Take the picture.
Wait for it.

Load a roll. Look through the finder. Press the shutter. You will not see the frame until the lab is done — minutes, not milliseconds. Then it arrives in an envelope, like it used to.

Load a rollCheck the lab

1 · Stock

Portra, HP5, CineStill 800T, Velvia. Each stock has grain, color, and a development time.

2 · Shoot

Webcam as a viewfinder. Frame counter only. Arm a double exposure if you are feeling lucky.

3 · Develop

Drop the roll at the lab. Pace the room. When the timer ends, a sealed envelope is waiting.

4 · Open

Contact sheet first, then prints. Keep the roll in the archive. Nothing uploads anywhere — it lives in this browser.
