I have plenty of 35mm film cameras, and few medium format ones, in my slowly growing collection, but there was another format I wanted to try…110 film. Kodak introduced the 110 cartridge film in 1972…it was aimed at the amateur family snapshot kind of photographer. It is compact and very easy to load. However, the […]
A few months ago, we went along to a camera market which turned out to be packed with vintage cameras…and people! We were unable to get close to some of the popular tables as there were too many people…who said film photography was dead! But because I had a little money to spend (thanks footy […]
When we visited the Analogue Academy in Geelong to get some film developed, they had a little gang of Olympus XA cameras on display. I had been looking for a smaller vintage 35mm film camera for times when I didn’t want to take a big camera with me, and this looked to be the perfect […]
I have fallen back into the shopping rabbit hole that is eBay. But it isn’t just the treasures I am finding that is addictive…it is watching the parcel’s subsequent journey across the world until it lands in our post box.

I have been able to run some more films through my Yashica Mat-124G and this week, I finally got them processed and digitally scanned. I am absolutely loving using 120 film…although more expensive plus the fact you only get 12 shots, the quality and depth is so much more than the more well known 35mm […]
Recently, my mum kindly passed onto me two vintage cameras…a Kodak Box Brownie which belonged to my Nan, and an Agfa Synchro Box which belonged to my uncle…both who have now sadly passed away. Unfortunately, I can’t get film for the Box Brownie, but the Agfa is a medium format camera, taking B2 or the […]
Recently, my father in law kindly gave me his old cameras, one of which is a Zeiss Ikon Contina 1a…bought on the ship that he and my mother in law emigrated on back in 1957…. This particular model was made in Germany between 1954 and 1958 and is a solid, well made point and shoot […]
