New film: Kodak Ektar 100!
by adrian |For those who have been talking to me will probably know that I’ve been harping about this film for ages since I heard it from Shahdi. It actually took 4.5 months to arrive! Talk about being slow…
Good things come to those who wait right?
Anyways according to Kodak, it has:
- Ultra-vivid colors
- Exceptional sharpness
- Extraordinary enlargement capability
The 2nd and 3rd reason don’t really attract me but ULTRA VIVID COLORS do! Apparently it has also the world’s finest grain in it’s picture. They claim it damn big some more lor!
Since I personally have not tried the films, I’ll show you some pictures that got me excited to bring in this film!*Pictures obtain from Flickr*

BBF + Fuji Velvia 100F + XPro = ?
by jajason |Hi everybody.. So sorry for not contributing for such a long time. My life is so so so occupied now with this and that. Its the beginning of my semester and there are already tonnes of work for me to complete and not to forget, I am involved in my University’s basketball competition where I trained almost everyday from evening till near midnight. Sigh.. Time is so limited for me. Thankfully, basketball is over now and its time for me to get back to my normal life.
Basically, U can see what this post is all about through the title clearly.. I have inserted Fuji Velvia into the BBF borrowed from Adrian last month and bringing it everywhere with me. Shoot here and there and these are what u get from the equation at the title.
Plamodel DIY 135mm Camera for dummies
by zybisko14 |Hello boys and girls! How was your Christmas celebrations? No? how about your new year celebration then? Did you manage to get drunk? They say a person is exceptionally creative when one is drunk. You should try taking pictures in that state, who knows what sort of pictures you might come out with. Heh. But seriously, don’t do it, it was meant as a joke.
That’s a really bad intro anyway. Ah, it has been a while since I posted anything, I am pretty sure I am about to be treated with a fried squid (that’s calamari for you sophisticated ones). The reason? I was away on vacation at Bali. 
Well Adrian said we contributors were extremely handsome and pretty hardworking in contributing to his site, he decided to give us the Plamodel DIY Super Kengchau 135 Toy Camera each! Since this was meant as a Christmas gift, I decided to open it at Bali.
Like what Renee described earlier on one has to do a bit of reading on the manual to get the assembly right. I’d love to do some camwhoring while fixing it, but I was too lazy to set up my tripod and my wife was asleep anyway.
Blackbird, fly through Penang
by jajason |Just finished my finals last week and after all those hardwork and sleepless night, the much anticipated holidays have arrived.
First stop for my holidays, Penang. Its my first time going there and I heard lots of good stuff bout that place, especially the food there and I am sure I am going to have a big fat belly after the trip and its true, I am having a big fat belly now. — Okay, everything before this was written like 2 weeks ago. This post has stuck in the draft for so so so long. Its a tragedy. When I was back to my hometown, to my surprise, the internet service for my house was terminated. It was a big blow for me. You see, my parents were never as advance as their son in terms of computer stuff and they decided to terminate the internet service because I spent most of the time in KL, and even my house’s telephone service was terminated too.
Okay, lets talk about Penang. Everything was nice there especially the food. I visited a lot of places and the 1 that i love includes the Kek Lok Si, Bukit Bendera, the food stalls, Hard Rock Cafe and Gurney.. The food is awesome there. But there’s one thing that really upset me, I think more specific, my tummy, is the lacking of experience of my tour guide, who is my friend from Taiping. She brought us to many many nice places to eat but almost every place is like famous for their fried kuey teow and Penang Laksa. So, it was like eating the Laksa and kuey teow at every place possible around Penang. And now even its like almost 3 weeks from the trip, I am still sick of them. But overall, it was a nice experience going there especially with my crazy friends around.
I brought 2 toy cameras with me which is the BBF and the UWS. For the BBF, I loaded it with Agfa CT Precisa 100 and for the UWS, I loaded it with the Fujichrome Sensia 200. I am quite satisfied with the Agfa CT Precisa’s x-processed pictures but for the Sensia, its not as nice as I expected. I will talk bout that in my next post. Thanks to uncle Zybisko, I think there’s no need for me to intro much bout the BBF. So these are my pics. Hope you all like it.

UWS + REDscale for the 1st Time
by jajason |Hi.. I am Jajason and finally I can find a bit of time to write my first post. I am currently in the midst of having my finals.. Stress stress stress..
After being chosen begging to get into the team to write for TCS, I started to borrow the Digital Harinezumi but my mingy stingy master doesn’t include it with a battery and memory card so I borrowed a UWS instead. I am kinda broke this month so can’t afford any extra money on my interests.
I always wanted to get the ori UWS but never had the chance. With my newfound super power after joining TCS, its time to play with those toy cameras that i love without buying it. Haha..
The UWS is mini and cute and I can bring it everywhere with ease. After shooting 1 roll of redcsale film with it while on my trip around KL and back to my hometown. The things that I dont really like bout the cam is:
- Can’t do multiple exposure.
- Need a bright sunny day for nice pics.
But the wide angle lens is truly amazing.. Love it so much..
I paired it up with a roll of homemade redscale of Fuji Superia 200. If you dont know what am I talking about, check out this link –> Redscale . And if you are interested to know how to make it yourself. Check this link –> DIY Redscale . You can save a lot by making it yourself instead of buying it from LSI. So like what I said, I am so damn poor this month but still wanna try some special films instead of the normal negatives, redscale is the only option i have.
I grabbed some clothes and my UWS, escaped from all my stress here in KL for a few days and back to my hometown. Check out some of the pics that I love and give some comments bout it.. Compliments are welcome too if you love it.
