When the first idea for a small wiki about cameras and films emerged in June 2012, no one would have imagined where the journey would lead. Since its official launch on June 13, 2012, FilmPhotography.eu has grown step by step and developed into a solid, vibrant platform. What started as a purely private project has become a valued destination for photography enthusiasts from all over the world.
The core of our site naturally revolves around analog photography with all its facets. We love analog, the feel of old and new cameras, loading a fresh film, and the eager anticipation of the finished pictures. That's exactly why we offer well-founded and detailed information about cameras, films, and lenses. Our special focus is on comprehensive test reports: we take a close look at the equipment and share our honest, practical experiences to provide reliable guidance.
But photography doesn't stop for us at the body or the film. Those who photograph today often travel, are on the go a lot, and appreciate practical helpers. That's why we have expanded our focus. We test and discuss useful accessories, travel-friendly equipment, and all the little gadgets that make life as a photographer on the road or in everyday life easier.
Over the many years online, a loyal international community has formed around FilmPhotography.eu. Our readers no longer come only from German-speaking countries. We reach people around the globe, especially in the USA, Canada, Great Britain, Spain, China, and Japan. For us – and also for partners or manufacturers whose products we present – this is a wonderful opportunity to reach a very engaged, technically interested community worldwide.
Our goal remains to pass on the enthusiasm for photography, to guide beginners, and to dispel the old prejudice that analog photography is dead. We want to answer the questions that concern us all: Which camera suits me? How does this film behave in real life? And which gadget will save me valuable nerves on my next trip? The site grows daily, is supplied with new articles, and – in the best sense – will probably never be completely finished.
