  1. AstrHori XH-2 review: a good hot shoe light meter and a comedy of my own errors The AstrHori XH-2 is a compact reflective hot shoe light meter that styles beautifully on a Bronica ETRS. It took me three days and a string of self-inflicted disasters to review it, including a dead battery I diagnosed as a gummed-up lens. The meter is great. I am the problem.
  2. Farewell to the Bronica ETRS One last shoot with a camera I have loved, before it heads to a new owner in Australia. Self-portraits on Kentmere 200 and Lomography Potsdam in my garage studio, with the Bronica ETRS that has never let me down.

  4. K&F Concept A254C4 tripod review (and four attempts to photograph birds at minus fourteen) An honest review of the K&F Concept A254C4 carbon fibre tripod with B-35L ballhead, combined with the slow-motion disaster of trying to photograph chickadees and nuthatches on a Bronica ETRS in sub-zero Toronto temperatures.

  5. What is 120 film? Everything you need to know about medium format 120 film is the medium format roll film most photographers move on to after 35mm. Here is what it is, how it differs, how to load it, how the frame sizes work, and the bits that confuse everyone the first time.
  6. Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 520 review: a 90-year-old 645 folder for £20 The original Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 520 was first produced in 1932. It is fully mechanical, properly pocketable, has a 70mm f3.5 Tessar lens and a Compur Rapid shutter to 1/500th, and you can pick one up on eBay for around £20. The results are genuinely extraordinary for the price. Honest review.
