After being home for just over a month, I have finally received the processed film from my time in Iceland. The film is Kodak Ektar 100 120mm: touted by the manufacturer as "grainless". The camera, a Fuji 645, is an auto focus, point and shoot, medium format camera with a 50mm lens. It's a great camera for travel, however, there are several drawbacks: the camera is a range finder - i.e. the shooter can not look through the lens when focusing and sometimes shoots with lens cap on - 120 film only has 16 frames, and the best processing and customer service is very expensive and in San Francisco. I find that these limitations add to the adventure of making images and that my appetite for instant visual gratification is satiated by a handy iphone or digital camera.

The image below is an example of what happens when the roll is not wound tightly and light leaks onto the film; another casualty of the format and a suitable memory image of BAER:
