PolarPro Mobile Filter System
Like many of you, I came to photography back in 35 mm film days. Nights (with others), in a darkroom gave me immense pleasure. The simplicities of mobile photography are extraordinary and you won’t find a bigger advocate of it because of this.

Mobile Photography – iPhone X – Reviewed – DxOMark
Just published by DxOMark, the iPhone X review makes interesting reading. “It’s exceptional for stills, achieving the best Photo sub-score yet at 101 points.
