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!
I really liked using this film when the sun was going down and also at twilight when there was still enough daylight but also tungsten lighting. Once night fell, there was quite a strong green cast, as this is daylight film. I could have used a filter, but I wanted to see what this looked like as it was, shot at box speed of 800
This is a relatively inexpensive colour film. The first time I used it was in good spring light. I was impressed by the warm tones that suited the location well. I used it alongside Portra 400 and see little to no obvious differences in the images.
I’ve since bought a couple of rolls to see how it holds up in typical UK weather.
I love HP5+. This film produces good images when rated anywhere between 200 and 6400 iso. I particularly like the look when rated at 1600 and pushed 2 stops. Contrasty and not too much grain.
I was obviously nervous and doubting my first films ever. Every dealing with AW has been exemplary. Love the box with pre-printed labels. Convenience is King!
Super happy with my results
I sent my Harman Phoenix back from whence it came for developing. It was a no brainer to send it to Analogue Wonderland as they helped the folks at Harman dial in the scan settings for this brand new film. Analogue Wonderland did a great job of it and will be getting more Harman Phoenix from me for processing.
The exposure latitude of hp5+ means I feel it’s very forgiving of my slapdash approach to metering when shooting. Good value for money all rounder film. I also recently developed a roll at home using caffenol for the first time and it turned out better than expected.
The film I got was lovely to shoot, the service was good! (and reliable).
Definitely using here as my developing place
My go to black and white film. I'd consider myself an amatuer, all I use is a little automatic point and shoot, but the results with this film are great. Would recomend.
Easier to handle and vastly more economical than Fibre papers, this paper benefits from wash times of about 5-10 minutes compared to 1 hour for Fibre papers.
Such a great service. They checked regularly. And my photos came out great! I’m learning from scratch and this site is just a huge help when learning.
Affordable but in no way inferior to other brands. One of my most often used films in both 120 and 35mm format.
Very happy with the colour tones and the hands-on customer service. Feels like you are actually valued!. The box with free delivery labels in a nice touch as well
