The day my camera skipped half a roll
It’s a sunny cloudy day and I’ve decided to take a walk through the neighbourhood to get away from my computer screen and finish a roll of film. I already took 18 shots the day before, so with “only” 18 left I felt like I could quite easily finish the roll and develop it the […]

Fomapan 400 developed in Caffenol
I’m hooked. Developing film at home is so exciting. After my experiment of shooting Fomapan 400 @ ISO 200 didn’t work out well (maybe because I light leaked the film a bit 😅), this experiment was a full blown success. Beside a few images that were underexposed all photos turned out great, and I’m truly […]

Update on the Konica Big Mini
If you follow my Instagram you may already seen it: The Big Mini is malfunctioning and rewound two films into the canister after one shot. I took the camera apart to have a look at the inside, and as I first assumed the connection cable between the backside and the frontside is broken. Lucky for […]

Caffenol #2

The film was damaged in the process because I didn’t use a development tank, but more on that later! I used the following formula: 40g instant coffee powder 56g washing soda 16g Vitamin C […]

First images with the Konica Autoreflex T4
I just got back the negatives from the lab and scanned them at home, Images are great and I’m super happy with the results. Will definitely use this camera again.

Konica Autoreflex T4
The other day I bought this „for parts“ Konica Autoreflex T4 off eBay, mainly because I wanted the 50mm f1.4 lens it came with. I paid 28€ + 4€ shipping and the lens looks super good so far, I’ll get out testing it as soon as I can. After some looking around the internet I […]
