Film & Film Cameras

摘要

ONG GONE ARE the days when we could write separate articles about new film cameras, films, papers, and darkroom materials, but there was more than enough at photokina 2012 to justify a piece on all of them combined. Among the headlines for us were a new Rolleiflex TLR from DHW, successors to Franke & Heidecke; new 4x5" and 6x12cm cameras from Fotoman; Fotoman's old 617,624, and 810PS reintroduced; commemorative models from Linhof; a new 8x10" pinhole camera from Harman-Ilford-Walker; two new 11x14" cameras (Area-Swiss and Shen Hao); one new black-and-white film from Adox; a new novelty color film from the same source; very clever new chemistry packaging from Maco; a new direct-reversal printing material from Harman-Ilford; new products from The Impossible Project; a new enlarger, and new paper washers from Kienzle; even a new film/ paper processor from Jobo; and a new minilab, the Serengeti, for the African market (which is apparently still a growth market for silver halide). I mention the last only for completeness: check the website of AAA Imaging Solutions for details.
