Once I laid eyes on that offer on eBay I was instantly stunned. There was a slide film of Ilford. The British film producer came out with their own branded color transparencies? I made sure to win the bunch and tried the Ilford Dia 200 myself. One of the reasons I liked it is because it used the German name for slidefilm: Dia.

The history of film production must be as confusing and incestuous as the web of royal relationships of the European kingdoms in the 17th century up to the 19th. Back in the days, a German noble becomes the Russian Czaress, French lords became kings of Spain, and even the Danish were ruling all of Scandinavia. A marriage here, a war elsewhere, a coup d'etat everywhere - such a mess. Nothing was like it seemed and you could never trust what you were told. And with the Scotch Super Chrome 100 it’s history repeating itself.

I kept on manipulating 35mm films. Read on after the jump to find out what I've made use of this time around.

Keeping your eyes peeled for mini exhibitions around your workplace or school can pay dividends from an analogue perspective.

Choosing to stick with analogue photography is a conscious decision of mine. Chances are, I have a film camera with me even for a short trip to the shops just in case I stumble onto something interesting – which I did.

Found film rolls are always exciting, but even more fun when they turn out to be half-a-century old and yield wonderfully nostalgic holiday snapshots from the South of France, featuring cute kids with straw hats.

There's an analogue voyeur inside all of us and we just know you guys love to see camera porn. The Lomography Magazine's new "Show Your Stash" series features the essential gear and gizmos film photographers carry in their bag. Up first is Paris-based Community member, @mikahsupageek!

A perfect combination between a camera and a film doesn’t necessarily mean the team gets on well. Nevertheless, this one I’m writing about goes beyond a team concept and makes it a true love story that started years ago and had its revival by summer 2012: the last Electro 35 series + first Samsung’s Corporation film adventure.

It’s the original encounters, which unfolds the most energy and evokes the strongest feelings! There's nothing quite like finding a film that has its own secrets and leaves you guessing. Such is the Kodak Vericolor Slide Film, a sensation in blue and black.

Let me tell you about having a play with an old Kodak Colourburst 50 after some second-hand shopping.

It is an explorer in the morning, a hunter at night. Provia 400X, a Power slide film that does it all.

I shot some 52 year old (!) film and got some decent results, but it took a bit of planning. Read about it.

If you want to inject some ‘color’ to your black and white photos or simply to turn a really dull photo into something more interesting, try this idea.

It was a kind of film swap with the past.

I use Lomo cameras from the beginning of the 90s, before the birth of LSI. But for many years, I seldom used these cameras, and in these rare times, I used my LC-A or my Lubitel 166U in a classic way (classic black and white or color photography, classic composition, fresh films). My first 100% lomographic use of my camera was with a film expired for many years. Take a look!

The expired Fuji Superia 200 100 film is a reliable film that produces earthy and vintage-looking photos. But wait, there's more! On random occasions, this film will wow you with unpredictable magenta and pink hues to your photos! And also, don't forget those funky sprocket holes!

110 film is hard to come by these days (except for the lovely film made by LOMO) and sometimes ya just gotta run whatcha brung.

In 2010 the last commercial lab processing Kodak Kodachrome films was closed. Since then you have to be creative to get this film developed. This tipster will show you how to process Kodak Kodachrome on your own to get some beautiful, monochromatic, and blueish results!

You would either love it, hate it, or even be scared of it! For the uncertainty expired film can give is always a big surprise for us Lomographers!

Redscale XR 50-200 35mm film is a favourite of Lomographers all over the world. But what do you do when you've run out of your stash? Just DIY your own expired roll, load it into an automatic camera, and get varying color shifts and effects!
