Medium Format Film: Bronica SQ-Ai and Hasselblad 500 c/m
These are 2 very popular 6×6 medium format film cameras. Both have their pros and cons, and there are people that love each… I’d like to compare them, for both technical features and qualities, as […]

I’ve entered a new chapter of my photographic journey. For the past couple weeks, I’ve been testing some vintage lenses on my EOS R body. I’ve tried several different lenses, and today I’m going to […]
