Medium Format Film Cameras

On shootingfilm.net a post by Hkanh Hmoong features a series of famous medium format film cameras.

Only to mention two of the cameras presented on this blog there is the Rolleiflex 2.8F twin lens camera. It is a TLR (twin lens reflex system). A classic for portrait and action photography. The camera has been built in Germany right after world war II in 1949.

The second one to mention is the Mamiya RZ67. This is a medium format single lens reflex camera. The first model has been released in 1982 but the camera was built until later than 2004.

Red Poppy - Medium Format Photography

Here to share one of my medium format, 6x6 cm Fujichrome Velvia 50 film photographs.

A beautiful field with flowers of red poppy back lit in the evening sun.

The image was captured using a Hasselblad 500 c/m camera with a 80 mm f2.8 Planar T* lens, both from 1976.

Making analog film

Have you ever wondered how black and white film is being made. Watch this video from the Ilford factory.

While some of the classic film are still manufactured niche manufacturers are producing special unique film.

A recent project is CineStill Film which brings motion picture film to the still photography format.

While a couple of 35 mm film are available CineStill is missing 120 medium format film. In order to do so CineStill Film is running a crowd funding campaign to raise capital for the production of respective medium format roll film.

If you are interested in medium format film photography become a contributor to back CineStill's film production. Many already invested. So did I. Help to make this rolls of film available.
