Another X-Ray film shot of The Beast using my Graflex Speed Graphic and a Xerox bond machine lens. #believeinfilm #largeformat #dog #portrait

Bought some 500T 65mm film, slit it down, and rolled onto a 620 spool to try in my Duaflex III. I just love this emulsion and shooting it at medium format removes a lot of the grain. #believeinfilm #IMAXFilm #mediumformat #photography

Just gave @ilfordphoto.com harmon pheonix II a shot with the Minolta Autocord. I think I like it! #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #120film #mediumformat #photography

Busted out the Kodak No. 2A for #folderweek which I think is the oldest functional camera I own and managed to get this shot with some #35mm Kentmere 400. #beleiveinfilm

Modified a Polaroid 800 roll film camera to take 120 film! Here's the first roll. Trying to fine-tune how many turns per frame I need -- I think about 3ish turns per frame will give me 6ish shots per roll, was doing 3.5 and only got 5 frames on this roll. #believeinfilm #camerahacking #mediaformat

Picked up a Vivitar V2000 from the thrift store! Taken with expired Fuji Superia. #beleiveinfilm #photography #expiredfilm

Looks like I’ve managed to degrease this old Agfa Karat 35. Film is 500T developed in C-41 Bleach bypass. #believeinfilm #camerarepair #rangefinder #vintage #photography

Went to the Maryland Renaissance Faire a while back and took the Minolta Autocord. Shot on some Kodak Colorplus that may have been slightly expired -- got some wierd color casts from it. #beleiveinfilm #filmisnotdead #mediumformat

My C-41 Chems are very exhausted. Tried developing it for twice the listed time and got some crazy color shifts! Canon Dial 35 | Kodak Vision 3 500T #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #dogo #halfframe

Managed to fix my broken Windsor (Hong Kong made clone of the Diana) in a suitably #shittycamerachallenge way. Taken with 35mm Kentmere 400 (with the sprockets cropped out). #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #toycamera #blackandwhite #repair

It’s been a minute! It takes me so long to shoot through 36 frames! Here’s some dog-related selects from the first roll of Aristapan 100 I got at a steep discount from freestyle photo a while back! Shot on the K1000 SE #believeinfilm #blackandwhite #bw
