You can find three articles from fellow film bloggers in this post. And a note to my readers, this will be the final entry in the series. I’ve been finding them incredibly difficult to put together, so I’ve made the choice to end this particular monthly feature. 35mmc – Pentax 645 – A Review of a Budget Medium FormatRead More →

35mmc – Nikon F4 Review – A Design Revolution If there is an iconic camera from the 1980s, the Nikon F4 certainly rates among them. This space age design is a radical departure for Nikon and shows the power of industrial design combined with a tonne of advancements made through the earlier decade. And while the F4 has long departed from my tool kit I can appreciate the design as does Robert Gulley who penned this excellent review of the F4! You can read the whole thing over at 35mmc.com!
