I originally bought the Fujifilm 50mm f/2 to complete my set of small, weather-sealed primes alongside the 23mm f/2 and 35mm f/2. Both of those lenses impressed — more so the 35mm f/2, which I found sharp, fast to focus, and great value. I’ve written a guide to the best Fujifilm lenses if you want … Read more
When I decided to re-start this website earlier this year, I began by scanning through some old hard drives — and ended up losing myself for a day or two in the photos I’ve taken over the years. Photos that, unless I’d gone digging out of necessity, probably would’ve sat there untouched for another decade. … Read more
Last Updated: 29 May 2026 I’ve continued using the OM-3 since publishing this review and have updated the article to reflect my long-term experience. My overall opinion remains unchanged: the OM-3 remains one of the most enjoyable cameras I’ve used in recent years and one of the strongest options available for travel, family and everyday … Read more
Update — May 2026 I’ve now been using the Nikon Z8 alongside the Nikon Z6 III for months here in Scotland, as well as previously in the Philippines, and I continue to be impressed with both the camera and Nikon’s Z-mount lenses.

Since originally publishing this article, I’ve used them for family photography, travel, everyday carry and landscape work here in Scotland as well as … Read more
35mm is the focal length I always come back to. I own a 35mm (or the equivalent) in every system I shoot, so it’s a critical lens for me — and for a lot of photographers who want a single prime they can rely on day in, day out. The question is: does the Nikon … Read more
Note that this article is more about how the cameras make you feel and shoot. I did a detailed comparison of the Fuji X-T5 vs Nikon Z6III here. I also compared the Nikon Z6III vs Nikon Z8. I recently wrote about why the Nikon ZF is an important camera and will compare it with the … Read more
Last updated: April 2026 — tested with the Nikon Z6III, Zf and Z8 in real-world use. Ah, another 50mm f/1.8 lens. Great… but wait — this one’s different. My first 50mm was the plastic-fantastic Canon 50mm f/1.8 back on a humble 450D. I’m not knocking it — it was great value, and at that point … Read more
