Agfa Record III

This is a German folding camera from the 1950s. It shoots 120 medium format film in 6x9 format. A very large piece of film shot using a very small and portable camera. This is the attraction of these...

Mamiya M645 Recent

Recent pictures taken with the Mamiya M645. The Mamiya M645 is the monster of the group. It requires a much more methodical approach and is easy to set wrong. I once took half a roll before...

Nokia 808 Pureview

More of a camera with a phone attached than a phone with a camera. It is not magic but it is extremely capable.
Fuji Velvia

Oh Velvia!
Probably the only film I would shoot if I could only get it processed here! So much has been said about this film that it is pointless me trying to add.
The world's favourite slide film...
Fuji Provia 100F

Pics taken with Fuji Provia 100F aka RDPIII
Fuji Astia 100F
17 photos
Some say this is the queen of all slide films. Some say it has the widest latitude and the truest colours. I will make up my own mind. I've only just started shooting it.
Kodak Ektachrome E100G
24 photos
This is a slide film from Kodak that advertises itself as having very fine grain and also capturing a lot of the palette of Kodachrome. Never having shot Kodachrome I cannot comment but having fallen...
Fuji 100 Negative Film
19 photos
This seems to be a middle eastern variety. It is the cheapest film and simply says "Fuji 100". It has a noticably thinner and more curl-prone base. It is somewhat grainy but the colours are...
Agfa 100

Agfa 100 negative film. A clearance sale find. I only have a few rolls.

This is one of those films that I always heard everyone else rave about but somehow I just never got around to trying myself. Well, just before I left for England this summer my friend, Khalifa, gave...
Fuji Pro 160S Recent
401 photos
This is a film I tried for the first time in South Africa. I only bought a couple of rolls but I really like what I see. It is not as fine grained as the Ektar but the colours are explosive in just...
Fuji Pro 160C Recent
19 photos
I actually bought this by mistake. I meant to be ordering Fuji Pro 160S. I got a pack of it in 120 size and it is allegedly expired.
Wow!
What I see looks terrific to me.
Fuji Superia 200
67 photos
This is one of a very few films currently stocked and available in Doha. I don't shoot it often but I used to a lot. I prefer the rendition of the Konica Minolta stock.

Fuji Pro 400H Recent
20 photos
This is a film I bought in Cape Town to try. I bought it in 120 size because my interest was in a faster film that would make the Mamiya easier to hand hold. So far I am very impressed. It seems to...
Fuji Superia 800
9 photos
Honestly, a roll was given to me. Typical Superia nice colours if a little grainy
Fuji Press 800
38 photos
I bought this film for indoor work without flash. I also thought it would be good to have some fast film for my pocket camera. So far I'm quite pleased with it. It seems, as the name implies, quite a...
Kodak Gold 200

Picked some of this up last summer in England. At least, that's where I think I got it... Fantastic stuff. Really much better than it has any right to be.
Kodak Gold 400
12 photos
Not a film I can get in town anymore but I bought a few rolls in South Africa.
Kodak Ultramax 400

A 400 ISO film. Still making up my mind about this one
Kodak Ektar 100
133 photos
This is the main film I used in South Africa. I bought twenty rolls of 35mm and twenty of 120 for the trip. I like it so far. It seems a dependable film. It has a different colour signature and...
Kodak Portra 160NC
19 photos
I bought a few rolls of this when I visited Brussells in February 2011. I love it for people but it also has a pastel-tinted palette that works for a lot of other subjects too.

My mainstay film for now in Qatar. I think I've bought up most of the stock in town.

122 photos
My goto low light film here in Doha. Some of this stock is still available locally but I'm not sure for how much longer.
Lomography X-Pro Slide 200
5 photos
This is allegedly a rebranding of Agfa RSX 200 slide film. It is a slide film but Lomography sell it as suitable for cross processing as well. Cross processing is when you develop in the wrong...
Lomography C41 400
21 photos
Lomography colour negative film. Pretty sure this is a rebadged Kodak film. Very similar to Portra 400.

Kodak Vision3 50D cinema film releived of its RemJet backing by the good Brothers Wright.
CineStill 500T/800T

New55

A bold recreation of the sort of black and white instant 4x5 film that the old Polaroid Type 55 was. It is a new development from Bob Crawly and his mad crew. I backed the devlopment on Kickstarter.

This is the scanner I had to use between losing access to the work Coolscan 9000ED and buying my own Coolscan 9000ED. It is a dedicated film scanner but a budget model. It has a sharp lens but a weak...

This scanner is just about the best that can be reasonably bought currently. Yes, you will probably get slightly higher technical image quality out of a Flextight. No, it will not match what a drum...
