The folks over at TAP and DYE have released something really special for the film photographer out there. They’re called the Tap and Dye LEGACY Shooters Film pouch and it’s a special case designed to specifically hold your rolls of film. The pouch adheres to many of the standards and overall identity of TAP and DYE; and with that said it sports Martexin waxed canvas and oil dyed leather accents. Five rolls of 120 film or 35mm film can be crammed into here.

The Tap and Dye LEGACY Shooters Film pouch differs from other options like the Japan Camera Hunter cases in that it’s a heck of alot more patina in its looks. JCH is made of pretty hard plastic but the TAP and DYE option will appeal more to the photographer that simply wants a different look. It closes up via a leather strap where as the JCH snaps together. Drop the JCH holder and it may open up and you film rolls are bound to “roll out” pun not intended. But with the Tap and Dye, that won’t happen. To be fair, the JCH holder snapping together is probably more likely to keep out moisture or anything like that.

But even if you’re not a film shooter, you can probably store other things in there like batteries, small flashes, cables, SD cards, etc. Granted they’ll be moving about, but who cares?

Here’s more from the description page:

This hand made film pouch is an essential companion for film shooters in the field or hitting the streets.  Constructed of double walled martexin waxed canvas featuring a built in divider and leather snap fit closure, it is ideal for holding up to 5 rolls of your favorite medium format and 35mm films in a compact form.  Leather accents available in Natural, Antique Tan, Redwood and Olive finishes. 

  • Constructed with Martexin waxed canvas and oil dyed leather accents
  • Solid brass and Copper hardware
  • Holds 5 rolls of 120 film or 5 rolls of 35mm film 
  • Dimensions: 3″ x 6″
  • Hand made in New York
  • Film not included

**Shipping will begin on Wednesday 6/14**

Want one? The Tap and Dye LEGACY Shooters Film pouch will go for $48. That’s not too bad of a price point and when you store it in your camera bag with other film, it’s bound to keep your contents more organized.

Opinion: Please Stop Wearing a Photo Vest if You Don’t Need to Be Wearing a Photo Vest

When I got into this industry years ago, one thing really confused me almost as much as how much certain older photographers tend to treat the younger generation of us: photo vests. I’m completely positive that you’ve all seen them: a photographer of a certain distinguishment (or trying to show off without having said distinguishment) wearing their vests that look a lot like safari vests. You know, almost as if they’re going to go out on an African safari at all times without being anywhere near something like a safari. Walking down the streets doing street photography? You’ll see a photo vest. In the studio? Photo vest! Hiking? Yup, A Photo vest!

The New Nikon P1000 Has a 125x Optical Zoom with a Laughable 1/2.3 inch Sensor for $999.95

Today, for some odd reason, the Nikon P1000 point and shoot camera is being announced. Odd, you ask? The fact that it is a point and shoot isn’t such a big issue at all; but the fact that it’s a superzoom camera being marketed as one with a 125x optical zoom is what’s insane. Kudos to Nikon for being able to do something like this; but then you read the fine print (or in this case, print that’s not even in the press release) and see the bait and switch–this Nikkor lens is having its potential wasted by being placed in front of a 1/2.3 inch sensor.

Opinion: The Fujifilm XT3’s Sensor Still Doesn’t Output Images That Look Totally Like Film (But They’re Nice)

3 Mins read

The Fujifilm XT3 (or as they call it, the Fujifilm X-T3) is the company’s latest evolution to their SLR style camera body designed to be a workhorse for many photographers. Despite a whole lot of great and absolutely fantastic things built into the camera, I personally am wondering what Fujifilm’s goal is here with the idea of the X Trans sensor and Film Simulations. One of the reasons why I was so smitten with the X Pro 1 was the fact that it delivered images that really looked like well shot and developed film. To some extent, the Fujifilm XT2 did too but only really with Acros. With the latest iteration, the Fujifilm X-T3, the company is delivering a new 26.2MP X Trans Sensor that delivers the most beautiful colors of any APS-C sensor that we’ve seen. But at the same time, the film simulations just don’t feel right.
