Curious, but not sure where to start? We've got you covered!
What camera suits you best? Cameras come in all shapes and sizes! Consider the size of camera you are comfortable using: 35mm SLRs have great versatility and are generally not intrusively large; Compact/point ’n’ shoot cameras are great for travel or always having a camera with you; Medium Format and Large Format cameras provide great detail and quality, but may be heavy or take up a lot of space.
Which film is right for you? When it comes to film, this choice can have more impact than digital shooting.
Different film stocks have different visual properties (grain, contrast, tonal/color range, color rendition, etc). You may prefer the look of black & white over color, or visa versa. (If you’re unsure, or want the option of either, then keep in mind that shooting color and digitally converting to black & white is an option, just like digital!)
Does your love for analog run deep? We've got just the thing!
Processing your own film can be a daunting prospect, but once you get past the initial investment, it can be much cheaper than using a lab. Plus, you get to develop your film whenever you want, no waiting, and you can experiment with things like pushing and pulling as much as you want to for the same cost.We've got the equipment and chemistries you need for all your home dev needs!
