Camera review: The Canon SURE SHOT Z135
It has come to the point in my life where I am the ‘camera guy’ to family and colleagues; I will not lie to you, I have brought this on myself, and knew it would happen. When Christmas or a birthday rolls around, I get camera-themed goods. At work I’d previously been given a camera […]

The Bronica ETR: 40 years old but not an old dog

The Olympus XA review: how I fell in love with a tiny plastic box…
…and back in love with photography again and again.
