Ilford - not an area in Essex, a photographic company, founded in 1879 and providing black and white photographic paraphernalia ever since. This is an opinion on all Ilford's black and white still films, so, in iso film speed ascending order, let us begin: *PAN F PLUS This is a 50 iso film and my favorite of the lot. It has ultra fine grain, absolutely brilliant definition and a pretty good tonal range. I know it's not often that you find yourself ...
...charming film for still lifes, architecture and some punchy portraiture. A tripod is a must if you are using this in less than sparkling light, and enlarging from these negatives is so easy; The grain is tiny and shouldn't give you any problems up past 16x20 inches (do you need your pictures any bigger?). If you are looking for a cheap alternative to copying film, Pan F Plus will do the trick (remember though that the copying film is a little slower, ... Read review

...the transport noise from the tape. easily removed on the PC though. This camera has built in effects so you can merge films and perform transitions. i haven't used this feature much as i generaly use a PC. The camera has various preset options to film. In auto is normally fine but sometimes you just need those extra features. The camera has an accesory shoe for an extra light to be added its abot 60 quid though and a microphone.

...After a long time wondering about getting a small video camera to film my various cycling 'adventures', but being put off by the cost and size of many cameras, I hit upon the Actioncam ATC-2000 and immediately saw it as a solution I had been waiting for.

As most of us know, with traditional photography, we first have to buy the camera film that typically consists of 24 pictures and when we have taken all of our 24 snaps we have can then get our film developed at additional various cost depending on how soon we want the pictures to be developed. It took me literally days to decide on which camera to buy – I took time looking at the specifications and features of a number of cameras that were on the market at the time and eventually decided on the Kodak DC3400...
