I have plenty of 35mm film cameras, and few medium format ones, in my slowly growing collection, but there was another format I wanted to try…110 film. Kodak introduced the 110 cartridge film in 1972…it was aimed at the amateur family snapshot kind of photographer. It is compact and very easy to load. However, the […]
Another year has roared to a close…seriously, how fast do the days fly, especially when on holidays! I don’t do New Year Resolutions but the last few years I have made a list of things I want to do in the months ahead. But to be honest, I don’t seem to have achieved many of […]
I love photography, and I love this amazing city that we live in, so when I was given the opportunity to do a review of a book which combines my two loves, I said yes immediately! A Snapshot of Melbourne is a collection of black and white photographs taken over a 26 year period by […]

Over the last few months, I have bought two vintage cameras from overseas and I […]
This little camera caught my eye when it appears on Film Never Die’s Instagram feed, and I was lucky enough to be able to borrow it for a few weeks. Borrowing it made me fall in love with it, so when I sadly had to give it back, I was quickly onto eBay to find […]
We love discovering places where we can indulge in our new found passion for film photography. One thing we have discovered about going retro when it comes to taking photos is the friendly community. In Melbourne, we often hang out at Film Never Die, talking all things film, drinking chai and making new friends. And […]
I have been able to run some more films through my Yashica Mat-124G and this week, I finally got them processed and digitally scanned. I am absolutely loving using 120 film…although more expensive plus the fact you only get 12 shots, the quality and depth is so much more than the more well known 35mm […]
