Why I Use the Kaiser Bulk Loader - Mike Medlock // Staff Picks

Mike’s held on to one of these Kaiser Bulk Loaders for several years now, and wanted to share his hot tip with you. Alright - it’s not as interesting to discuss as something super-spicy like a black paint Leica M3 - but he assures us that a bulk loader is an extremely useful bit of kit to hold on to.

Following on from my review of the king of the half frame cameras, the Olympus Pen FT, I’ve got some shots to share from it shot on Agfa Precisa – a.k.a rebadged Fuji Provia. This is a great slide film, especially when on a budget. We sell it at £6/roll for individual rolls, with discount available on bulk buys – and thats for 36 shot rolls.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and sharpness I got from a half frame camera, and also how stitching together the two half frame shots created a nice look at scenes in a different style to a single photograph, you can create a mini story across the frame if you think about the shots when taking them.

Most of these shots are from a walk around Didsbury, South Manchester, up and down the Mersey and surrounding areas, with the final three frames being around Leeds.

The Camera really was a joy to use and although I have sold mine since, I fully expect to buy another one in the not too distant future.
