Up for donation is this Canon TLB film camera. One of the most basic film cameras around, but robust and reliable. Great for beginners or to have an all mechanical film camera around.

1/500 shutter speed, Canon 50mm f/1.8 Super Coating lens. Film Tested. Light meter works. Comes with a roll of Kodak 400 color film.

$5 donation puts your name in a hat to receive the camera. Each $5 donation = One (1) entry. 100% of funds raised gets donated to Carolina Ab*rtion Fund. One individual picked to receive the camera (in a couple weeks?).

I think I have to legally say this is not a lottery, it is a donation drive with a thank-you gift 😁

With film becoming more and more expensive, we thought we would share one tip with you about getting more mileage out of your film. In case you didn't know, some film camera models shoot half of a 35mm frame. That means for a 24 exposure roll, you get 48 photos, or for a 36 exposure roll, you get 72. Of course, that means each photo is a little lower "resolution", but it's a good way to make your dollar stretch farther!

Half frame models:
Olympus Pen EE-2
Canon Demi
Olympus Pen F..and many others!

If you see a half frame model for a good price, consider picking it up!

We are sorry if this causes any inconvenience, but we just can't run full steam ahead right now!

This is something I don't really advertise, but running the film lab can really only happen in between my other standard full-time job, life, etc. And last month was insane in all the ways- personal things, family things, career things.

I wish the film lab could be my full-time job, but it's not, so that means I have to squeeze it in in the wee hours of some evenings and weekends.

I absolutely understand if you can't wait that long for your film, and I wouldn't blame you if you chose another lab. I personally love if you're looking for an alternative.

Thanks for hanging in this long!

Whew, we've got a busy Monday ahead of us! 📸
Thank you for all of your patience as we've been a little bit behind recently. But don't worry, your film is in good hands!

New year, new opportunities to try new film stock! 🎞️
Are you currently shooting anything you're excited about? Is there a film you can't wait to try?
Over the past month or so, we were excited to shoot some new (to us) film, including Astrum Foto 100 B+W and some Vision3 cinema film.
What's in your camera??

Before -> After Saturday film stuff 🎞️

Yes, it's supposed to be our day off, but we wanted to get caught up on some orders for next week. Of course we're always grateful to be able to work with film, and that you all trust us with your photos ❤️📸
