Hasselblad Zeiss Planar 110mm f2
I saw on an online auction site the sale of a Hasselblad Zeiss Planar 110mm f2 lens. It was being sold by a German seller and the price they were asking for it was much less than the Japanese dealers. However, there was a reason for the low price. This lens is stuck wide open … Continue reading Hasselblad Zeiss Planar 110mm f2 →
Ilford XP2
I said I would test out Ilford XP2 C41 film cross processed in E6 and this is what I discovered. Apart from marking up the film going to the lab that this C41 film was to be processed in E6, I wanted to check with them that I wasn’t going to mess up their chemicals … Continue reading Ilford XP2 →
The only camera on you
I was just looking back at the files on my computer and sometimes the only camera on you is your smartphone. If that is what you have and you see a shot then you should take it.
Fujichrome PROVIA 100F Professional
My final film review is the Fujichrome Provia 100F Professional transparency slide film. Anyone following along will know that I purchased some expired rolls of this film to practise and test the cameras on. I may have been lucky with the expired film I got as I have not seen any noticeable loss in quality. … Continue reading Fujichrome PROVIA 100F Professional →
Fujichrome Velvia 100 Professional
From the research I have done it seems that using Velvia is not the best option for skin tones but I wanted to see for myself. I mean what is the point of testing unless you know for yourself what something can or can’t do. For this roll of film I also shot some frames … Continue reading Fujichrome Velvia 100 Professional →

Kodak Professional Ektachrome Film E100
The journey to discover my favourite E6 transparency slide film starts with the most expensive, Kodak Professional Ektachrome E100. A quick search about films results in plenty of comparisons of what is available. But these results mean that I will be relying on how others are using the films and not the exact way I … Continue reading Kodak Professional Ektachrome Film E100 →
Hasselblad 2000 FC
A few weeks ago I had no idea what the Hasselblad V system consisted of. I knew the 500 series are the iconic cameras that everyone recognises. What I didn’t know was the existence of the 2000 and 200 series with their focal plane shutters. So what does this mean? Well, in the 500 series … Continue reading Hasselblad 2000 FC →
First roll of film – part 2
I got my first roll of film back from the lab. And as you can see, I also got myself a cheap A3 LED light box. Glad that there are no light leaks in the camera which was my main worry. My other worry was how the expired film would behave. It has done quite … Continue reading First roll of film – part 2 →
Profoto Air with a Hasselblad 500C/M
I was trying to figure out the best way to make my Profoto B10 units work with my Hasselblad 500C/M. I have a Profoto Air remote dedicated for my Nikon cameras and PocketWizard remotes to fire my flash units. The PocketWizard Plus III has a 3.5mm mini jack socket so getting a mini jack to … Continue reading Profoto Air with a Hasselblad 500C/M →
