The Alfie BOXX: a paper-reversal box camera that develops its own prints
Hands on with the Alfie BOXX, a new box camera from Alfie Cameras designed specifically for black and white paper reversal. Compose on ground glass, expose onto photographic paper, then develop the print inside the film holder itself. No darkroom needed. Here is what it is, what it is like to shoot, and what the prints actually look like.
Paper reversal in a churchyard with a 1905 Cooke lens
Back to shooting black and white paper reversal after more than a year off, with the Stenopeika Caronte 4x5 and a Taylor-Hobson Cooke Series III from around 1905. Eighteen sheets, a hazy old lens, and an honest look at what came out.
Farewell to the Bronica ETRS
One last shoot with a camera I have loved, before it heads to a new owner in Australia. Self-portraits on Kentmere 200 and Lomography Potsdam in my garage studio, with the Bronica ETRS that has never let me down.
