4- Fuji GSW690iii review: a technically perfect camera I cannot quite work out what to do with The Fuji GSW690iii produces immaculate 6x9 negatives from a fixed 65mm f5.6 super-wide lens. Reliability is bulletproof. The lens is genuinely flawless. So why am I struggling to work out what I want to do with it? An honest review of a camera that might be too good.
- Fuji GX680 review: a £40 beast with insane image quality The Fuji GX680 is the biggest, heaviest medium format SLR I have ever owned, and it produces the sharpest, most detailed images I have ever got from film. Dead batteries make these cameras dirt cheap, and the fix is simple DIY. Here is how I got one working and a flash-and-smoke portrait shoot to prove what it can do.
- Lomo LC-A 120 review: a point-and-shoot medium format camera with a brilliant lens The Lomo LC-A 120 is an auto-exposure point-and-shoot that shoots 6x6 on 120 film. I took it across Botswana and Namibia, loved the lens when it was sharp, struggled with the zone focusing, broke the camera, and came away wanting one anyway. Honest review.
- 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.
