Nice to see a couple of my photos from the Clare Remembrance parade on Sunday in the Suffolk Free Press this week. I emailed them early in the week and hadn't heard anything back, so I wasn't sure if they'd even received them.

Fujifilm X-T2 mirrorless camera, 50-230mm lens.

They'll not win any awards, but at least I know my Rolleiflex is working correctly again. Couple of shots using the Rolleinar 1 close-up attachment too. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Damn my impatience! I went to dev the roll of Tri-x I shot in my Rolleiflex yesterday and realised I was out of developer. Mixed up some cafenol, but the negatives came out so thin that you could barely even see the edge markings! I could see small parts of each frame, so the camera is working. Grrr

Walking down Petty Cury in Cambridge on the way back to the park & ride bus and I hear someone say "Nice camera!" (I heard that a lot today). I was about to say thanks when I realised the guy was carrying a Widelux! 😂 We had a little chat. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Oh dear, Campkins Cameras! 120mm? 🙄 #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Just got back from picking my Rolleiflex up from the Rolleiflex Wizard! He had to replace some kind of arm and a small spring. It feels like a new camera! 😍 The film advance/cocking is so smooth now! I can't wait to try it out over the weekend. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

If anyone is looking for a medium format camera, my friend Aga is selling this Bronica ETRSi:

I was approached at a classic car meet yesterday about selling some of my shots of some of the cars there. I went to develop the rolls today... Blank, bar the edge markings. Rolleiflex off to see the Rollei Wizard again soon then 😭 #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

I finally got round to developing the roll of Kentmere 100 in 120 that I shot at the Norwich meetup I went to recently.

Rolleiflex 2.8e
Kentmere ISO 100 (120)
Godox AD200 strobe into a Godox lantern softbox (I believe)
Ilford ID-11

Where would people recommend for getting say 4 cut rolls of film scanned at a decent resolution, at a decent price and a decent timeframe? UK recommendations #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Picked up a Polaroid SX70 Sonar and accessories from a friend today. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Blimey, SX70 film is rather tricky to get hold of! The B&W version doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere :( I hope they're not going to discontinue it! #BelieveInFilm #InstantFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Happy worldwide photography day. A way to observe. A way to create. A way to escape. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice no

I attended a film photography meetup in Norwich with the Shoot Film Norwich group today. Lots of chats and some photos made. @peterlangman.bsky.social brought a flash and softbox along, which was cool to use with my Rolleiflex #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

That's the stoma supplies refreshed for the next couple of months or so. Bags, elastic tape strips, dry wipes, wet wipes, adhesive remover, disposal bags and some hand sanitiser. #BowelCancer #Stoma #Ostomy

Looking to send some small prints that I've made to people in the post. Mostly 5x7 prints. What are people using to protect prints when sending them? #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Phone 'scans' of a few images from the West Suffolk Classics 2025 event yesterday. Kentmere 100 in my Rolleiflex 2.8e. A couple using Rolleinar close-up attachments. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

I thought I'd broken my Rolleiflex after just a couple of rolls though it. Turns out that if you select a slow shutter speed (like 1/30th) whilst having say f/22 selected and then move to wider aperture, the shutter speed won't let you go any faster than 1/30th until you go to f/22 again. Capish?

Well, I guess it is mirrorless in a way... Poor attention to detail saying it's got a 35mm lens, when it clearly states 25mm on it. Do better, Argos 🙄😂 #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice
July 27, 2025 at 8:28 AM
Ahhhh, that's better! I got to make a contact sheet of the roll from last weekend's photowalk organised by Martin of @photowalkme.bsky.social and a 3 shots from the day before. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Rolleiflex is definitely working nicely! I developed a roll of Kodak Tri-x 120 from yesterday, did quick inversions in Snapseed and I'm liking what I see, including some images with Rolleinar close-up attachments. #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

I messed up with timings today and missed the photowalk I was supposed to be going to in London today, but I managed to go on another one after seeing a friend's Instagram story. Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon with like-minded film photography geeks :) #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

She's back and she's raring to go! Stopped off and took some photos at this lovely little church on my way back home from picking her up from repair. #Rolleiflex #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice

Looking forward to getting my Rolleiflex back from the Rolleiflex wizard. It developed a fault a while back and I put it to one side and kept putting it off. Dropped it to him less than a week ago and it's fixed 😍 #BelieveInFilm #ShootFilmBeNice
