A few times more recently I’ve been confronted with a Giant inflatable Rat on my walks around the City. This is down to one of the more bitter industrial disputes of recent years and relates back to one of Europe’s largest engineering projects, Crossrail. UNITE, one of the UK’s largest trade unions, claims that the …

More today from the the X-E1 and the Zeiss Touit 32mm. It’s just a really lovely combination, small yet powerful in image quality. This lunchtime was awful weather in some ways, but perfect for photography too. Bright, diffuse light allowing shutter speeds outside in excess of 1/1000. However, that meant a lot of clouds too! …
Tou be, or not Tou be? Carl Zeiss Touit 32mm F1.8
Another appalling pun. Sorry… So this is a brief look at the Carl Zeiss Touit 32mm for Fuji X Mount. First of all I should just mention how the lens is so sharp I cut myself…. I jest again, but it’s a very good lens. So is the Fuji 35mm, what gives? I think there …
Just Touit – Zeiss Touit 12mm

Impressions of the Fujinon XF 55–200mm F/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS
Wow, how lucky am I? I’ve just finished pulling together my thoughts on the Fuji XF 55–200mm and I get a call from the dealer to say my tou Zeiss Touit lenses (get it?) are on their way… Anyway, to the 55-200mm. A very quick explanation – no test charts or other examples to be seen …
Kew Gardens with my RX1 and D800E in combination
This weekend I visited Kew Gardens in south west London. The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew are a series of gardens and botanical glasshouses between Richmond and Kew in Richmond upon Thames. It’s a botanical research and education institution with 700 staff as well as a visitor attraction receiving almost two million visits a year. The …
