The grips on Nikon film cameras from the late 1990s can also go sticky. I clean them with pre injection pads impregnated with isopropyl alcohol (the specific ones I use are “OptiPro Pre-Injection ...

I used to think that Ford was a British company, along with Kodak, mostly because (apart from me being ten years old) Ford and Kodak did make their U.K. products here.  And obviously U.K. Ford ...

On UK eBay ((which is what I use) there are current four listed, from £499 to £549.  Sold, there are 19 listed, from £349 - £529.  Maybe it’s been less popular in the US (or maybe people are ...

A quick search on Google shows the P17 is being sold in Currys and Freemans, which are about as mainstream as you can get (in the U.K.) and it’s been getting good write ups in the non-photography ...

I would guess AW have a pretty good fit with people who are new to film - they use social media quite effectively and probably have a better footprint in that respect than lots of other shops / ...

I can’t remember it asking many questions collecting demographics (although tbh those things are normally taken to ensure you’re not getting a biased sample), it was more about the things that ...

Is there a consensus about high shutter count (but good condition)  D850s? I see a low shutter count second hand  D850s going for around £1500 in the U.K., and high shutter count ones (350k+) ...

The P17 is a lovely camera to use, the Rollei 35 AF (or at least the one I had for a short while) promised much but didn't deliver

In all the discussion of the Pentax 17 and TKO leaving Ricoh, Ricoh have said ( ...

It might be worth looking up the DX codes for some of those films ( https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4562970 ), it’s possible some of them are the same films in different packaging.I like ...

Kodakcolor-X is a C22 process film, which is now obsolete. If you send it to a lab to be developed as colour then my understanding is the more modern C41 process is too hot and the film emulsion ...

I would suggest that you’re probably not the target audience for the P17.  And an almost 50 year old medium format rangefinder is probably not the ideal first camera for the P17s target audience.

Maybe they thought a few thousand a month and they’re selling twice their expectation.  The Olympus Trip allegedly sold 7.5 - 10 million, and was one of the biggest selling cameras ever, but ...

If you’re bothered about what’s on it (and don’t mind spending money on getting it developed) then Film Rescue ( https://www.filmrescue.com ) would appear to be the best place.  If you want a ...

According to a PetaPixel interview they sold more than they expected to ( https://petapixel.com/2025/03/26/it-might-be-a-while-before-pentax-makes-another-film-camera/ ) ‘ Modern photographers ...

@Pete Charles that’s a good point. What people forget with “$/£/€ 500 is too expensive” is that there’s quite a few younger people buying Leica M6s and Hasselblad 500’s and pushing the prices up...

The Pentax 17 is still listed at its launch price about 9 months after launch, which I suspect isn’t true of any digital camera launched in the last 10 years other than the X100v and vi. If ...

Yes, that seemed to be the story on various websites.  I’ve not seen anything different, but I got the impression that they did intend to continue with film production

I’ve done quite a bit of testing various light meters using a calibrated light source and the L-758D and L-758DR are by far the most accurate, within 0.1 of a stop from 10 - 16 EV. It is ...

Is the shift between the IR image and the RGB image constant ? It might be possible to take an image scanned as 64 bits (48bit RGB and 16bit IR), shift the IR image to the right place and then do ...
