Previously, I got into the Konica SLR lens as they are cheap and plentiful. The only Konica SLR that I had, FT-1, wasn’t that great of a camera, so I shot only on the Olympus XA2. Over the years, I obtained more Konica SLR bodies (always came with a nice lens), but none of them […]
I was a poor graduate student and wanted to buy some sharp lenses. In 2017, I was shooting with a Sony NEX-6 paired with only an excellent Zeiss 32mm lens and a decent Sigma Art 19mm lens. Mirrorless cameras, especially full frame, are dominating the photography world. I enjoyed both of the lenses I owned, […]

I decided that Go Pro is too mainstream and expensive for one session, while disposable camera gave such crappy results […]

My favourite camera brand makes film! (incoming)
Someone told me this is not even the cheapest crappy film by Kodak – that honors go to Kodak Color Plus 200. No matter – there are no bad film in 202X. Consumer and professional grade films just render things differently these days, and you can only blade the camera. With that said, I would […]
Evil company (Fujifilm) wouldn’t release ISO 800 color film in the rest of the world. (but they have them for Instax…) Someone also mentioned this film is color corrected for Asian skin tone (yellow). I’m not sure if any of them are true, but I know Superia Venus 800 can only be found in Japan, […]
