Under the label Fujichrome, Fujifilm is still selling several types of slide film and one of those is Velvia 100. Let’s have a look at some pictures taken with this film under varying conditions.
Processing (E-6) and scanning (Noritsu) was done at urbanfilmlab in Germany.

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”. Rumors are this is expired Fuji Eterna 500, downrated to ISO125, but there is no way for me to verify that. What I did however, I bought two rolls of this film and here you can find some pictures from the first one.
Processing (ECN-2) and scanning was done at Silbersalz35 in Germany.

Analogue Adventures – Part 34: Kodak Pro Image 100

Kodak Pro Image 100

I thought I had already used all of Kodak’s color negative films still in production, but I somehow managed to miss out on the Pro Image 100. How does it compare to the readily available Gold 200 and the Portra 160? Let’s try to find out.
Processing (C-41) and scanning was done at urbanfilmlab in Germany, the pictures in this article are from one roll of film.

With the release of Sony’s first A7 series camera we saw a renaissance of many legacy lenses from “dead” mounts like Canon FD, Olympus OM, Minolta SR and several more. Because of flange focal distance issues these lenses often couldn’t be attached to modern DSLRs. And even if it was possible, it was a pain to use them on DSLRs, thanks to their matte screens being unsuitable for manual focus lenses.

Let’s have a look at the history of focusing aids in fullframe mirrorless cameras and who does it best.
