Analog film photography and cameras

I thought it was the same film, as Impossible bought out the rights to the Polaroid name this year, and you can still see the Impossible name on some cartridges of the new Polaroid labelled film.

Oh man that's fucked up.

See so did I but the colours and tones on this stuff where terrible. It was 600 colour film btw.

Yup. Impossible initially bought Polaroid's machinery, then subsequently bought the name.
Impossible/Polaroid are now in the processing of suing Fuji for IP infringement - for using a white border around their Instax photos of all things.

Going to miss Fuji Superia 400 when it's (if, as predicted) discontinued. It's cheap, there's grain (but not too much), and saturated colours (but not overly so)

Is that in Berlin?

Many thanks guys : ) pretty happy with the result as I shot with a 400 iso film.

@tinaqino Yes it's a huge screen with electronic music, was cool.

It looks as if it's a Christmas market in the UK, Birmingham perhaps?

You are, as always, right.
Just seing now the price are in £ not Euros, but I swear the booths at Alexanderplatz in Berlin look just the same..

They were probably exported from Germany. (Is anything not exported from Germany these days?) A few years ago (actually, I think it's more than a decade ago) someone hit on the wheeze of putting on a German Christmas market in Birmingham, which was very successful, and it has apparently spread since.

Ah yes, just looked it up:

Birmingham will be renamed Frankfurt next and all the banks will move there from London. You heard it here first.

You seem to have missed "AttilaMerkel".

Wasn't that before the variations on tinakino? If so, it's ancient history. :)

It is indeed, well spotted. Where Brummies chow down on foot long sausages for the whole of December

Have you looked at (...) mamiya universal?

You know what I have just been looking into these as they're so lovely.
Ha, great cameras. Can't really see myself shooting-, nor schlepping one of these around as they're half my weight probably.
I first saw the picture on wikipedia where it looks somewhat compact, but later realized these are actuallly bigger than a fucking RB67!

So, after a massive hiatus, I started taking pictures again this week. All on Leica M6 and 35mm Summicron. Ilford HP5 in DD-x and scanned on an Epson V500. Dusty scans are dusty (any tips for minimising this welcome!) but isn't film great?

Great tones.

Regarding the dust I used to use antistatic cloths but nowadays I just try to keep my work area nice and clean and if there's some specks of dust I just use Photoshop's spot healing tool to be honest.

Cheers, it bothers me a lot less once sized for the web to be honest. Will give the antistatic cloth and maybe a blower a go on the next batch!

Will play around with the spot removal in lightroom too as that may be the easiest solution.

I've got a koni omega rapid 200 and although its bigger and heavier then my minolta autocord, i prefer to walk around with the koni because it's much more ergonomic and easy to handle.
