Did Agfa really name a camera after the shutter sound? Probably not. But that doesn't mean we should overlook the amazing Agfa Click II!

Has anyone got a spare black thumb screw/nut for the front standard/rise & fall of a 1947 or similar Anniversary Graflex Speed Graphic? I lost one a while ago and it grates me every time I see it missing 😭 #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

As attempting to file an HST return with the CRA using Quickbooks has me reduced to a babbling existential mess, here’s a photo that could have been taken in simpler times but was actually this summer.

A colour film photograph of the La Santidos Loca Tex Mex bar in Wigan. This was once Crofter's Pub and the red tiling is from that time in the life of this old building in Wigan town center. I believe it is proteced too so can't be removed. The old name above the door is all tiles and still exists under the current signs.

Color photo of a coastal landscape with hazy mountains, a golden sea, and a small house partly hidden by tall grasses in the foreground beneath a cloudy sky. The unnatural, heavily tinted color scheme gives the scene a surreal, vintage-film appearance, with warm pinkish-orange tones contrasting against cool blue-green vegetation.

Optical Review Blog No. 61 - Auto Miranda 1:2.8 f=35mm
Everyone needs a good 35mm lens, and the Miranda 35/2.8 is a solid option. Great balance between size and performance.
