Recently, I was tasked with reviewing an excellent little analogue camera. Called the Alfie Tych+, it’s super cool, staggeringly tiny, beautifully designed and packs an incredible range of optics and creative options onto a slightly quirky rotating lens board. Everything from an f/156 pinhole to a 33.3mm (50mm full-frame equivalent) f/8 rapid rectilinear lens and a few others in between.
