As of now (20 July 2026), it’s been a few days since the Kodak EC35 35mm film camera announcement. I know anyone who has been looking at that are also checking back how was the Snapic A1 cause do we really need another camera? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d say yes for the fun of it but hey, I too own a Kodak ektar h35n and it’s an entirely different feeling too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anywho, I wanted to also show you Fotohub’s film which I was curious about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s a 500D film, by Fotohub themselves but they called it FOTOCINE film with 27 exposures. Basically, I didn’t want to try peel off the casing to see what they had rebranded over or really, what film is<\/em> this? Fotohub is a Singapore company so I’m confused if we had reels of film available here in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially when it has to be ECN2 processed so it’s got remjet on it? You can’t do the normal processing for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I loaded it into my Kodak Snapic A1 (I got from 8 Storey Tree<\/a>) to see how both the camera and the film is like. So whatever you see, just know this is under Singapore’s super sunny and hot weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Snapic A1 has the cool double exposure function so that’s neat, I know I used this at around late afternoon so the light wasn’t super blinding but it was still bright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can start to see this is very high contrast kind of film and the greens are so deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I walked around City Hall area. This was also a bright sunny day that this contrast and colouring is just so very vivid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is taken on a Singapore morning. Yeah, it’s been a very sunny season lately. But you can tell the quality of the glass of the camera lets you see the shine like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Considering it’s 500D, it’s very high grain for some reason and high contrast. It’s not my style of film but hey, I just wanted to see what the heck IS this film?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the scans (by Fotohub themselves), it also doesn’t show any halation effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just really high contrast and grain for darker areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could you make a guess what this film is actually from? Or did they finally get to manufacture film themselves??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s an interesting film but not exactly my style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, it means I can develop my other film at fotohub now since they do scanning services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FYI, I just like the Kodak Gold 200 look, a more mellow ‘retro’ vibe for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will you guys get the EC35? It’s more of a point and click type. I’m quite enjoying the Snapic A1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
