new 55 color. 

Been a big fan/user/supporter of New55 and their 4x5 monochrome instant w/negative that’s been out for a while. This, their brand new 4x5 color print stuff is apparently resourced stock from the 20x204 studio, which I’m guessing has more or less the same properties as 803 8x10, 59 4x5, 669 3x4, etc....This stuff has the usual ghostly artifacts i’d expect from “experimental” or “art” stock in the developmental stage and/or expired peel apart. I struggled with exposure (says ISO 150 on the box, but 50 on the website, the latter being confirmed by a quick exchange on twitter). I was either a couple under or way over as you can see. Taking into account the fact that exposure times on my Aeroliberator (custom Graflex Super D) aren’t always spot on, it still seemed to difficult to peg the right exposure. These are all 5 of the 10 I shot or tried to shoot. One I blew through user error (simply the wrong setting on my overly complicated beast of camera). The rest got mangled or lodged or separated in my 545 holder (which while finicky in and of themselves, this particular holder has been reliable). My buddy Ben Parks struggled too with getting the sheet in and out, as well as other exposure issues, losing some  sheets as well (but also capturing a haunting self portrait). So far as I could ascertain the envelope is simply too thick or wide? Shot these all in a hurry today, so, many grains of salt I suppose can also be sprinkled into account. Anyway, kudos as always for keeping the dream alive and psychedelic. Looking forward to improvements. Christ, I sound like Steve Huff, bless his heart.

I’m checking out the Martian Manhunter comic. Beginning Issue 3 and I’m reminded why I stopped reading the New 52. The Justice League fights J’onn for no reason, and turns out J’onn is a weapon of Martian Invasion who are scary and evil-looking.

It’s so angry and edgy. Reminds of this guy who asked me why I didn’t like the New 52, when it had Forever Evil and such cool villains. I don’t like villains, I like heroes; and I like optimism. 

Also this isn’t Martian Manhunter. And this aren’t the Martians, Greg Weisman’s were much more interesting

全球限量500部，針孔即影即有相機66/6 面世！

繼早前的 New 55 即影即有相紙之後，對於喜歡即影即有的讀者來說，這或者又是一個好消息：限量發售的「針孔即影即有相機 66/6」已經面世！

  66 年前，Edwin Land 帶來了第一部即影即有相機；6 年前，寶麗來宣佈停產即影即有菲林，66 與 6，就成為了這部針孔即影即有相機的名字，也用以紀念即影即有相機的發展。

這部相機由 Impossible Project  (就是早前接手寶麗萊生産即影即有相紙的公司)、Supersense 兩間公司，以及設計師 Achim Heine 共同開發。機身採用全黑設計、橡膠製蛇腹(Bellows)、並提供.12mm 以及.24mm 兩個大小的針孔鏡頭，而且全球只限量發售500部！

針孔相機沒有自動測光功能，根據其教學，要靠測光 App，或者外置測光表進行測光。而曝光時間的計算，教學的例子用 .24mm 版本，使用 Impossible B/W 600 相紙，以光圈設為 f/57、ISO 640，並將結果乘以 41，就是曝光的秒數。詳細教學可瀏覽官方網站。

雖然是限量發售，但其售價其實比筆者想像中便宜，有興趣的話可以到這裡看看。

New 55

New 55 is a project not unlike the Impossible Project. Yet this is to try and resurrect the wonderful Polaroid type 55 positive/negative film.

Check them out and help spread the word!
