In this episode I shoot images with one of the best selling cameras of all time: the Kodak Instamatic! I talk about the history of the 126 format introduced by Kodak, talking about the advantages of the format, the type of cameras made for 126, and the two cartridges of expired 126 film I shot and the images they produced. 

I also give some shoutouts to the On The Streets Photography podcast, Antony's wonderful @myinstantimages Instagram feed and Dave's The Old Camera Guy channel on YouTube.

In this twelfth episode of Matt Loves Cameras, I review a rolled gold classic: the Polaroid SX-70. Is this the most revolutionary, iconic camera of all time?

This episode covers the background of Edwin Land, a brief history of Polaroid Corporation, the development of instant cameras and film throughout the 1940s, 50s, 60s and 70s, why this camera and its film are so iconic, and a description of the images I shot for this episode. I love Polaroid photos!

In episode 11 of Matt Loves Cameras I discuss shooting three different film stocks on two point and shoots while on holiday in Indonesia. The big question... what will I take next time I travel overseas? I still haven't worked that out yet! 

I also talk about Rolf Dobelli's excellent book The art of the good life and an article I recently wrote for Digital Photography School: The Best Fujifilm X-Series Kits for Travel Photography.

In episode 10 of Matt Loves Cameras I review one of the SMALLEST 35mm cameras ever made! It's not the Rollei 35, it's not the Olympus XA or the Olympus MJU II / Stylus Epic, it's not even a Minox, though it's very closely related to a Minox! Enter the Voigtlander Vito C!

I love the images I've captured with this camera and will continue to use this lovely little camera. Marshall Dalmatian makes a most unwelcome podcast debut halfway through this episode.

Do you like shooting expired film? Do you have a big expired film stash? I would estimate about 25% of the film in my fridge is expired, including several packs of peel apart instant film FP100-C, lots of Instax Wide, some Impossible Project film and some old Kodak transparency film from the last 20-30 years.
 
In this episode of Matt Loves Cameras I talk about shooting expired colour transparency film for Expired Film Day 2019. In my Fujifilm Klasse S I shot 2003 Kodak Ektachrome 64T colour transparency film and in my Voigtlander Vito C plastic fantastic I shot 2011 Lomography Colour 200 transparency film. Check out the images on the show notes or on Instagram. I also give a shoutout to three film photography podcasts: Uncle Jonesy's, Grainy Dayz and Embrace the Grain.

Have you ever used a pre-exposed film? Did you love it? Hate it? Or would you never even consider it?

I've bought three rolls of pre-exposed film from three different brands. Here is the review of the Yodica Antares film, shot on an Olympus MJU II (Stylus Epic Infinity). Because if you're going to shoot a film that many photographers hate, why not shoot it on a camera many photographers hate?

Also a reminder about Expired Film Day coming up on 15-16-17 March 2019!
