In late 2021 I decided to buy an analogue camera and shoot some film, an experiment whose results I constantly shared with you. In the meantime I exposed around 60 films, which I all had developed and scanned and many of these pictures we also discussed afterwards. This is is already the 50th part of this series, so I thought it might be time for an interim conclusion.

Keep in mind I am only talking about 35mm film here.

Analogue Photography: Part 6 – Kodak Gold 200

Saab 35 Draken – a light single-engine supersonic interceptor and fighter aircraft

After finishing a roll of Kodak ColorPlus 200, I decided to try another Kodak classic: Kodak Gold 200.

The film was developed by bildskanning.com, and digitized using a Valoi easy120 system and TTArtisan 100mm macro 2X. The scans were then processed in Negative Lab Pro.

With this roll in the camera, I set out to explore two very different museums.

The first was the Flygvapenmuseum, (The Swedish Air Force Museum).

The Focke-Wulf Fw 44 Stieglitz , mid 1920s
Finnish Air Force biplane, Gloster Gladiator
Saab 17 – reconnaissance dive-bomber aircraft of the 1940s

Hexar RF

Released in 1999, the Konica Hexar RF is the most advanced analogue M-mount rangefinder camera ever made, far surpassing the Minolta CLE and all of Leica’s analogue cameras that came after. Let’s have a closer look!

Analogue, Color Negative, Review

Analogue Photography: Part 5 – Kodak ColorPlus 200 at Nostalgic Car Show

Update January 12, 2026:
After the first publication, several people noted that the colours were off, so I reworked the colour conversion for all the images.
This time I used the Negative Lab Pro software for conversion.
What you see now are the updated versions.

Introduction

In my previous articles, I explored two of the most classic and iconic black-and-white films: Kodak Tri-X and Ilford HP5 Plus. Now I turn my eye to a classic colour negative stock — Kodak ColorPlus 200.

This film is said to be based on an older emulsion technology, one tracing back to the 1970s and 1980s (Kodacolor II / Kodacolor VR). That actually makes it older than Kodak Gold, which many already consider to have a vintage look. So this one should offer an even more vintage feel. Let’s have a look at the images.

Tübingen is a nice town about 40 km south of Stuttgart in southern Germany. If you are a regular reader you will surely have come across pictures taken there in one of my reviews. This time I was only using a film camera and various films from the golden to the blue hour.
