Happy New Year! It isn’t often that AP gets to review a new film, but this week John Gilbey tries a new 35mm black & white emulsion from a brand more noted for its cameras – the Leica Monopan 50. Takes me back to my early days on AP! John also shares his verdict on the classic Leica MP film rangefinder. We also look at an inspiring selection of street photography, and profile up-and-coming young photographer Amanda Akokhia, who is making waves in the world of fashion.
