PROGEAR SPOTLIGHT: Kodak Ultramax 400

The do-it-all film for creators on a budget. While Portra is the holy grail, Ultramax is a more affordable option that still punches well above its weight.

High saturation and contrast, lovely skin tones, and enough versatility to be almost effortless, this film is a jack of all trades.

PROGEAR SPOTLIGHT: Sigma dp2 Quattro

This is perhaps one of the weirdest cameras we’ve used. It’s also Aston’s favourite camera (he’s owned it three times).

With a low ISO tolerance, lack of viewfinder, and a quirky appearance, the Sigma dp2 Quattro is a camera for the esoteric. However, what you will get is an optically superb camera with an unparalleled sensor. Using a Foveon X3 Quattro sensor and incredible fixed lens, the files are like they were made in the world’s smallest medium-format camera.

If you are on the hunt for something unlike anything you have used before, then this is worth watching out for. This is a particular type of camera for a particular type of photographer (which is probably why Aston loves it so much).

PROGEAR SPOTLIGHT: Kodak Ektar H35 Half-Frame

Lightweight, affordable, and pure fun, this unit is the perfect place to start for those new to film or anyone wanting a new toy. You also get double the amount of exposures in each 35mm roll; the ultimate bang for your buck.

Using a battery only for the flash, the camera is otherwise fully mechanical with a set lens at f/8 and 1/100 shutter. While not a camera to use for high-art photography, this is ideal for festivals, gigs, or, in this case, a 60th birthday party.

PROGEAR SPOTLIGHT: Hasselblad X2D II 100C + XCD 35-100mm f/2.8-4

This camera needs no introduction.

With a 100MP sensor, true-to-life colour, and 10-stop stabilisation, the Hasselblad X2D II 100C is an unbeatable medium format powerhouse. It also eliminates the anxiety of running out of space by having a monstrous 1TB of internal storage. There is no stopping this beast.

Medium format shooting is easier than ever, and made even easier by renting from us. We have the X2D II 100C and three lenses to choose from, so you can take this for a joyride anytime!

PROGEAR SPOTLIGHT: Fujifilm X-T5

Proving to be a heavyweight in the crop sensor realm, the Fujifilm X-T5 packs a 40MP punch, giving you full-frame resolution in a portable, lighter body. It’s a true all-rounder.

Despite the high resolution, the camera keeps the Fujifilm character and your images never end up feeling too clinical or detached. You get the famous “Fuji look” from a weather-sealed workhorse, giving you a tactile experience and rich, detailed images.

It’s a dependable camera worthy of your trust, and the images speak for themselves.
