Peak Design Tech Pouch
Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD
Organisation is an essential part of photography. No one wants to get out on location, only to find they’ve left some important bit of gear at home. Effortlessly organise your accessories – or help another photographer to do it this Christmas – with a Peak Design Tech Pouch. With outer handles and a clamshell-like opening, the outer is made from 200D recycled nylon canvas lining with a weatherproof finish and a clean design that lets it slip in and out of your bag with ease. Inside, there’s a mix of elastic loops and origami-style pouches to keep everything just where you need it. There are five colours, including black, sage, midnight, bone and charcoal, all coming with a lifetime warranty.
Exclusively available in Sony FE-mount, Tamron’s 28- 200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD is a high quality, adaptable travel zoom that brings almost any subject under its spell, from low-light landscapes to sport, wildlife and close-ups. At 575g, it’s lightweight and compact, but it still features a wide f/2.8
aperture at the short end, while f/5.6 at the long end provides subject separation. A minimum focusing distance of 19cm adds another string to its bow, and the lens has great image quality, thanks to its Low Dispersion and XLD eXtra Low Dispersion elements. A must for Sony users this Christmas.
As you upgrade your editing equipment or memory cards to faster models, it makes sense to renew your peripherals, too. With Lexar’s Professional Multi-Card 3-in-1 USB 3.1 Reader, you can use the latest generation of SD and MicroSD as well as CompactFlash cards, including UDMA 7. The USB 3.1 connection enables transfer speeds of up to 312MB/s for the former and 160MB/s for the latter. Naturally, it’s backwards-compatible with older cards and USB ports, too. A two-year limited warranty is included, and it looks great. Lexar Professional Multi- Card USB 3.1 Reader

Fujifilm X-S10
Hahnel Module Creative Lantern Kit
Fujifilm’s latest X Series body combines the impeccable image quality of the 26.1-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor, used in award-winning models like the X-Pro3, with a more DSLR-styled body, making it a genuine contender for anyone wanting to switch to mirrorless. The big change from previous cameras is the large handgrip, which makes the X-S10
feel very much like a small and lightweight DSLR, but with all the benefits of mirrorless, like an electronic viewfinder, high-speed shooting and advanced face and eye autofocus. Moreover, Fujifilm has included in- body image stabilisation, offering up to 6EV of compensation against camera shake.
Perhaps the most Christmassy flash modifier we’ve ever seen, Hahnel’s Module Creative Lantern Kit deserves a place on any festive
list. Fitting a wide range of speedlights, it’s a softening and diffusing modifier, making it a great fit for flattering indoor portraits this winter. The kit boasts the main lantern-shaped diffuser, six coloured gel filters, including green, blue, purple, red, orange and yellow, an adapter and a wallet to store it all in. Depending on your flash’s size, you may also need a Hahnel Module 360 or 600 magnetic clamp, which are sold separately, at £9.99. Compact and portable, the gels add lots of colour options to your work, so it’s definitely a useful piece of kit for your stocking.
