Essential Photo Gear

The British Journal of Photography’s Technology section reviews the latest cameras, lenses and accessories each month, alongside reports on new technological trends.

We focus on mostly higher-end kit, as is reflective of our professional readership. But we’re never snooty about that. These days, new technologies are more often introduced in cameras aimed at the wider enthusiast market, and ‘professional’ no longer implies a product is ‘superior’ – rather it recognises that a product may be in constant use, in often less than ideal climatic or lighting conditions.

For this special free app we have selected four of the best products we’ve featured over the past 18 months, ranging from the Pentax 645Z medium format camera on the cover here, to Rotolight’s Anova Bi Colour LED lights, and you can read our full verdict on each one inside.

Brought to you from the makers of British Journal of Photography, the award-winning magazine that takes you to the cutting edge of contemporary image making.
