I've run both XP2 and HP5 through my Kodak Cresta, and it's a tough choice as to my favourite. I do love HP5s contrasts, but the fact you can develop XP2 with colour processing is a bonus not to be overlooked (especially when b&w processing tends to be more expensive)
I say give the XP2 a try for yourself 🙂
You get a human on the telephone who clearly wants it to be right for you. The scans I received were among the best I have experienced and I was kept informed as it went along.
Quite nice warm colours for the outdoors, especially at golden hour! Bright sunlight gave vibrant blue and green, lower light or my underexposed shots leaned more pink/red, I like the variety
I’ve always trusted AW for my 110 films. Very happy with the results especially ones from my expired rolls👍🏽🙏🏽
Since getting back into film photography only bought my film from Analogue Wonderland and got it developed here. Great service on both. Now to try some new film,
I sent a few rolls of expired films to be developed. Some didn't turn out but i was very pleased with the results of the ones that did. AW kindly gave me some refund for the blank rolls🙏🏽
Gold is fantastic bang for your buck film. It renders images nice and warm and reds pop. If you're just starting out this is what I recommend. A reasonable price and if you're finer grain than Ultramax at a lower cost. You just can't go wrong.
I sent off 3 rolls and they were all processed and scanned within a week! Couldn’t have asked for a better service and the photos were super easy to download and browse! Perfection!
Love the colours in the gold for a beginner like me. This was the first roll I had put through my new camera. Pictures were taken with an Olympus point and shoot and a Olympus OM-2
I am really pleased with the quick turnaround and the quality of the scans. We’ve tried a few different labs and this was the best experience by far. Will definitely be using AW’s services again.
A very unique warm tone that in the right conditions was really pleasing. I definitely wouldn't be shooting it at ISO 200 as the shadows just seem to fall right off, but shooting it at ISO 125 seemed to help with this while still keeping a warm and contrasty image.
It's probably not for everyone, and I think some cheaper stocks like Gold, Ultramax and ColorPlus probably have it beaten currently, but I can definitely see it's future potential and it's well worth shooting if you like more abstract and creative tones in your work!
Decided to load the film into a point and shoot, to see how it coped with a more basic camera, and took it out on a sunny day.
well I was suitably impressed by the pops of colour - especially the reds and green tones. Reminds me of album covers for some reason 😊
Film is king and Analogue Wonderland has helped me fall back in love with all of it. :) amazing prices, ease of delivery, chef's kiss!
I recently bought some 110 Lomography film and have just had it developed. The pictures are surprisingly good even though they were taken on a 1970s pocket Kodak. I tried both Lomography Tiger and Metropolis, prefer Tiger.
Based on other reviews I was expecting more halation and colour correction but the results I got were fantastic. I'm really happy and might save my other roll of this for my summer holiday as this film seems to look great in strong light.
I love this film, there is a fair amount of grain, but it’s super contrasty and produces some lovely photos. Seems to have a fair amount of exposure latitude and is quite forgiving for both over and under exposure
In early 2024 I found a number of my old 35mm and 120 cameras in a box in my garage. One of the 35mm cameras, a Pentax MV1, still had a film in it. Having failed to find any film processing companies locally, I contacted Analogue Wonderland (AW), who advised me that there may still be a chance of getting a result.
The film was successfully developed by AW. The pictures were taken in 1998 and 1999, so the film had been sitting in the camera for about 25 years (and it just seems like yesterday!). Well done AW.
First film I have shot in 20+ years. Read a lot of reviews before opting for the Ilford HP5+. I haven't been disappointed! Decided to push to the film to 1600. The film must be very forgiving as I was playing around with the aperture and shutter speeds during my walk. I love the heavy grain that are in all the photos, as well as the dark and moody vibes of some shots taken around Beamish museum.
Tmax 100 goodness! Bought from analogue wonderland and then developed by them! I no longer need look anywhere else for my film needs.
Im always really happy with the scans I receive from AW, other labs I have used in the past sent back smaller files which meant that the images weren’t as free to edit as they are coming from AW; I always get the most from the scans I receive. I also love the way the files are named on the site/app as it makes it easy to distinguish what film was used in each set of photos.
I really enjoyed shooting with this on my Canon Rebel! A really nice contrast on the mids, and doesn’t blow out as much on the highlights. Not so much detail in the shadows, but helps to create great silhouettes
As I've just bought an Adox Gold folding camera, it was only right that, for it's test roll, I loaded it with Adox film.
I'm happy to say that the camera performed flawlessly, as does the film. If you want that retro look of photos from the 1950's and 60's, why not give it a try!?
Gold will always be one of my favourites, especially in summer as I love the warmth it lends (that said it also does nicely on overcast days, but perhaps nothing too dark).
Ultramax is always my go-to; stunning colours year-round and in any setting!
Fantastic job, I’m very happy with the outcome!
