Analogue Adventures – Part 36: Silbersalz35 125T Edition Vivid
Silbersalz35 125T Edition Vivid 500Silbersalz35 is mainly famous for their repacked Kodak Vision3 Cine films, but every now and then they also sell this “Edition Vivid 500 125T Vintage Cinefilm”.

What I did however, I bought two rolls of this film and here you can find some pictures from the first one.

Analogue Adventures – Part 33: Harman Phoenix 200
This Harman Phoenix 200 is said to be a newly designed colour negative analogue film that hit the market in early 2024. Many people did not expect anyone except for Kodak and Fuji even being able to produce a (new) color negative film, so it created quite the buzz.
