Film Photography, and Other Analogue Curiosities
A Walk In The Woods: With The Yashica A and Ilford HP5 My Yashica A is my latest, and favorite acquisitions so far: I’ve spoken a fair bit about it in a recent article where I shot a pack of expired Portra 400 VC. Although I was very pleased with the results I got out Continue Reading
Fixing Light Seals On The Cheap Our cameras are getting old: That’s just a fact. With that age comes the deterioration of certain parts and materials. One of the most common of these are light seals. My Light Seal Issue Often times when you find an old camera, whether it’s been sitting for years or Continue Reading
Camera Ergonomics: What Does It Mean? Ergonomics is a word that gets thrown around a lot. We hear it when someone is describing a camera, and may even use it ourselves. It’s used to describe the design of a camera (or product), and how it feels in the hand. It seemed like kind of a Continue Reading
