The ONDU Pinhole Film Camera Just Got Better!
Great news film photographers! ONDO is gearing up for it's 3rd generation of cameras and the improvements they're planning look INCREDIBLE! Many of you will have seen that here at Analogue Wonderland we already have some of the earlier models kicking around and *disclaimer* we love them - so let's take some time to go through what the next round of pinhole wizardry will hold.
The Launch of Jelly Film - The Newest 35mm from Dubble!
Happy Birthday Dubble Film! We are thrilled to announce the latest in the Dubble Film range - a gorgeous colourful emulsion that will sweep your images in hues from across the rainbow. For this special extended Birthday Blog we will spend a bit of time asking Adam about the Dubble Film journey so far as well as the inspiration for the new film. Enjoy!
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.
Moonstruck 35mm Dubble Film - The Birthday Celebrations Continue
We return to our conversations with Adam from Dubble to discuss the second emulsion that he created: Moonstruck 35mm. This was released at the same time as Sunstroke on the 31st October 2017 (read yesterday's article all about Sunstroke here) so is coming up to it's 1 year birthday along with the Dubble Film company itself. A very different film to Sunstroke, let's explore where it came from.

Revolog Film Interview - An Exploration of Colour
What a treat! A conversation with two of our favourite Austrians in the whole world: the dynamic duo behind revolog films. revolog was one of the first brands to merge colour effects and exceptional branding to build a loyal fanbase of photographers. We sit down with Hanna and Michael to understand a little bit more about what drives them to invest so much time and energy into film photography and specifically what inspired revolog. The answers are fascinating!
The Launch of WonderPoints: Analogue Film Loyalty Program
This weekend we launched our loyalty program! From the 8th Sept our customers can earn WonderPoints by spending money on film, sharing us on social media, referring friends or by writing product reviews. These Wonderpoints can then be redeemed for money-off in-store, driving down the cost of film for our repeat customers. This plan has been in the works for several weeks so we wanted to share a bit of extra perspective - why this is so important to us and what we hope it drives for the future of the community.
