A day shooting film around London with a 1950s Leica M2: no light meter, no automation, just the sunny 16 rule and the joy of waiting for the scans.

The Hasselblad H6D-100c is the flagship medium format camera from Hasselblad. Hasselblad loaned me one to photograph the London New Year’s fireworks, and while I had it, I put it to use.

The Ricoh GR II is a compact digital camera that redesigns Ricoh’s classic film cameras from 1996, made famous by the Japanese street photographer Daidō Moriyama.

The Hasselblad X1D 50c caused a lot of excitement as the world’s first mirrorless medium format camera. Hasselblad loaned me the system with a couple of lenses to try out in London and ringside at York Hall.

One night at York Hall, Bethnal Green, one round of professional boxing and one roll of Ilford Delta 3200 in a Leica M2. Why I left the autofocus at home, and what shooting film ringside taught me.
