Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today I'd like to share my most comprehensive film comparison yet, where I've sourced all the ISO 100 colour-negative films and tested them extensively: www.analog.cafe/r/comparing-... Did you know that Fujifilm still makes Fujicolor 100? I imported it just for this!🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, If you print at home, you may be familiar with f-stop timing, but devices that make it actually convenient can be expensive. Darkplug is a $25 f-stop timer app for iPhone that uses a smart home gadget you may already own: www.analog.cafe/comments/odu9 #darkroom

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I reviewed the theory, claims, samples, and new products for tri-colour film scanning in today's editorial: "Is tri-colour scanning worth it?" www.analog.cafe/comments/mmgq I'm not convinced. What do you think? Have you tried it? #filmphotography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I got to review a new light meter app that has a false-colour exposure display, tuning features, spot-metering, and a cinema shooting mode. Can be quite helpful for slide film, ensuring soft lighting, or metering for filming video: www.analog.cafe/comments/s2nf 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends I tested the new Lucky C400 in C-41, C-41 stand, and in ECN-2. Ive also compared its performance with various colour filters: www.analog.cafe/r/lucky-c400... I did this because I felt that other reviews were too shy about the issues and the true potential. Thoughts? 🎞️📸
