This year I'm using a different film format each month, starting with the smallest and working my way up through the sizes. In December I'm using the largest format camera in my collection, which is the No. 3A Autographic Kodak. This camera is around 100 years old and uses the obsolete 122 size rollfilm, also known as "Postcard Format". The image size is 85 x 140 mm. In the absence of 122 flm, I decided to use photographic paper, which has an ISO of around 3, meaning that exposures need to be quite long, about 10 seconds in this case.

This year I'm using a different film format each month, starting with the smallest and working my way up through the sizes. The format for November is Polaroid SX-70, which has a slightly larger image area than last month's 6x9cm 120 format.
This was taken with a Polaroid 1000 camera (known as Polaroid Onestep in the US), it uses SX-70 film, which is once more available, having been revived by The Impossible Project a few years ago.

Taken with a Zeiss Ikon Nettar 515.
This year I'm using a different film format each month, starting with the smallest and working my way up through the sizes. The format for October is 120 roll film. This long established film is still readily available, there are three commonly used formats, allowing 8, 12 or 16 shots per roll, this one takes 16. Two consecutive frames of Rollei Retro 400S black and white negative film which expired in 2017 having been inadvertently kept in a warm room. There is a lot of mottling and offset of backing paper markings as a result. A red filter was used, so the blue sky is rendered very dark.
Developed in Rodinal 1:50 for 22 mins at 20 degrees.

This year I'm using a different film format each month, starting with the smallest and working my way up through the sizes. The format for September is 127 roll film which was introduced in 1912. Narrower than 120 film, it allowed for smaller more pocketable cameras to be made, perhaps most famously the Kodak VP (Vest Pocket) also known as the soldiers' camera because many of them were used during the First World War (1914-18). Today only a small number of films are available in 127, but it could have been worse, ten years ago it looked as if the format was finished forever.
This was taken with an Ihagee Parvola camera which was made in Germany in the early 1930s.
The film is Rollei Nightbird redscale film, which I re-rolled to revert it to "normal" film. Developed in the Tetenal C41 kit.

This year I'm using a different film format each month, starting with the smallest and working my way up through the sizes. The format for August is 35mm, probably the most widely used format in the 20th century. This one was taken with a Canon AE-1 camera using expired Orwo NP20 black and white film, developed in Rodinal 1:50 for 10 mins at 20 degrees.
