This camera is not able to make double exposures via a setting. Instead, you’ll have to set them up manually. When dry, examine the negatives. The film edges (rebates) should be clear, with legible frame numbers along the bottom. A correctly exposed and processed negative should have a full range of tones, with some parts almost clear (like the rebates) and other parts so dense you can only just read print through them. Handle your negatives by the edges only. I also love handing this camera over to couples and passing it around to the bridal party at weddings. Everyone has a ton of fun with it, and they take photos that they would never let me take — even after a couple beers.

A fantastic gift for a new film photographer to learn the basics of analogue photography, composition and exposure. If you’re a pixel peeper, the Harman Reusable Camera doesn’t have good image quality. But that’s actually my girlfriend’s favorite features about this camera. There is strong distortion closer to the edges of the lens. The edges also lose sharpness and exhibits some vignetting. That just means you have to place the subject in the center of the frame, and use the vignetting to draw attention inwards.What makes the Ilfocolor Rapid Retro stand out is its single-element lens combined with its surprisingly nice color film. The lens has pronounced vignetting and declining sharpness as you move away from the center — lending photos that distinct “retro” appeal — while the film is quite punchy and saturated, leaning toward warm hues and very pleasant contrast. The camera is a fab little machine: a fast shutter (1/120s) and a mid-range aperture (f/10) means that most subjects from 1m-infinity will be in focus from the wide-angle (31mm) lens. Monochrome-wise, the E-M10 Mark IV offers in-camera Monochrome picture modes, with the option to add colour tints as though you were using a physical filter. For images with a bit more pop, you can also use Olympus’s digital Art Filter modes in monochrome. Give images a bit more punch with the Dramatic Tone Art Filter, or add a bit of grain for a filmic effect – it’s all there to play with. It doesn’t stop there — the Lomochrome Purple features three swinging color gels that can be positioned over the flash to manipulate its output. Furthermore, the camera is fitted with a 31mm f/9 lens, which is anywhere from 1/3 to 2/3 of a stop faster than many other disposable camera lenses. The Harman reusable Camea is the only film camer that goes with me evdise. It’s lightweight, sime, and easily the most fun camera I’ve ever used.

The M11 Monchrom is expensive and mono only, but it’s an amazing machine. Image credit: Will Cheung While the disposable camera market is dominated by C-41 color film, there are a few options out there for those who prefer the monochrome aesthetic. One of them stands out above the rest: the Kodak Tri-X 400 Single Use Flash Camera. Attach a weighted film clip to the bottom end of the film with a developing tray under it for drips. Leave it to dry in a still, dust-free atmosphere. Drying can be speeded up by using a hair-dryer on a low setting, kept moving and about 30cm/1ft away from the shiny side of the film. Finishing upThere are better disposable cameras out there, but unless you want to shell out quite a bit more money for modest improvements that may ultimately make no difference at all, the Agfa Le Box 400 is the way to go. Best Disposable Camera for a Unique Look: Lomography Lomochrome Purple Simple Use While each chemical has its own features and attributes, for beginners, we recommend ILFOTEC DD-X as this will give you the 'best overall performance' with all our films and if you prefer to use a powder concentrate, then we would suggest ID-11.

We only sell one stop bath, ILFOSTOP. This is suitable for all our films and papers and, as it is a liquid concentrate, it is ideal for beginners. Nb. ILFORD SIMPLICTY Stop Bath contains pre-measured ILFOSTOP. Fixer Taking film photographs can be a long, and daunting process for many users. Pull out your light meter, change the settings, compose, manually focus, then take the shot. But this one is so simple. Point, shoot, profit If 28mm is too wide for you, then consider also the Ricoh GR IIIx. It’s essentially an identical camera that has a 40mm equivalent lens. You can read our full, in-depth review to learn more about it. There have been many times in my wedding photography career where I’ve struggled with creating perfectly sharp images. Praising sharpness and megapixels in imagery feels like an unending struggle. Some of my favorite photos have been good because they’re sharp — but many ‘technically bad’ photos are the best ones in my collection because of the emotion and life they captured. DxOmark would rate this camera dead last in sharpness — but that’s never been what this camera is about. What kind of film does the Harman Reusable Camera use? You now need to prepare the film for drying. Lift the film spiral out of the tank and pull the end of the film out of the spiral. Securely attach a wooden or plastic film clip to it (to get a tight grip you may have to double over the end of the film) and then hang the film from a hook or nail which should be at least 2 meters / 6ft 6in off the ground.We offer a range of photo chemicals from paper and film developers to stop bath, fixers, washaid, and toners. However, to process a film you will only need a film developer, stop bath and fixer. There isn’t anything particularly special about the Kodak FunSaver. No fancy features. No amazingly sharp lens. Nothing about it really stands out. And perhaps that’s what makes it an overall choice — it is simply exactly what you expect and works for almost everyone’s needs. Just like disposables, It renders skin beautifully, and the softness makes people’s skin look it’s best! The Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is an inexpensive, entry-level camera with monochrome options.
