Black Friday: Film Photography Deals at Analogue Wonderland! - Analogue Wonderland

Black Friday: Film Photography Deals at Analogue Wonderland!

A couple of weeks ago we asked the community what they'd like us to do for Black Friday 2018 and the answers fell into two broad camps:

  1. Mystery box! With rare/expired/random films as a bit of fun to try new things
  2. Bulk deals for people who frequently buy the same stocks to get consistent results and would appreciate some help in making that more affordable in the build-up to Christmas

Rather than choose between these two great ideas, we've decided to do both! Learn more by reading the full blog.

Bubblegum 35mm Film - Dubble's Sweetest Film So Far!

The final regular interview covering Dubble's current (!) range, we talk to Adam about Bubblegum. This film was introduced to the world in March 2018, at the same time as Monsoon and 6 months into the Dubble journey. A very different look and feel to all of the emulsions that went before, let's understand what inspired these sweet tints and colours.

Monsoon 35mm Film - Looking Back at Dubble's First Range Expansion

It was approximately 6 months into their first year of existence and Dubble Films had already built a great reputation for consistent and interesting creative films. But they weren't satisfied with 'just' their first two emulsions: Sunstroke and Moonstruck. Instead they wanted to continue pushing the boundaries with new and more complex tints to help film photographers create cracking images. And so two new films were conceived, developed and released into the world. Let's start with Monsoon.
