Welcome to Between 2 Lenses: a collaboration between two people! Two perspectives, really! Each of us (Anna and Nick) bring a unique viewpoint to this endeavor. We want to share, in our own way, what we've learned from film photography. If you were to search film photography on YouTube, which we imagine you have, you'd... Continue Reading →
Disclaimer: This is not so much a lesson, as a journal entry in our film developing process. It was the first time we developed using household chemicals, so there's much for us to learn. Still, it is hoped that you gain something from this. Special thanks to Daniel Keating for sending this starter kit. -Nick... Continue Reading →
Earlier today Nick and I did a little experiment. We wanted to know if there really was a difference between the CineStill Df96 Monobath and the 4 step Ilford process. We did a fun little video that I will link below, but for those who like to read, this one is for you! 😉 Nick... Continue Reading →
The Canon EOS 650 was the first camera in the EOS line and used the EF lens mount. It's also the first SLR with an LCD interface I received. I say that because it was a gift (again: one of the best ways to lower the costs of film photography). After I was given the... Continue Reading →
This beauty is the Pentax 645! Created as an entry level camera for wedding photographers, it is a medium format single-lens reflex system camera. It was introduced in 1984, along with a complementary line of lenses. It captures images nominally 6 cm × 4.5 cm (hence the Pentax 645!) on 120, 220, and 70 mm... Continue Reading →
Analogue photography is not cheap. Let's start with that. If you, like us, intend to go through rolls of film like rolls of toilet paper in a four-person house, it's going to be pricey. That's a fact. After your first camera, you're bound to end up with several (especially if you know people with them).... Continue Reading →
Can you tell I have a cat!? The official Amazon listing had this labeled as the "Holga 120 WPC Panoramic Pin Hole Camera Wide Format Film Lomo Camera Black". A bit wordy for a 120 film panoramic pinhole camera, but that didn't stop me from clicking this beauty into my cart and to my house... Continue Reading →
Why take an hour to develop film when you can take instant pictures and have your image before you within minutes? This is the concept that made Polaroid a hit. Anna bought a Polaroid camera for my birthday back in August. The light green Polaroid Now camera is a lot of fun. In this review,... Continue Reading →
I have only ever worked with 35mm film and, aside from various sizes of polaroid films, this has been the only film size I have known. As we have been finding older cameras that take 620 film (which is no longer in production), I found that you can use medium format 120 film (Ilford PANF... Continue Reading →
When I bought this camera off Amazon, Twin Reflex didn't mean anything to me. But over the course of putting this kit together, I learned quite a bit. This is our review of the Holga Recesky Twin Reflex Camera. First thing! A Twin Reflex camera is one where there are two lenses, one for the... Continue Reading →
Garry Winogrand (1928-1984) For someone who disliked being called a street photographer, that is what Garry Winogrand is known for. He preferred the general title "Photographer." It allowed him to not be stuck to one type of photography. Garry worked to photograph life. He said: the true business of photography is to capture a bit... Continue Reading →
