Brands
I am very much open to discussion with regard to product reviews. I have written reviews based on equipment borrowed and received from the likes of Kodak, Ilford, Leica, Zeiss and Lomography, additionally to these bigger brands I have also reviewed products made smaller companies such as Kolari Vision, Lumu, Taab, Zaid made and Footprint, and software developers like Nightcap and RNI. If it is to do with photography, and relatable to a film photographer you have a good chance of me being interested in writing a review.
