I swear I know how to spool film
…but this time I just couldn’t make it work. When you develop Film it needs to be put in a plastic spool so there’s space between the layers of film and every piece of film gets in contact with the developer. I spent 45 minutes trying to spool some 120 film and then gave up […]

Testing yet another Konica FS-1
Some time ago I bought a bundle of untested cameras on eBay that included a Konica Autoreflex TC, a Konica FT-1, and two Konica FS-1 alongside some accessories like flashes and a 35-200mm zoom and macro lens! When everything arrived I got some batteries and tested the cameras. One of the two FS-1 had a […]

Random city shots
Sunday morning I walked a bit through the city with my Fujifilm X30 and shot these photos with a in-camera Portra 160 preset. I’m quite happy with the results. Have a great start into this 3 day week! ✨

Broken mirror selfies
Whenever I find a mirror on the street I just have to take some selfies. On todays photo walk I was lucky enough to find two broken mirrors and decided to snap a few shots with my Fujifilm X30. I quite like how they turned out!

Revue 6×6 aka Seagull 4a
I didn’t really plan on buying a new camera, but then the Revue 6×6 in seemingly good condition for a decent price was listed on eBay near me. So I contacted the seller, we agreed to meet so I could take a look at the camera and I was very positively surprised! The condition is […]

Using Konica AR lenses on my Canon EOS 1000D
The other day I found a Konica to EOS Adapter on eBay. I’ve wanted one of these for a while but wasn’t able to find one – either new or used, so I jumped on this one and contacted the seller. After a bit of bartering we agreed on 25 euro + shipping costs and […]

Meet the camera: Revue 400 SE
The other day I recieved my new old camera: A Revue 400 SE! It’s a rangefinder camera with full aperture automation, which means I can set a shutter speed and ISO and the camera will chose the aperture. The viewfinder shows a small square in which two images are shows that need to be aligned […]

Shooting 120 film on a camera from the 1930s
>inb4 the camera may be from the late 1930s or 1940s. I couldn’t figure this out, but the Zeiss Ikon Nettar was released in 1937 and it just sounds a lot better to say it’s a camera from the 1930s. So anyway, I bought a Zeiss Ikon Nettar for 10€ on eBay and loaded it […]

Easter in the park
Yesterday we spent Easter in the park, enjoying the sunny weather and some food. Of course I brought a camera, my Fujifilm X30. It’s my always-with-me camera and I managed to make time for a stroll through the park to take some photos. For all the photos I used my in-camera preset, they’re not edited […]
