What's Inside
Peel back the tissue.
Every box, hand-assembled in Brooklyn.
Kodak Portra 400
ISO 400 · 35mm · 36exp
Famously fine grain and exceptional latitude. Skin tones that breathe. Shadows that hold detail long after you thought they'd break.

The Zine
24 pages · saddle-stitched
Metered exposure charts, push/pull tables, three frames from photographers who've lived with this stock for a decade.
Ilford Ilfosol 3
Film developer · 35ml
A one-shot developer concentrate. Enough for two rolls. Mix it at home, smell what chemistry smells like.
Surprise Roll
Curated to your profile
A second roll selected from your quiz answers — could be Cinestill 800T, Lomo 100, or something you've never loaded.
"The zine alone is worth the subscription. I've learned more from two pages of Portra notes than six months of forum threads."

Find Your Film
Five questions.
Answer honestly and we'll build your first box around how you actually shoot — not how you think you should.
From the Community
They're already rolling.
I've been shooting film for twelve years. Roll finds stocks I've never heard of. Last month's Rollei Infrared 400 broke my brain in the best way.

The zine is genuinely good. Not a pamphlet — a real artifact. I keep them all in a shoebox next to my negatives.

My grandfather's FM2 has been sitting in a drawer for twenty years. The quiz matched me with HP5, and now it's been through four rolls in three weeks.
