Another Day, another X100!
I’m not sure if it was a good idea to buy ‘another’ X100 series camera but there’s no denying the fact that it’s certainly the best X100 series camera made to date with the features it has packed into it. The idea of a flip screen, the latest lens which offers secure sharp focussing wide […]

Loving life with a 90mm
For all the other gear I have that’s probably more suited to woodland and landscape photography I love to get out into the woods with my Leica M10-P and a couple of lenses. It feels a much more cathartic experience shooting with a Leica M over the Nikon Z6 I have. It’s a slower process, […]

Nikon Zfc first thoughts
Inspired by film cameras of yesteryear, I was immediately taken in by the Nikon Zfc when it was released last year. A small APS-C camera with cool looks and a Nikon sensor – what’s not to love right? Having had the ZFC for about a month or so I thought I’d jot down some of […]

All in on Leica?
A little while ago I wrote a blog post about the compromises I make shooting with the Leica M10-P. At the time I have to say I was struggling to justify quite a bit about it for my needs. The quality of the images I could make with it were never in doubt, but it […]

Happy Anniversary ‘Cron
It’s exactly a year since I pushed the button and was lucky enough to buy myself a Leica Summicron 35mm f2 ASPH. When I bought my Leica M10-P a couple of years ago or so, I promised myself I would one day own a Leica Summicron 35mm ASPH. It’s one of those lenses that through […]

Nikon Z6 in 2022

Nikons Naughty Forty
I picked up a Nikon Z 40mm f2 lens a couple of weeks ago or so and thought I’d jot down a few notes on my first thoughts on the lens.

Compromise – At what cost?
After a little over two years of owning my Leica M10-P, the thought process is do I need (well I want) to move it on.

Fujifilm X-Pro1 in 2021
A camera that’s almost 10 years old…. a consumer product that through its lifetime has evolved to where it is now. Is it really worth considering a Fujifilm X-Pro1 in 2021, particularly for woodland and outdoor photography?

NiSi Compact Filter System
When I first started eyeing up X100F’s again, one thing I was interested in was the ability to use a filter system with the camera. With the built in 3 stop ND Filter, the X100 series offers a great starting point, but if you want to try out long exposure photography a filter kit of […]

The Return of the F…
With the recent release of the X100v, the cost of F ownership has come down quite a bit and refurbished/second hand examples are starting to fall in price making them a bit of a bargain if you have the funds to consider one.

Nisi V5 Square Filter Kit – First look.
Since I’ve started to get out and about more I’ve been looking for a filter system I can pair with the Fujiflm X-H1 & 16-55mm lens.

Jeez Camera Gear Buying is such a Waste.
Looking back through the memories that pop up on my Facebook timeline from time to time I came across a photo I had taken back in 2017 with some new gear I’d just bought.
