Photos bring history to life like nothing else does. You may recall Andy Saunders’ magnificent restoration of NASA’s photos from the Apollo missions, using modern digital image processing to reveal a clarity not seen before. Well, he’s done it again, with the earlier Mercury and Gemini missions. Much closer to home we visit a fascinating project honouring British mining heritage. We also test Leica’s first M-series camera with an electronic viewfinder; and the newest-generation Nikon 24-70 f/2.8
