A new year is here, and I hope it will be a better one than the last. At least it feels like a good moment to pick up the plans I made at the end of 2019 (and 2021.

Last year, I added three new cameras to my small collection: a Soviet AGAT-18, a FED2, and the new Kodak Ektar H35. All of them should be helpful for some of my upcoming projects. In the spring, I want to try out my Pentacon K-16 with some expired film—maybe I’ll get lucky and it will still work. It would be nice to give the camera a bit of new life, even if just for a short time.

There’s also a recently published film from Dubblefilm I want to try: the “Treat” film with 400 ISO and the rem-jet layer removed1. And for my medium format cameras, there’s the new Kentmere film2 to test as well. I’m excited to see how these turn out.

And last but not least, maybe the new ORWO film3 will finally arrive.

So at least from a photographic perspective, there’s plenty of material to look forward to this year.
