A camera that makes you slow down — in a good way.
Our editors spent time with each product in everyday use: commuting, working and travelling. Here is what stood out.
Grainfield F1 Compact
A pocket camera with real dials and film color. The F1 has shutter, ISO and exposure dials on top and a set of film-inspired color profiles baked in.
- 24 MP APS-C sensor
- Physical exposure dials
- 12 film-style color profiles
- Fixed 28 mm f/2.8 lens
The verdict
If you only pick one, start with the Grainfield F1 Compact. It is the most complete package here and the one we kept reaching for.
