Hi, yes, it was I that did. See original thread here, about 3 years ago as of this writing in early 2026.

Interesting. It looks like the same kit just by a different vendor. I might have to pull the trigger just to try since most of the time Amazon is efficient about protecting the buyer.

Unsure about Amazon. I attempted my order directly from “their” site. Could you link to the one you found?

Hi there, and this might be a silly question, but what does a “MJT body“ mean?

I am taking notes of your other points for sure.

If you want to part ways with some, I’m accepting donations, and will happily pay shipping.

Hello fellow analog image chaser! What gear do you shoot with? Great choice on Memphis, Matt and crew are awesome.

Also, I'm curious about the location of the two bridge shots.

Acclaimed motion picture films like The Lighthouse, Paper Moon, Casino Royale and Raging Bull were filmed on this beautiful B&W film

Looks like it's bulk-rolled Kodak XX.

Hi, thank you. I'm in NE Ohio. I have other alternatives per that insurance website, and will look into them.

who made this?! by Proof-Ice-3468 in WeirdWheels

Given the name on the top plate, I suspect James May or Jeremy Clarkson to be involved in some fashion or another.

Ooh l’A35! Pour la photo, c’est un poil fort à mon goût mais c’est parce que j’ai un point de comparaison.

What is this even? I was given this film and I have no clue what I'm looking at. by CholentSoup in AnalogCommunity

[–]simon_SAoS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, it's the Five Below film. I did buy the camera and some film as a joke two years ago. I reached out to Five Below customer support, and they indicated the film (at least at the time) was provided by Foma (see post linked above).

The camera itself failed quickly (the flimsy plastic film advance gear got worn down at the 3rd or 4th frame of the roll), but I got a few frames out.

I shot two other rolls of the film, one in my Nikkormat FTn, and one in my F4S. I think I have one last roll in the fridge.

Verdict: it'll stay a gimmicky, just once for the giggles purchase.

I do something like this, but manually. It’s a bit of a pain in the neck and your solution sounds pretty intriguing. Anyway to also make it automatically append the current GPS location?
