[7th August 2020] OK, so I get through a lot of cameras and lenses! Really though, no matter how long I try a camera system at a photographic dealer or photography show, the only way to find out if it works for me is to own it for a while. A broad knowledge of several…
[10th March 2020] First launched in August 2006, the Canon EOS 400D is a digital SLR (DSLR) camera with a 10.1 megapixel CMOS APS-C sensor. Paired with a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM lens, I took the Canon EOS 400D camera to the recent Snowman Rally, ultimately what turned out to be the only round…
[26th February 2020] On the day of the FujiFilm X-T4 launch I am revisiting the pioneer of the Fuji X-T line, the X-T1. Announced in January 2014 the X-T1 was the first FujiFilm interchangeable lens mirrorless camera to adopt single lens reflex (SLR) styling with a central viewfinder and a ‘faux’ pentaprism. Indeed it was…
[20th February 2020] The FujiFilm GFX system has been on my radar since its official launch in February 2017.

Launched in September 2012, the X-E1 shares the original X-Trans CMOS sensor with the X-Pro 1 producing fabulous…
[16th September 2019] The British Touring Car Championship’s annual visit north of the border to Knockhill provided plenty of close racing with the title battle thrown wide-open after leader Colin Turkington’s best result was a single 4th place. Race 1 featured a popular victory for home hero Rory Butcher (Honda Civic Type R FK2) who…
[24th April 2019] I am really pleased to be featured in the latest Amateur Photographer magazine (dated 27th April 2019). My image of the Northern Lights over the Isle of Skye is used alongside my thoughts on the FujiFilm X-Pro 1 camera in the second-hand classic feature. The magazine is now available in shops if…
[29th March 2019] I have had a 1950 Rolleiflex Automat K4/50 medium format twin lens reflex camera for many years but only ever put a few rolls of film through it and was always disappointed with the results. It was fairly sharp on the right hand side but very soft on the left so about…
