Film favourites

Analogue Wonderland is a High Wycombe-based online store and processing lab for UK film photography enthusiasts. It all started in 2018 with the idea to make film photography as fun and accessible as possible for everyone. Mother-and-son combo Mary and Paul teamed up to share their passion for film photography with the world, and put the soul back into photography. Now six years on, Analogue Wonderland is a one-stop shop for film photographers across the UK and beyond.

Which camera(s) do you use?

You’ll almost always find me with a Minolta and Leica from the ’80s, the Minolta CLE, paired with a 28mm Summicron. I also like to take my Rolleiflex out for a walk every once in a while.
