Landing page captured for the 2026-09-20 issue.
For
Film photographers working without reliable light meters
Worth noticing
It pairs exposure notes with a Sunny-16 selector and specific film-storage guidance, including warm-up times for 35 mm and 120 film.

Field notes

The notebook explains exposure as a three-way trade between aperture, shutter speed, and fixed film ISO, then connects that explanation to equivalent exposures in the Sunny-16 selector. Its storage section distinguishes unexposed from exposed film and gives practical temperature and condensation guidance. Composition notes treat edge-checking, leading lines, and the direction of movement as part of the pre-shutter routine.
