It’s been 4 years now that I have returned to film photography. At first not full time, but later increasingly so.
What brought me back to it? Simple answer, the Fuji X100!
I bought this wonderful camera used on eBay and as soon as I shot my first frames I sold my Canon gear (an ageing EOS 300D and an EOS 400D and a fistful of lenses).Just some weeks after I realised that this camera reminded me of something… of the nice old film cameras. With it’s retro look, it’s retro ‘user interface’ it reminded me of the good old times when I shot my Canon AE-1 and my Nikon F….
And I took the plunge!
I bought an Olympus 35SP and a Canonet 28, both amazing cameras with great lenses and a great feel to them. The photos in this post are a tribute to that great, simple camera called Canonet 28 that brought me back to the real art of photography!
Unfortunately, the 35SP was full of fungus and I was never addicted to it, but the Canonet 28, the poor sibling of the Canonet 17 was just great and of course led to a buying spree of dozens of cameras in the following years.
And ultimately it led to my abandoning digital photography more than 2 years ago.
So thank you Fuji, and thank you Canon!
Thanks for reading!

Great photos and a nice camera!
Haha, that’s a funny spin on all this fuji obsession;-) I mean, I’ve been shooting film for about 5 years now and though I’m not going to abandon it I want an x100 too. Just to be my digital companion exactly because of the retro reasons and film simulation. So I wouldn’t feel too far away from the analogue side))

It’s a great camera, and I’d prefer the original X100 though it’s said to focus slowly. That never bothered me. The results were great, and I think better than the later versions with x-trans sensor. But that’s just a film guy talking…

Stock pics aren’t only unpleasant if you can make use of them in the right way. They can add more visually attractive and powerful content to your authoring. They take out several of the design and style or outsourced photography you may want to build into your financial budget. They are very prompt visual content remedies on the fly. And furthermore, every one our stock images are 100 cost-free – compare us out and distribute much more powerful content next time. You are encouraged!
