And finally, for a bit of fun I re-scanned the roll I took during on my stag night (read: bachelor party) with a Lomo LC-A. The lab could barely get a printable frame out of them, but my flatbed fared much better.

5 Frames With Far Too Much Alcohol (and a Lomo LC-A) - by Ken Hindle-May
I only started shooting film seriously in 2015, with my film-only Project 365, so rewind five years and what we find is a fairly naïve DSLR shooter who had two automatic film cameras for posing on Instagram with creative experimentation. So it was that in February of 2014 I embarked on my stag weekend (bachelor party, for those of an American disposition), thinking a Lomo LC-A and 200 speed film would be just perfect for a spot of low light, gonzo-style documentary shooting.
The biggest piece I wrote for Hamish, chronicling the Project 365 I shot entirely on film in 2015, which turned out to be a big year for me.

Surviving 365 Days on Film - by Ken Hindle-May
So, you've decided 2018 is the year you'll attempt a Project 365 exclusively on film. The first couple of days were no problem, with the holidays providing plenty of time and opportunity to get out there and shoot. But now you're back at work and, holy crap, are there really only seven hours of proper daylight this time of year? Don't despair. As film shooters, old digital P365 standbys like heavy Photoshop work and macro shots of household objects aren't so easy for us. But by thinking ahead, getting organised and not riding your luck too hard, you too can successfully document an entire year of your life on film, one day at a time. I know because I did it in 2015 and it was a transformational experience. I came into the year as someone with a couple of film cameras that I put a roll through every now and then. I ended it with a much deeper understanding of film and exposure, of composition and subject, and as for my camera collection...let's not get into that. My wife might read this one day.
Another review, this time of an Olympus Mju compact I bought at a car boot sale and flipped for a tidy profit:

Olympus Mju II Zoom 80 Panorama Review - by Ken Hindle-May
A Sunday morning. A tabletop sale. I’m looking at the champagne chassis of the zoom-lensed Olympus Mju II Zoom 80 Panorama. Sold.
Miranda A-X - Attack of the Clone - Guest Review by Ken Hindle-May
If you happen to see a Miranda A-X at a car boot, then it's probably worth a punt. You might get the fun 80s point & shoot the AF810 didn't turn out to be.
A nice piece on 35mmc by Andrea Monti on the urge (or lack thereof) many hobby and side-hustle photographers feel to buy pro-level gear that they don't really need. Underneath which I hold forth on gatekeeping in photography.

In praise of ‘cheap’ lenses for ‘pro’ works
I have recently discovered Viltrox. I am using the AF 85/1,8 II XF and the AF 56/1,4 XF and I am very satisfied by their performance.
I wrote a “5 frames with” about trying out the WP-Tech 100 short-rolls from 5 Below in my DIY repaired XA2. Check it out here: https://www.35mmc.com/27/12/2023/5-frames-with-wp-tech-100-and-a-repaired-xa2/

This was a fun excuse to try out some new respooled film from a chain store, test out my XA, and check out this interesting little graffiti shrine

Idee -> Fotografie -> Editing -> Dummy -> Druck: Wie entsteht ein "#Zine" oder auch "#Photozine", eine sehr persönliche Publikation, noch nicht ganz #Fotobuch, aber mehr als eine Broschüre? Der britische Fotograf Simon King beschreibt auf #35mmc, wie er und die anderen Fotografen der "New Exit Group" an der Publikation "BARDO: Summer of '20" gearbeitet haben:

"Bardo: Summer of '20" - a Photozine - by New Exit Group - 35mmc
I always told myself that my first publication would be representative of a large body of personal work, something only I could have produced after a few years of working on a project - all the stars would align, I would curate a coherent sequence, send to print, score a publishing deal, and then make a start on the next idea. Perhaps ambitious - after all, many photographers dream of such an arrangement - but I don't think it's too unrealistic a goal, especially as the work I've been producing for a while is specifically intended for sequenced, printed presentation.
