I bump this once a year and so it's that time again. Loads of good up to date info and a lot more classic film work shot on Leica M's and Rolleiflexes in Bangkok this year. Plus more detailed guides on specific places in Bangkok to shoot at, shops, trends and labs etc. Simply click on the link...

I bump this once a year as a lot of people read it every month and I am always updating it. The main page is still found here and is updated with what is currently going on every month or so. It's well worth a read if you want to know about shooting in Bangkok and there's lots of info for film...

'Cords are significantly lighter and when stopped down just a little they provide insanely good images. For travel, the light weight plus smaller amount of money invested into it might work out better (lighter to drag around all day and less heartache if you knock it about a bit by accident on...

There's a decent enough Kodak podcast that goes into detail on a lot of this stuff (there was a great one a while back about the 8mm reintroduction) called the Kodakery. As for this news re Ektachrome, I feel happy and generally positive about it. I wonder if this will make Fuji reconsider it's...

Will be fine

Freshly updated for 2017 with all that I have seen and experienced shooting film in Bangkok over the past year. Includes best places to go for gear, repairs, lenses, film buying and devving etc. Also a lot of info on current film trends here of late. I said I would come back after a year and...

Aaaah, Rolleiflex negs, like crack cocaine, you've gone and done it now! :smile: Welcome to the forum. Sometimes Rolleflexes that haven't had regular recent use will have film transport issues when they are used again but your statement about a recent CLA puts that to rest hopefully. Just...

Wow, frankly I'm amazed it took as long as it did to sell, congrats on the sale...I mean that sincerely to BOTH parties!

It's a bit 'how long is a a piece of string' really. Honestly, on a pro or semi pro bodied SLR from a good brand, they can last decades or more. I think I recall reading that there was once a German Nikon service centre that worked on an F5 with its original shutter that had gone 1 MILLION...

As a fellow Rolleiflex fan , and somebody who has been around the block a few times on dishonestly described Rolleis that then needed work, I just wanted to say that I really appreciated and enjoyed reading such an honest ad for a good clean, straight one from a decent, solid seller. Condition...

Oh yeah, absolutely... I quite agree. One of the reasons why I like to (mainly) use 100% mechanical, always repairable film cameras.

Bit late on this reply, anyway just wanted to add something seeing as it has risen up again....Don't forget that it will take a while to shoot candids and/or street with a TLR if you haven't done it before. There's a definite adjustment period required. Once you start to get more comfy it with...

You've made a good start Tanner, keep it up. Good choice of a camera as well.

Love the analogy to shooting. I quite agree. There's something just so much more rewarding about one shot, one kill with a manual film camera for me. In addition and to the original thread topic: I shoot film because I like to enjoy the 'old world craftsmanship' feel to the whole thing from...

Not at all, thanks for looking. One of the great things about this site is the ability to talk to others shooting real film and see real film photography from other parts of the world, where things can perhaps be very different from where you live.
