Reflex is the First New 35mm Manual SLR Camera Design in 25 Years
Say hello to Reflex, a new 35mm SLR camera that just launched on Kickstarter. It’s the first newly designed manual SLR system camera in over 25 years.
“Reflex is a modern update of the timeless manual SLR 35mm film camera,” the startup says. “Distinctive in its modular design, it combines contemporary mechanical and electrical engineering with the classic design of an analogue camera…”
The Reflex combines old, time-tested designs with exciting new ideas to create a brand new concept of what a manual film SLR can be for the modern generation of photographers.

Poundland sells film?
I was surprised to see Poundland in Catford selling 35mm Agfa film, Its a very good film, just like Agfa film used to be. It's a little green in the shadows pink in the highlights but as long as you dont underexpose and print on Full paper you should be fine. So stop moaning about how expensive classic phototography is, and go to Poundland and get that great camera out of the loft and start shooting!
You know film is best!

GIRL ON THE TRAIN
I saw a girl today on the train today using a beautiful Agfa film camera from about 1960.I asked her why she was shooting film? She said that the camera was her Grandmothers and She had always thought her grandmothers photographs were so amazing that she wanted to use her camera and film to get the same beautiful results. She said she still took pictures on her phone but she said only for "speed of posting". Great to see young people appreciating film photography. There is Hope!
