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…

Shooting digital with restrictions
Years ago I became incredibly bored with digital photography, resulting in me putting down my cameras and only shooting photos on the go with my phone(s). Analog photography rekindled my love for photography and I’ve been on a roll (pun intended) since starting, producing a lot of photos and sharing them on my instagram, pixelfed…

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
After getting a development tank I got going with another roll of Agfa APX, this time the 400 ISO variant. This time I also tried my new camera: The Konica Big Mini! I got it cheap off eBay because the seller thought it was broken – which it isn’t. More on that in another post.…

Konica Big Mini
When I first started looking for point and shoot cameras, the Konica Big Mini (201) was always on top of the list, alongside the Yashica T4 and Olympus mju. All of these cameras usually sell in the range of 100-200 euro these days in okay condition, and up to 300 in good condition. It’s a…
