The Deutsches Filminstitut (DIF) brings us this amazing look at the Ernst Leitz Optische Werke in Wetzlar, circa 1932. Pretty interesting see the workers and machinery of the time, producing the early cameras and lenses!

Daniel Maissan writes about his video, filmed with the Leica M (Type 240)...

Eva Maria is a four year old autistic girl living in the suburbs of Cuzco. Claudia is one of the therapists of Abrazos the foundation that invited me here to photograph their work. This organization helps families with the upbringing of an autistic child. Of course I couldn't let the opportunity pass to also record some video.

Director Mark Toia put together this great video while he was in Jakarta, and writes:

This was a spare time project, I was bored one weekend and decided to head out to see what I could shoot in less the 6 hours... edit in 8 hours... finish grade and master out in 5 hours... Total 19 hours. Finished all in my laptop in a hotel room in Jakarta. I put this video on my website the week after and have won many TVC projects around the world from it. So it pays to do something with your spare time…

Jan van den Broek shows us In this video how you can develop film (35mm and rollfilm) using Lego Mindstorms... Remember, what you see are the very first results. The goal was, besides the Lego RCX 1.0, to use simple materials.

After loading the film into the reel and linking it to the machine I have now my hands and time free...

See how Adox Adonal is packaged at the factory! #ShootFilm

The oldest commercial developer still in production, and one of our favorites - Rodinal (now sold as R09 One Shot, Adox Adonal) is famous for its contrast control and flexibility. One of Rodinal's undoubted attributes is its incredible shelf life, with half-opened bottles reported to last over 40 years. The solution is light straw colored when first opened, and during the course of a year turns darker until eventually becoming deep purple-brown.

A bit of a cheeky video (actually a scene from Eurotrip) - but features a Leica! There may also be some technical inaccuracies... You have been warned.
