First tests.

It’s like a sort of sunk cost fallacy. The feeling of holding a heavy medium-format camera in my hands or those hours in the lab filled with the smell of the stop bath kept captivating me. Is all that effort really worth it given the results?
Let’s be honest: No.
One weekend in April 2024, a wave of pragmatism hit me: could I get a similar experience with my smartphone? While the optical quality couldn’t compare, the contrast ranges were simply stunning and, well, the “magic” of digital photography allows for “acceptable” results.
That’s when my first tests began. I started “playing” again.
