Ektar! Does that really mean cheaper film? My findings suggest no. This is not making film cheaper right now. It's making it more expensive. The breakdown: www.analog.cafe/comments/2p2r

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I've sourced and processed 324 updated price tags on 35mm film + Polaroid to see if the prices have really increased since mid-2025. A complete breakdown of this new data + tips for saving money on film in 2026: www.analog.cafe/r/how-to-fin... #filmphotography 📸🎞️🤑

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Yesterday, I asked you what it was like shooting film in 2016. If you replied to that post, I may've quoted you intoday's new article: "Film Photography in 2016 vs. 2026" www.analog.cafe/r/film-photo... We talked about prices, film availability, and the community. 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, do you remember shooting film in 2016? What has changed since? I'm putting together a short article with some of my thoughts and would love to include some of your thoughts.

Hey #believeinfilm friends, There's a lot more film photography beyond the English-speaking internet. @sunless.art shows us a slice of the active film-shooting community in Taipei with his list of 8 favourite shops and labs in the capital city: www.analog.cafe/r/my-favorit... 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, We've got our first 2026 film price-increase announcement, along with new fears about silver costs rising. Should we panic? www.analog.cafe/comments/9nx7 TL;DR: no. #filmphotography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Kodak Snapic A1 kicks off 2026 analogue review season with weak specs but in a fantastic package: www.analog.cafe/r/kodak-snap... With some foresight and consistent light, this $99 motorized ultra-compact can be a good 25mm option. Would you use one on a paid set? 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Fujifilm released another digital camera with an Instax Mini printer. It looks cool and shoots short videos, but is it really necessary? www.analog.cafe/comments/2u5f 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, This holiday break, I went to Mexico City, and this is the photo essay about it: www.analog.cafe/r/christmas-... Happy to say I metered 100% of my exposures using the Sunny 16 rule and developed my Provia 100F (shot on my Kodak Snapic) in Rodinal. #photography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Looks like Film Ferrania is resuming its P33 production! www.analog.cafe/comments/nyf7 #filmphotography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Just confirming that the C-41 fix is safe as a black-and-white fixer. www.analog.cafe/comments/wr2s But you may not want to share it with your C-41 rolls! 🎞️📸

Happy New Year, friends! This is what I looked like in 2025: 1. Testing Polaroid BW 600 in unmodified SX-70. 2. Testing reversal with Rodinal with Phoenix 200. 3. Comparing Kodacolor 100 to Pro Image 100. 4. Testing double-exposure with Snapic A1. #believeinfilm

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I've just sent the last newsletter of the year, where I talk about the new Kodak Snapic A1 film camera, actual aerial photography on film in 2026, and the science of impactful images: www.analog.cafe/r/film-photo... #filmphotography #photography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, This is the last member newsletter of 2025! www.analog.cafe/r/top-10-fil... Top 10 most-used films, Chem Log updates, and the latest research in aesthetic science, which explains what makes our photos *good* Thanks so much for your support and happy holidays! 🎄🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, The shop is closed, but the website and the blog are up through the holidays! An update about the FilmBase (Analog.Cafe's Etsy shop) hours: www.analog.cafe/comments/d6ku #🎄

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today's review is for a very capable black-and-white film developer, Ilford Microphen: www.analog.cafe/r/ilford-mic... It helped me get the results Rodinal could never dream of: pushing HP5+ 7 stops to ISO 100,000! Although it also works great with slower films. 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, This year's last episode of the Analog.Cafe Podcast is out! Listen & links: www.analog.cafe/comments/t35y Daren and I play with the new Kodak Snapic A1, and explain why we think this $100 camera is the best one in its class and a good 25mm lens in general. 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, If you know of or have shot with Kodak Aerocolor IV, you may've heard of SantaColor — the first brand to bring this surveillance medium to 35mm film cameras. Optik Oldschool has now taken over the spooling and distribution of this film: www.analog.cafe/comments/xgny 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today's camera review of the legendary Lomo LC-A is written by Dylan Haynes Carstens: www.analog.cafe/r/lomo-lc-a-... Too bad Lomography has discontinued this gem in favour of their new point-and-shoot (which uses the same/similar chassis). #filmphotography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I've updated Chem Log, an app for tracking film development chemicals, to dispatch warnings whenever something is about to become exhausted or expired: www.analog.cafe/comments/4b3q The summary in the link above explains how it works. 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, If you were ever stuck with your film leader inside, this article is for you: "How to Retrieve a 35mm Film Leader" www.analog.cafe/r/how-to-ret... I explain why a film picker should be your first choice (and which one is *hands down* the best). Plus, other tools. 🎞️📸

Heh #believeinfilm friends, Have you ever wondered why some photos are better than others? I found and read a dozen peer-reviewed scientific papers that explain *exactly* what makes images compelling in today's article: www.analog.cafe/r/how-to-mak... #photography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today I review Kodacolor 100 — a surprise stock from Kodak that launched this fall: www.analog.cafe/r/kodak-koda... No one knows the origins of this film, though Kodak says it's a relaunch. I've examined a few possibilities, added samples & discussed grain & colour. 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I'm giving away the One Instant packfilm (watch the video first, it's a handful!): www.analog.cafe/comments/m2c6 #photography #polaroid 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, "Ride a Dragon" is a new photo essay by Canyon, where he uses Instax Wide diptychs to explore his artistic vision: www.analog.cafe/r/ride-a-dra... #filmphotography #photography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, What's the most popular camera film? Actually, no one knows for sure. "Top 10 Film Stocks According to 293 Photographers" is today's new article that offers a data-backed insight: www.analog.cafe/r/top-10-fil... #filmphotography 🎞️📸

lol this is in CAD but damn near a hundred bucks for a roll of film is insanely overpriced. If anyone here is shopping for film and wondering what an actual deal looks like, refer to this tool (which I built) that tracks global film price averages: www.analog.cafe/app/film-pri... #believeinfilm

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I have a tip for you on how to push film without actually push-processing it: www.analog.cafe/comments/psy5 This can be helpful if your lab doesn't offer that service or if developing at home isn't possible (e.g., you're developing several films in one tank). 🎞️📸

Pretty tired of selling so no email for you. Thank you all who’s been supporting Analog.Cafe all these years
