Welcome to the First Edition of The Sunday Film Roll… my weekly rummage through what’s happening in film photography.
No major new Trip 35 headlines this week, but plenty happening elsewhere in the analogue world. And we start rather close to home…
⚫ ILFORD HAS MADE A SPECIAL DELTA 400
British film maker Ilford has released a very limited Delta 400 Professional Collector’s Edition in 35mm.
This isn’t simply ordinary Delta in a posh black box. The emulsion remains Delta 400, but it’s been coated onto a clearer base with anti-halation protection, which Ilford says can improve shadow detail, scanning, sharpness and dynamic range.
Same ISO 400. Same processing times. Slightly different results.
And, naturally, an all-black cassette and box that somebody somewhere will refuse to open because it’s “collectible”. 😁
UK retailer Analogue Wonderland currently has it on pre-order at £13.95, with delivery expected towards the end of September.

🎞️ AN OLD FAVOURITE GETS ANOTHER LOOK — EKTAR 100
PetaPixel’s latest Film Friday turns its attention to Kodak Ektar 100 — certainly not a new film, but still one of the more distinctive colour stocks available.
ISO 100, exceptionally fine grain, punchy saturation and bags of detail make it particularly suited to travel, landscape and colourful outdoor photography. Kodak itself describes Ektar as its ultra-vivid, finest-grain colour negative film.
And yes… ISO 100 works perfectly happily in a Trip 35. 😉
With autumn colour approaching, perhaps this is rather good timing.

Kodak’s film information:
📸 FILM ISN’T JUST BEING BOUGHT… PEOPLE ARE LEARNING HOW TO USE IT
Something less headline-grabbing caught my eye this week.
A beginner Film Photography 101 course took place in Altrincham on Friday, covering everything from loading and rewinding film to exposure, focusing and development.
Meanwhile, Photofusion in London is part-way through a sold-out September course teaching photographers to shoot, process and darkroom-print their own black-and-white film.
Neither is going to trouble the evening news, but I think they’re quite telling.
The analogue revival isn’t simply people buying old cameras because they look nice on Instagram. There are people who genuinely want to learn how photography works.
And I rather like that. ❤️

🏈 AND FILM IS TURNING UP IN SOME UNEXPECTED PLACES…
A rather lovely gallery appeared this week documenting an American college football game — Georgia Tech v Tennessee — entirely on 35mm film, shot from the sidelines using Portra 800 and Lomography 800.
There’s something about sport on film that feels very different from today’s thousands-of-frames-per-game digital coverage.
You don’t quite know what you’ve got until afterwards.
Sound familiar? 😁

🎞️ That’s this week’s Sunday Film Roll.
So here’s today’s question:
If I handed you one free roll of film right now, what would you choose — colour or black & white… and what would you photograph with it?
Camera choice allowed too, obviously. 📸👇
Have A Nice Trip
