Today, the directory includes exhibitors who show a mix of film and digital and exhibitors who only occasionally show film, as well as exhibitors who show 16mm or other small gauge film but not 35mm. Since 2013, we have been cataloging exhibitors of analog film.
Also, though AGFA no longer produces film, Rollei now owns their formulas for both film and developers, and though I have yet to shoot Rollei film, that fact alone makes it tempting (especially since AGFA RSX 50 was my all time favorite film stock).Directory of Analog Film Exhibitors: Project Description Im a bit surprised Ilford was left off the list, especially since they produce not only 35mm and 120, but also 4x5 and 8x10, both of which are offered in very limited film stocks (fuji, kodak, and Arista being the only ones I can think of off the top of my head). It always seems a bit gimmicky and I have never really been impressed with the quality of anything they make (though I know that quality in a traditional sense may not be their goal.) As for Impossible, I was very excited when I heard about them, especially given that they are the only company I am aware of making type 55 instant film, but unfortunately the film is way more than I want to pay for the hit or miss quality of their film. Honestly, though "popular" I have never been a big fan of "lomography" for anything other than playing around with. You can find most models for a great deal, so dust your camera off, get out of the house, and create something great! If you don't own a film camera, but after this article are inspired to buy one, check out eBay, thrift stores, and your local camera shops. Kodak, the always reliable and classic brand everyone can trust, still produces all the forms of film you remember, along with dark room supplies for those who desire to develop their film. Kodak film is by far the best price-wise if you aren't sure the film life is for you and want to test the waters. I would buy a couple of Kodak beauties and work up to the pricier options. Fuji will still be making its 35mm, 120, and of course, its insanely popular Instax Film, which rivals the Impossible Project film with far better quality and consistency, but leaves you with the downside of having to purchase a new Instax camera, as their Instant film is not compatible with the old Polaroid models. While they have been working on the color developing times and consistency, I would encourage users to read the instructions to get the best results.įujifilm can be easily bought anywhere, including your hometown camera shop, although with the recent news of Fuji discontinuing its FP-100C film, it's making it harder for photographers to get film for the Polaroid Land Cameras. After taking a shot, you need to place it in a dark place for 20-30 minutes. They turned around the business, bringing it back into the mainstream by creating packs that still work with many of the old Polaroid models. Users should exercise caution when using the film as it isn't the same formula you might remember growing up. Impossible purchased the machines from Polaroid when they decided to cease making instant film.
Impossible Project is the frontrunner in the Polaroid world. Lomo is also truly spectacular by having a film dropoff service making it seamless for photographers to shoot and develop with ease. They supply all types of creative cameras: wooden pinholes, sprocket 35mm, and bodies that quickly switch between an instant back and a 120 back. Lomography is by far the leading provider for creative film options, with everything ranging from Lomo Chrome Purple film, giving your images that out-of-this-world appearance, to the more traditional 120 and 35mm color and black and white options. Lomo is also a great start if you don't have an older film body.
