  1. AstrHori AH-M1 review: a hot shoe light meter you are supposed to sand down The AstrHori AH-M1 is a hot shoe meter you are encouraged to sand the paint off. It is also a perfectly decent meter. Both things are true.
  2. AstrHori XH-2 review: a good meter, a comedy of my errors The AstrHori XH-2 is a compact reflective hot shoe meter that styles beautifully on a Bronica ETRS. It is great. I am the problem here, not the meter.
  3. Freewell V2 Hybrid review: a variable ND and polariser The Freewell V2 Hybrid combines a 3-to-7-stop variable ND and a circular polariser in one filter. Tested on 4x5, the stop markings make film exposure easy.
  4. Jaggle Berlinova review: darkroom prints in daylight The Jaggle Berlinova is a daylight printing system that makes analogue enlargements with no darkroom, the way daylight tanks process film without one.
  5. Reveni Labs Lumo review: a $200 light meter that delivers Hands-on with the Reveni Labs Lumo, a tiny multi-function light meter that does nearly everything a Sekonic L858-D does for about a fifth of the price.
  6. Sekonic L858-D review: six months with the gold standard An honest review of the Sekonic L858-D SpeedMaster after six months of use, including for the paper reversal project. It is brilliant, and expensive.
  7. Sirui C150X Lite review: a 150W light for paper reversal The Sirui C150X Lite is a 150-watt constant light for semi-pro work, with a battery handle and QR40 softbox. Bright enough even for low-ISO paper reversal.
  8. Stenopeika Minutero 2.0: paper reversal at the kitchen table The Stenopeika Minutero 2.0 develops 4x5 black and white paper inside the holder itself, no darkroom needed. After one session it changed how I work.
  9. VSGO Black Snipe 25L review: the camera bag I've been looking for A camera bag actually built right for large format film shooters. Rigid body, fully customisable interior, genuinely secure tripod mount, $250.
  10. Zhiyun Cinepeer CF100: a stick light for film photography? The Zhiyun Cinepeer CF100 is an LED stick light aimed at video. I tested it for film portraits, even dry plates at ISO 2, and the shape of it won me over.
