Newswear available at Snapperstuff.co.uk

My favourite Newswear pouches and Chestvests are now available to European photographers from the Snapperstuff website.  The range has been expanded and some items redesigned.  My personal favourite is the new Body Press Pouch designed to take a single Eos1D or Nikon D2x camera body on its own.  The site also sells Brando's excellent screen protectors which I use on all my Canon digital bodies to protect the LCD screen. 

The site also notes the Fixation in London also now stock Newswear.

New Newswear products in the UK

I'm informed by my partner Helen that she has limited stocks of the new Newswear super long lens pouch for 70-200 with shade fitted and the new Flashgun pouch.  For those who are unfamiliar with these products they are the "standard" photo vests and pouches for many US news photographers and are rapidly gaining popularity here in the UK.

Both of these as well as the Vests and raincovers can be ordered here. 

Brando Screen Protectors

I've just ordered a couple of Brando screen protectors http://shop.brando.com.hk/ultraclearscreenprotector.php which are now available to fit the Epson RD-1 as well as my new Ipaq HX4700.  These protectors are supposed to be some of the best on the market, and come in all shapes and sizes with most Nikons and Canons catered for.
This is a Hong Kong firm that ships the protectors for free worldwide.  They say it may take up to 15 days to deliver though!  I will review them when they arrive.
