2011 winner of compact camera of the year...

Here's one from work, Neil our photography manager was taking pictures of some small pieces of Jade and glass. He decided to use the studio camera as all the movements mean that you can alter the focal plane... it's a bit of a beast and it takes a while to get used to, as there's no mirror, so everything is upside down and looks quite dark through the viewfinder, but it gives nice results.

Edit: Random geeky fact in response to the interest in the gloves... Neil isn't just a style guru... or a man with a strange fetish.. The delightful purple gloves are to protect objects, because any oils from the fingers can increase corrosion... we've got some objects where old fingerprints have almost etched into objects over time as the contact has caused these bits to deteriorated quickest... We use purple nitrile ones, cos they fit better and allow more sensitivity than the traditional white cotton gloves...It has nothing to do with me doing the purchasing and liking the colour purple...
