The Olympus OM-1 was my first real camera, I bought it as-new in 1981, when I was a student, for £95. That was a lot of money in those days, and my bank account didn’t recover for many years (in today’s money, that’s £350). That it was fully manual was all-important. My photography was going […]
B&W film comes in a variety of formats (35mm, 120, large format) and speeds (ISO 6 – 3200). Black and white (B&W) film is the the oldest and simplest type of photographic emulsion. Beginner-level film photography classes have traditionally used B&W film because it’s very easy to work with. It can be developed at room […]
Samsung’s Galaxy Note20 Ultra is the company’s flagship phablet. It comes in two versions: we tested the Exynos-powered global variant’s front camera recently, and now it’s time for the version sold in the United States and China, based on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865+ 5G processor. Like its Exynos twin, this phone’s single selfie camera looks through […]
When I got back into film a few years ago, the first camera I used was a nice looking vintage affair that I found on a boot sale stall – a Regula RM. I was attracted to its textured leatherette over gleaming chrome, clean lines and a cool badge of a ‘K’ inside a shield […]

Leica has launched a Kevlar-trim ‘Reporter’ version of its M10-P camera , but at $8795/£7100 body only you’ll need to be very brave to test the effectiveness of the new Kevlar trim on the company’s latest limited edition M camera. The new Leica M10-P ‘Reporter’ features a deep green paint that looks to me like […]

Last June, we wrote about PhotoStatistica, a macOS app that visualizes the EXIF data of your photos. The app delivers a macro-level view of your photography and presents EXIF data in infographics and statistics. Essentially, the app presents a visual representation of how you capture images. The app is made by Phil Pegden, founder of […]
While high output lights are my preference for their versatility, having a smaller form factor Fresnel with good output plus a battery option is a light most of us would like to have in our kit. The Aputure LS 60 line fits into that smaller and punchy category and yes it has a Fresnel type […]

It has fast charging capability, jumping from 0 to […]
I stumbled upon this blue blocky Yashica compact on eBay and decided to shell out more than my normal 20 buck limit since it had a f/3.2 lens. As usual, the seller was very kind and personable, and I left the transaction a little poorer but with a smile and my first non-cheapo compact… I […]
