Great film for my Holga

This film picked out the high-contrast detail in bright conditions on my Holga 120N.

Great film for my Holga

This film took some high-contrast pictures with my Holga 120N with some great grain, particularly in those parts of the picture that are sky.

Simply Lovely 😻

Honestly I cannot thank AW for the community they have built, the stellar services they offer & the genuine dedication everyone involved has to the craft of film photography!
It took my stumbling upon AW to reignite what I thought was an extinguished flame for film. Since much of this hobby had sadly left a high street dweller & dependant, such as myself, to shelf his cameras & full stocks for the foreseeable… I can honestly say that AW’s whole development process is a one of a kind breath of fresh air!
I often have imposter syndrome now too when I receive my developments back, as the scanning & correction they offer rings me renewed confidence in my abilities too!
I’ve included a couple samples most recently, and hope that anyone on the fence needs to try out the joy that development through AW can bring!

Mostly impressed

This was the first film I shot with a newly acquired Olympus Trip, so my somewhat mixed feelings about this film may be attributed in part to my inexperience with the camera. Very pleased with about half of the roll, disappointed with the rest. In the right lighting conditions, very nice contrast. Didn't do so well in bright sunlight, as you might expect from a relatively fast film. Overall, pleased enough to try the film again at some point soon!

Fujifilm

I've never used Fujifilm before so I was pleasantly surprised with how many came back okay. Some did come back very blue and some odd but I'm hoping that's because it's expired film.

Excellent quality service

Fantastic service, really great developing of my first time amateur pinhole shots. Will definitely use again.

Marie 800t C41 develop and high res scan.

Takes a while but we'll worth it. I've never had any issues with the quality of the developed images or scans. Also from experience they are a good staff with excellent customer service and are keen to help.

Fujichrome Sensia

This was a very old film found in my son's camera. It could have been 20 years old so I didn't expect great results. I got what I expected. It was the last film he took before he died so it is of great sentimental value to your family. I found the website poor for finding my scans and came upon them by accident. I am being generous giving you four stars.

My go-to colour film

The title says it all plus a reasonable cost if bought in bulk

More Solid Gold - probably the most unoriginal title ever...

Good solid (there's that word again...) colour film that works for me and should for you.....

Ah so that's what all the fuss is about!

Having seen a lot of people rave about Kodak Gold being 'excellent especially for the money', I knew it was worth a try. It did not disappoint! Very easy and good colour response, more forgiving with lighting than I expected too. Perfect for an affordable option to keep your camera loaded at all times. Great film!

Foma 200 - Cheap, reliable, grainy, nostalgic - a winner!

I bought three rolls of Fomapan Creative 200 from AW to use in my Nikon FM for some coastal photography here in the north east of England. I'm happy with the results, and the price of this film makes it a great deal. The grainy images it produces have the 'old-fashioned' look that I was hoping to achieve. This film might lack some of the punch, clarity and contrast of higher end products, but it's reliable, does the job well, and produces a images that have a nostalgic look that I enjoy. Will definitely use again.

Quality light meter

Well made and accurate light meter. Easy to set up and looks good on my old Voightlander Vito CLR.q

4928 Fukkatsu110 film

Rather disappointed with scans of this film, the grain is acceptable but poor contrast and detail let it down. Majority of frames also have a line of overexposure down r/hand side which could be camera fault. B&W in110 format doesn't really seem to work for me.

FP4 first try.

After mainly using HP5, with the longer brighter days coming on I decided to try FP4. I’ve really been impressed with the finer grained results with an impressive exposure latitude, very pleased, I’m going to order some more.

Nice job on Tri-X

Lovely work from the Wondies on some of that old Tri-X.

Tri-X stands the test of time

Still a great film for the grittier look.

Tones come up better with a bit of help in post.

Lots of personality j

Loved shooting with this film, has a great crunchy grain which will give your low light / night time shooting a lot of personality.

AnalogHeld Film Case - 3 x 35mm
Jane (Barbican, GB)
For three unboxed films - exactly

This is a simple box with a shaped hard-foam insert so it holds three 35mm films. You have to take the films out of their boxes.
It's fine for this purpose, and that's how it's intended to be used. The films fit snugly and the lid is reassuringly firm to put on and take off.
There's wording on the bottom of the box in English, German, Spanish, Chinese, French and Russian saying "precious (un)exposed film / no x-rays / please inspect manually", together with some pictures with the same message.
So that's all good.
The box is exactly the right size for the three films: there's no extra space.
I like to keep the tag from the end of the film box to put in the frame on my camera body.
And I need somewhere to store my film record sheet.
Even though both of these items are small, trying to fit them into the box, as well as the films, is problematic.
So I may end up removing the nice foam insert which would be a pity, or adjusting it in some way.

Ilford Pan F Plus - 35mm Film
Michele W. (Didcot, GB)
Perfect for: Landscapes, Architecture, Creative/Abstract
Accreditation Handles: @michele.warren.75
Super sharp but needs care

This was my first roll of Pan F and perhaps I should have heeded the warnings about contrast a bit better! The low ISO tempted me into taking it out in bright sun, but in some high contrast scenes I should have thought more carefully about where and how to meter to avoid losing detail in the highlights. Some came out more like pen & ink drawings, which is not necessarily a failure, of course. Where I did judge it better, the detail was fantastic for 35mm, and lovely deep blacks were certainly available. I'll try it again sometime but with more thought on what I'm trying to achieve.

Excellent service with personal touch

I put a film in a camera that I hadn’t used in 45 years, so just wanted to know if it was still working. Analog wonderworld was the ideal place to test it. After the film had been developed, I requested some feedback asking if everything is okay with my camera. Someone got back to me, after reviewing my photos, telling me that everything is okay. It’s just brilliant, that there’s a personal touch to sending your films away, not some automated film processing service.I can highly recommend their film development
