Lazarim is a town in the municipality of Lamego, which is located 12 kilometers from the city of Lamego. It has around 500 inhabitants, but during Shrovetide the floating population far exceeds this number. Considered one of the most traditional carnivals in Portugal, its origins are lost in time. The real ex libris of this... The post Shrovetide in Lazarim appeared first on 35mmc ..read more

I have taken film cameras on holiday before. Normally small, plastic ones that fit comfortably in my pocket and will allow me to take a couple of pictures of nothing in particular. This year, as my love for film photography has grown deeper, I decided to be more thoughtful. Armed with my delightfully chunky Canon...

Looking at the weather forecast has been a depressing activity so far this year. As I write this, the sky is overcast and everything looks grey and dull. There is a chance of about 1.5 sunny days later in the week. We shall see. Last Sunday was one of those days that were supposed to...

I recently started spending more time with the portrait photography community at university, which heavily intersected with the sustainable fashion community. As a result, I had the chance to attend and shoot some fashion shows centered around circular fashion. At first, I was excited at the opportunity. Then, it occurred to me that fashion shows...

C-mount lenses are the tiny optical jewels worn on the fronts of classic 16mm movie cameras. Their minuscule 17.526mm separation between the camera’s mounting flange and film plane makes them largely unsuitable to adapt to (D)SLRs. But many mirrorless cameras have nearly identical specs. Searching 35MMC and the wider web, you’ll discover that Micro Four... The post Adventures in C-Mount Macro Land appeared first on 35mmc ..read more

My first foray into the world of TLR cameras was back in the early 1980’s, courtesy of a brand new Lubitel. I bought it from an old fashioned camera shop on Oldham Street in Manchester. I worked in a shop a few doors away, and would haunt the camera shop or peer into the window...

Back in the early 90s, when I became acquainted to Minox 8×11 cameras, I also started to get an interest in 16mm / 110 film photography. To this day, I still believe they belong to the same general niche, the subminiature photography, with Minox 8×11 being the “ultraminiature format”, for the sake of the argument....

In the early days of the pandemic I purchased a Mamiya 7 kit from an old timer at a reasonable price. This had long been a dream camera of mine and I had been searching for one year after year waiting for “the right price.” In a disappointing turn the 80mm lens was a write...

I read Hamish’s recent review in 35mmc of the new Pentax 17 half frame 35mm camera with interest being an inveterate user of film nowadays. In fact, it stirred in me feelings about producing a photographic image buried deep in my psyche. I have long felt that the photographic image produced digitally is so different...
