We don’t get much snow round these parts, so it was definitely fun trying to figure out what film to take when we did. This was a reasonably easy walk up onto a lowly hill – Moel Faban – but one that provides ample rewards for little effort. I needed some landscape shots of the […]

We’re putting the band back together… ‘Joliet’ Jake Blues And here they are. The first three film cameras I owned…. Sort of as unfortunately there’s only one of my cameras that’s from the original line up left standing, and that’s the Praktica MTL5 , the others I’ve picked up on eBay.. The still standing MTL5

What’s the most recent arrivals at Turning Analog HQ? Or what’s in the box, my kids ask innocently, while I immediately think of the closing scenes of SE7EN. There will be nothing quite so gruesome in these posts. Konica FC-1 and a Hexanon 28mm f/3.5 lens. I bought this as I already had a Hexanon
