Leica Long Landscapes


The users of film cameras have distinct advantages over their digital counterparts - it makes no difference what the electrical wall plugs look like in your holiday hotel. You cannot lose the charger down the back of the bedside table. Spare batteries are easy to find, particularly for the older models that do not take batteries. And the last for...decades...

The technique of shooting a landscape scene through a dense filter to extend the exposure time is quite popular with digital shooters these days. The same is possible with film if you use one that has a low enough ISO to start with - but you still have to use the very dark ND filter.

Start yourself out with the AGFA PAN 25 film - made by Maco Photo Products in Europe. A true 25 ISO, and extremely fine grain. You can reach the website of the manufacturer for development times here:
