Lomography has just released a reloadable point-and-shoot camera that uses 35mm film. No, this isn’t 1983, don’t worry, we haven’t invented the time machine… yet. But Lomo wants to take older ones among us on a trip down memory lane, and reintroduce film photography to the youngsters. And at the price of $22, it’s cheaper than a roll of film!
Watch: The first ISS moon transition ever captured on 35mm film
Photographer Jason De Freitas has shown us a fantastic lunar eclipse sequence and a timelapse of the Milky Way. What’s special about these projects is that they were shot entirely on 35mm film.
Now Jason has done it again. Using his film camera and a telescope, he shot what seems to be the Holy Grail of astrophotography lately: the ISS transitioning the moon. What’s more, it’s probably the first ISS transit captured on 35mm, ever!
Photographer shoots total lunar eclipse timelapse entirely on film
Just last week, those based in the US and South America witnessed a total lunar eclipse, the last one until 2025. Many photographers took the opportunity for some great shots, and Jason De Freitas took it to the next level. He shot the entire eclipse on 35mm film. And then – he developed it and turned the photos into an epic timelapse.
NBC reports on film resurrection and shoots the story entirely on film
After the digital boom that changed the world of photography forever, it looks like film is making a comeback. Over the last few years, we’ve seen the birth of new films and the rebirth of old ones, as well as announcements of new film cameras.
NBC Nightly News recently covered the rising interest in film photography, and they did it in the only way that does his story justice – they shot it entirely on film. It doesn’t only add to the story itself, but it brings back the feel and the magic of film that many of us remember from childhood or youth.
Leica could announce another film camera in October. Yes, October 2022
Rumor has it that Leica is about to announce yet another 35mm film camera next month. And yes, we’re living in 2022, you didn’t accidentally walk into a time machine. If you still enjoy shooting film, then you’ll be happy to know that the upcoming model should be far more affordable than the $20k limited edition M-A “Titan” introduced earlier this year.
Leica announces a $20,000 35mm film camera… Yes, it’s 2022
Leica has announced a new, limited edition version of its M-A camera. The Leica M-A “Titan” is the existing M-A dressed in new clothes, and like other Leica’s limited edition pieces – it’s pretty expensive. It will set you back nearly $20k, but there’s something different about it compared to the more recent limited-edition models.
Unlike the more recent limited-edition cameras from Leica, there’s something different about this one – it’s a film camera. Yup, Leica has re-introduced a film camera in 2022 and priced it at nearly $20k.
Dubblefilm has launched their new 35mm CINEMA film, repurposed from actual movie film
Dubblefilm has announced its newest film stock. Called dubblefilm CINEMA iso800, this colour negative film comes in standard 36-exposure rolls. It’s priced at $19, €18 or £16 depending on where you are in the world and uses the C-41 development process. The company says that while dubblefilm CINEMA is available for sale, it is still a work in process.
It’s essentially repurposed movie film with the protective remjet layer removed to make it more useful for 35mm stills photographers. It has “epic colours, “insane tones at night, halo effect around bright red lights and a bluish tone in daylight”. It sure seems pretty wild.
This guy 3D printed his own analogue 35mm movie camera and it actually works
We’ve seen – and featured – a lot of film cameras here on DIYP. Everything from 35mm, through medium format and even up to large format, not to mention more pinholes than we can count. But those cameras are usually of the stills variety. Cameras for photography. This one, though, from Yuta Ikeya is a little different. This one is for shooting movies, with 35mm film stock.
You don’t normally think of 3D printing as being a good use for such complex camera systems, and while that’s true to a degree, modern technology allows a few workarounds to overcome potential issues. Like using an Arduino to control the timing of a DC motor to drive a mechanically synchronised gear and cam system instead of more traditional methods of ancient cinema cameras.
