BEST COLOUR MANAGEMENT SOLUTION

1ST PRIZE Samyang 18mm f/2.8 lens Sony FE fit Worth £349 Setting new standards in wide- angle lenses, Samyang’s latest lens weighs in at a mere 145g, yet gives a field of view of 100° on Sony full- frame cameras. Its wide viewmakes it ideal for travel, confined interiors and street work. The lens design boasts nine elements in eight groups for optimal image quality, and uses a linear stepper motor for smooth and precise autofocusing.

2ND PRIZE Cokin Z-Pro Expert Kit Worth £319

3RD PRIZE Crumpler Creator’s Algorithm backpack Worth £160 Top bag brand Crumpler is a renowned expert at successfully combining style, functionality and usability, and its Creator’s Algorithm backpack is typical. It will take a pro DSLR with three lenses, flashgun and accessories, plus a 13in laptop, and there are fittings for a tripod, too. To cope with adverse conditions, the bottom is reinforced and waterproofed.

4TH PRIZE Velbon UT-3AR tripod Worth £85

For the second name drawn at random, the reward is this comprehensive filter kit from leading creative filter brand Cokin. The kit contains the Z-Pro filter holder, four adapter rings (67, 72, 77 and 82mm) and three essential filters: ND4, 2EV neutral density hard graduate and 3EV neutral density hard graduate. It’s a great kit to get you on the way to excellent filter photography.

The Velbon UT-3AR tripod comes with a ball and socket head, and this lightweight combination is solid enough to give 3kg of camera kit stable support. It fully extends to reach 1.35m and the five-section legs feature Velbon’s ultra-fast twist locking system. For low-level shooting, the centre column can be removed and inverted.
