Half a million orders: order #500,000 is on us

By Paul McKay

Today, Analogue Wonderland hits half a million orders. Eight and a half years after we started, we're just a few orders away from order #500,000, and whoever places it gets that order refunded (up to £250). Here's how to be in with a chance, and a big thank you.

 


 

Half a million orders in eight and a half years

 

We are currently at 499-thousand-and-something orders in the Analogue Wonderland system. So at some point today we are going to hit the half a million mark 🤯

I can't quite believe how much you guys have put the trust in us over the past eight and a half years. Thank you so much for your support!! Myself and Mary are totally thrilled (see the photo at the top 😂)

And here's where it all began:

Packing our very first orders on the living-room floor, May 2018. Half a million orders later, we've (just about) got a bit more space.

 

 


 

Win your order: order #500,000 is on us

 

So here's the fun bit. Place a normal order through the website or app: film, 120, cameras, lab developing, whatever you want. Whoever hits that magic 500,000, we will refund that order. It'll be free for you, and we might even add a little bit extra in there as well.

If you had on your to-do list at any point soon (buying your film or getting something developed), I would do it now and cross your fingers that you get that magic order 🤞

 


 

The small print

 

The customer who places order #500,000 on our website or app gets their order refunded, up to £250. Normal paid orders only. One order refunded. We'll contact the customer by email.

 


 

I'll be making a bigger look-back video soon, because this is an amazing milestone. Good luck, and thanks as always for your support!

Happy Shooting!

Paul, Mary and the AW team

CineStill 800T at Night: The Bright Lights of Luxembourg's Funfair

Shooting film at night can feel like a leap of faith, which is exactly what CineStill 800T was made for. Our Analogue Adventurer Masha had been saving a roll in her fridge for the perfect moment, and Luxembourg's enormous Schueberfouer funfair turned out to be it! She also slipped in a few frames of Kodak 800 for a fun comparison. Let's see how she got on after dark...
