Since I will be in London for a few days: Are there any interesting stores for analogue photography / cameras? I know that London isn't a cheap place but the prices should be reasonable if you suggest a certain store ... :-)

Does anyone know about a test about the main film labs out there? I always stumble upon 3, 4 labs (Canadian Film Lab, MeinFilmLab, Carmencita, Indie Film Lab) but never found a real test comparing these labs ...

It's my first go at doing one of these, so please yell if I muck it up in some way. My theme for the next challenge is... "The Postal System" - things part of, related to, or transported by the postal system anywhere in the world. I hope this gives plenty of scope for you all to find...

Talk / Whinge / Moan ;) about the topic here... No Picture submissions here folks - put them in the entries thead.

Okay, given my (non film) stuff for the past few years up until my recent shooting hiatus has all been "Candles, Skulls and Dimly lit rooms", this shouldn't come as a surprise, but my topic for the next challenge is "SPOOKY" (not @Spooky - an entire thread of pictures of the same person...

I've been developing my own black and white films for a couple of years, but I've only used Ilfosol 3 so far. It was what was on offer in the shop where I bought my first set of chemicals, and when the first bottle was finishing I simply bought some more. Now that bottle is also finishing, and I...

After a bit of a break - and repeatedly packing my neglected Hasselblad on trips - I have rekindled my love for photography and run out of film! There were four rolls of HP5 in the depths of my dusty old Billingham and two days into my five day escape to the Pennines I am on my last roll...

Hello all, I'm looking for people with undeveloped rolls of film that have been shot for a potential television programme (UK based). Have a rummage in the cellar/loft and see what you might stumble upon! Participants will have undeveloped rolls of film. They may or may not remember what...

A mix of stuff from a trip to Liverpool yesterday. Olympus Trip 35 and Poundland AGFA Vista. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. My fave from the day - Pilkinton's Glassworks - St Helens, from the train. The lady and the movement in the lower corners do it for me :)

Hey there guys! I have been in the photography world for 8 years now, and I have gained so much knowledge and developed a lot of skills. And I have yet to begin my video/cinematography career. I have taken a great interest in shooting wildlife, and from there, I have gotten the idea of shooting...

...the February architecture category that is. Ah well... here're three of the shots of the local gunpowder mills from last week. I was going to make the final selection from this lot if yesterday hadn't been so busy :/ 1. 2. 3.

The first film postcard challenge was here, results here, and the second round is here. I really enjoyed these, and liked the guessing component of the second challenge ( song title; the theme of the first was simply where we live). It seems like it might be time to try this again, if there's...

Following up on the antique shop finds in this post: Both cameras needed work on the bellows as they were full of holes. However, the internet recommended solution of painting with Water Based Gutta seems to have done the trick. So I loaded up the No.2 Folding Autographic with a roll of Pan F...

Ystradfellte trip by Charlotte Davis, on Flickr A beautiful walk, even in cold weather. Taken at the cave at the beginning of the walk, on Portra 400, on a Bronica SQ-A. 50mm lens.

Sometimes it's just good to get out and finish off that roll of film... (Pentax 6x7 45mm f4, Pan F 50, stand processed 1hr Tetenal Paranol S 1:100, scanned and tweaked in LR) 1. Godalming across the river 2. Getting the obligatory B&W pylon shot out of the way early this year 2a. BTS 3...

From c.1946-53, my inherited Brownie Six-20 is still going strong. With 1/50 (or Bulb), f11 & 100mm with a minimum focus of ~8' being the only options, it certainly makes you think... and appreciate the exposure latitude of film (and carry a lightmeter ;) 1. 2. 3. *All Ilford Pan F 50...

About a year ago I was given a Lomo Cosmic Symbol. I've been having great fun with deliberately double-exposing film. Here are some examples of outings where things have turned out well: 1. Austria, Winter 1.1 1.2 2. London, Contemporary Dance 2.1 2.2 3. London, The Classic Car Boot Sale 3.1...

Hi everyone, I've just got my hands on a Rolleiflex camera, from searching online I believe it's a 1950s 3.5 X Synch. Although it's fully working, the viewfinder is a little on the dull side and the leatherette on the crank side of the camera is cracking and flaking off. I think it would...

Anybody have any idea why this might be happening? I recently procured a Contax RX film camera body, but when the battery is put in (no matter whether turned on or off) the camera starts making a continuous loud whirring sound. Occasionally (sporadically) it will stop and then start again for no...

I have a persistant itch. I'm currently satiating my love of film with a Bessa R3M, a Minox 35ML, a Noon pinhole and a couple of Fuji Instax cameras. But I've recently taken to looking at reviews of the Nikon F6. I know it's wrong but I can't seem to help myself. I was wondering if anyone...

Hello all ! Just joined today. I am based in Llandudno on the North Wales coast. Primarily work with film using my trusty Nikon F5, but also have a digital camera. Look forward to some interesting discussions. Cheers Lester

SOC being saab owners club. What with the mamiya RZ67 being my favourite camera, it almost always goes with me to events like these. Funnily enough, it garnered more attention than the cars. These were all shot on Rollei Retro 80S using the 65mm f4 and a yellow filter. Dev was D76 1+1 @ 20...

This is an old shot showing the demolition of the Methodist Church in Bridlington's Chapel Street, at the end of 2004. It was made on colour film in either an Eos 650 or an Eos 5 (I was running both at the time) through a Canon 28~135mm USM. By good luck, we visited the town while work paused...

Hi! I'm aware this question has probably been asked an absolute TON of times but I just wanted a direct answer instead of having to read through loads of threads and not actually finding what I need so, here I am. I was given a film camera with no knowledge of how to use it etc. (I've got the...

First results of my new camera, Olympus Mju III. Film is Kodak Colorplus, my favourite cheap film. :) Untitled by Ugur Ugurlu, on Flickr Untitled by Ugur Ugurlu, on Flickr Untitled by Ugur Ugurlu, on Flickr Ugurlu, on Flickr Untitled by Ugur Ugurlu, on Flickr

Hi all, firstly I am a newbie to Film Photography. I picked up an Olympus OM1 with a 50mm lens, I shot a roll of expired Fuji 200 + new Fuji 400 and left both in to my local shop to be developed with surprising outcomes. Roll 1 - EXPIRED 2012 Fuji 200: Contrast a bit of but generally not to bad...

Double exposure is one of the types that I like a lot when I shoot film. Here are some examples: #1 Untitled by Ugur Ugurlu, on Flickr Kodak Portra 400 #2 Untitled by Ugur Ugurlu, on Flickr Kodak Colorplus 200 #3 Untitled by Ugur Ugurlu, on Flickr Ilford Pan 400 Self developed

Shot this on 35mm pound land film... and without pointing out the obvious (its not shot in portrait) what do people think of this portrait of a man on the High Street?
