Happy new year! 2021 has been off to an interesting start, so we figured why not start it with not just film, but a whole bl**dy camera? After all, if there’s a good way to get someone you know interested in film, why not the Harman Reusable camera? A simple plastic point and shoot that,…

Winter is coming. It’s getting dark sooner. Without the high ISO capabilities of digital sensors, what or how will we ever shoot in low light without having to spend a million dollars for a fast lens? Enter Kodak’s T-Max P 3200. Quite the drastic jump from T-Max 400. Don’t let the name fool you, the…

A lot of people may not have heard of Kodak ProImage 100. Kodak only started marketing it in North America and Europe about 2 years ago, but the truth is, it’s been around longer than that. It is only sold by Kodak in 5 packs (although we do sell single rolls!) and the packaging has…

Those that know Meghan and I know that we have what appears to be an on going camera acquisition problem.
