#MichaelStipe and #MirandaSawyer in conversation at the @icalondon on the publication of his first volume of photography. Interesting, complex man. Photos reflect this. #photography #jonathanberger

Belatedly forcing leather balsam into the straps of my intrepid #billingham550 even though it might be too late. Like many brilliantly-made things, it can survive anything but neglect. 25 years old, cost £149 from #Jessops in #Hanley. Still in production at an eye watering £529. Who would pay that much? No use as a #camera bag anymore but a cracking travel companion. #billingham #billinghambag #photography #leather

The gap between the 5D series and this camera is huge. It’s not measured on paper, but in places like this. Amazingly adjustable AF system for all manner of situations, and straight out of the box, will eat you alive. It took weeks to get anywhere near the results of my old 5D2, a camera that just works brilliantly straight away. The 1DX takes a lot of getting used to - it’s a big jump and anyone who thinks that the 5D III is anywhere near the performance of this camera based on specs is an idiot. Massive amounts of horsepower driving the lens AF system, vast processor power dedicated to image processing and the exposure gets a dedicated processor too. And this is all happening at 12-14 frames every second. This is the highest performing camera I’ve ever seen. God knows what the Mark II must be like. I nearly took the Leica upgrade offer from the M9 to the M, at around £2300, and the 1DX came in at about half that with the trade-in. And it’s a hundred times better than the Leicas. #canon #eos1dx #dslr #photography #
