Markhof Pro
2.0 Gloves
● £65 ● http://www.photo
graphygloves.com
If you’re after an
excellent pair of gloves to
keep your hands warm
during cold winter
shoots, look no further.
With a merino wool liner,
thinsulate insulation and
weather-proofed fabrics,
you’re guaranteed
comfort and warmth,
along with excellent grip.
Fingertips can be folded
back and there’s even a
pocket for an SD card or
lens cloth. They’re a slim
fi t so we’d recommend
going up from your
usual size.
Think Tank Photo
Tr ifect a 8
●£70 ●www.
thinktankphoto.com
This bag has all the space a mirrorless
camera owner needs for a day’s shooting. Expect to be
able to fi t a mirrorless camera with a mounted lens, and
two or three additional lenses.
It sits comfortably on
your back and has
well-placed,
supportive
padding. For
hiking, the
Trifecta 8 is
small, light and
comfortable,
and for city
shooters it won’t
get in the way on
busy streets or
public transport.
Though it’s not a
new design, it makes
a brilliant choice if
you’re working to a
sub-£100 budget.LEE Filters 100 Holder
●£79 ●www.leefi lters.com
Earlier this year LEE Filters renewed its fi lter holder for
the company’s popular 100mm system. If you regularly
change fi lter-slot confi gurations in the fi eld, want a
polariser that clips on easily at the front and you like the
sound of having a locking ring with three settings –
neutral, half lock and full lock – it makes a good buy. It’s
compatible with all existing LEE Filters 100mm fi lters
and is both lightweight and strong. It received a
four-star rating and our recommended award when
we reviewed it in May.Tenba DNA 10 messenger bag
●£99 ●www.tenba.com
A small, messenger-style bag, the Tenba DNA 10 is
designed for a mirrorless system, plus tablet. Made
from premium-quality materials, right down to the
Whisper Hook closure used for the fl ap (allowing you to
open the bag almost silently – great for wedding or
wildlife photographers), the bag has magnetic clips that
snap into position without you having to look at what
you’re doing. The camera compartment has three
sections, for a camera with lens attached, and two
lenses either side. Inside the main compartment is a
zipped pocket, and smaller pockets for accessories.

vouchers from TimeLine Events would make a great gift
for a photographer. It organises some of the best
