It offers something special that makes images appear tangible, organic, and honest. In an AI saturated age, this film is a counterpoint with an authentically imperfect human touch and I believe we need to be reminded of this more in our lives.

It's a frustrating experience in that regard, as I was only able to achieve perfect exposure with a handful of images out of the two rolls I shot. When both the blacks are crushed and the highlights are missing detail, sadly everything just looks a little bit wrong.

It all comes down to feeling. I simply enjoy the feeling of photographing with film the same way I enjoy playing an acoustic kit rather than a electronic one. It's my response to these tools that I cannot sacrifice for ease and convenience.

I never felt like anything was missing through this process, but this is where Tri-X surprised me.

In use I've found that Dehancer truly has thrown everything they could at this app, holding nothing back that could potentially annoy their existing user base.

The film stock is only the beginning, as you can completely change the look of the film preset by adjusting any of the other numerous options. This leads to a near endless number combinations to experiment with.

Lately, I've been shooting all of my product photography with the Godox AD200 Pro. It's been much more enjoyable compared to using larger monolights paired with manual radio triggers.

I'm a sucker for great design, and the Kodak Ektar H35 has it in spades. It just looks really beautiful especially with the faux leather contrasted with a classic silver top finish. The body is conveniently pocketable in a jacket which is how I usually carried mine.

We're now seeing smartphone manufacturers incorporate a one inch sensor in their cameras as well, which only narrows the technological gap even further. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 III provides a far more rewarding user experience however.

I must confess that I even stopped using Fujifilm's legendary film simulations in favor of The Classic Presets. Fujifilm's offering has its own beauty and appeal, but these presets seem more accurate to me based on past experience with film.
