While Nikon may have had the big photographic announcements at CES this year, in my opinion, the more exciting news came from Kodak. Yes, Kodak, remember them? Kodak announced that they’re creating a new super 8 film camera. The new camera and service will blend digital and film technologies, and seeks to capitalise on the analogue resurgence. As someone’s who’s shot Super 8 in the past, I for one am very excited about this.

I read some sad, but not entirely surprising news during the week. It seems that the company that makes Holga cameras is shutting down. I’m not hugely surprised by this. The Holga craze of a few years ago was pretty much killed by Instagram and the iPhone. I only noticed recently how many of the places that used to sell Holga cameras had stopped selling them (in lieu of Fuji Instax cameras). 

A while ago I wrote about my last attempt at shooting film when I was away on holiday in Nice. While I got some good shots that time I wan’t happy with the quality of the images, mainly because the film turned out to be expired. The last time I had shot some Kodak Portra, but this time I was shooting black and white with Fuji Neopan.
