Analog or film photographer, huge enlarged prints, tons of detail, crazy good dynamic range in black and white or full colour. I mess around with film (analog) because it has a certain look that I really like, it also scans into huge files, way bigger than my pro digi body stuff can handle and when I really want large file I use one of my medium format analog (film) camera like the Rolleiflex or Mamiya RB76 for amazing colour and black and white prints. Below are some random photos shot in film, analog in either 135mm (35mm) or 6×6 and 6×7 medium format film and most are manual cameras meaning both exposure (shutter speed and aperture) and focus are all done by the shooter, me, fun, wow!

Large Format Film Camera - Calgary Photographer

Calumet 4×5 Large Format Film Camera Black & White – Voigtlander R3M

Still messing around with film and loving it! This shot is with my Voigtlander R3m and Kodak Tmax 400 film + the one sharp Leica 75mm lens shot wide open. There is nothing like the tones and dynamic range of black and white film, especially Tmax film :) Self developed in the basement washroom with Ilford DDX.

Nude Photography Calgary – Black & White Film

There is really something about film that make my jaw drop. The highlight and shadow detail are amazing. This nude photo was taken with natural window light streaming in and a large format film camera, a vintage 4×5 Calumet that I really should post in the gear section.

Nikon FM 35mm Film Camera & MD-11 Winder

Nikon FM 35mm Film Camera & MD-11 Winder

I believe this 35mm Nikon FM camera came out in 1977, its a tank with all manual settings for shutter speed, aperture and of course manual focusing. I picked it up today with three lenses (attached is the 50mm f/2) a bunch of filters, two flashes, cases, MD-11 power winder (attached to camera in photo) and a 90 degree view finder, the DR-2 is seen in the foreground. Cant wait to load it up with some film…
