[embedded content] Vintage glass shooter and photography YouTuber Mathieu Stern recently got the chance to try Lomography’s special LomoMod No.1 cardboard film camera and special liquid-filled lens—an ostensibly “fun” combination that turned out to be a nightmare for Stern, who has dubbed it “the worst camera I ever tested.” Lomography’s quirkier cameras have never been

A Hong Kong-based company called “NONS” has created a M42-mount ILC that can be used to shoot Fujifilm Instax Mini film. They’re calling it the world’s first M42 mount SLR instant camera, and it allows shooters to pair easy-to-find Fuji Instax film with much-beloved (and often very cheap) classic M42 lenses.

[embedded content] Ever wonder what it would be like to use a high-end telephoto prime to shoot portraits? Daniel and Rachel of Mango Street have, and so they decided to rent the $12,000 Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS III USM IS lens and take it for a joy ride shooting their particular style of urban
Canon released a new kit lens for the RF Mount tonight. The new RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM promises to be an affordable and versatile lens for photographers who love the new EOS R system, but don’t want to spend more on a lens then they did on their camera body. One of the main
Last night we got our first official glance at Canon’s vision for their future in the R5 development announcement, and it looks to finally be an example of full-frame mirrorless taken seriously. In a morning discussion here at PetaPixel, the question was raised: why did Canon just now decide to wake up? I have a

I used to work for Nikon cameras. From 1995 through 1999, I was Nikon UK’s Senior Photographic Advisor. My job was basically to be the guy in the building who knew what a camera was for! The job was the best for a while and I got to work with and meet many talented people.

When it comes to technology, consumers have been conditioned to expect notable feature changes with version numbers increases. The iPhone 11 Pro, for example, not only included the snappier A13 Bionic chip, it also sported a three lens array and significantly better low light performance. Back in September 2019, Nikon made a development announcement of
Vazen is a newcomer to the world of lenses, with its Micro Four Thirds lenses first spotted during Cine Gear Expo last year in Los Angeles. There, they showed off three lenses at 28mm, 40mm and 65mm focal lengths. The 40mm T2 1.8x Anamorphic lens was launched at the end of June 2019, and now
The OM-D E-M1 Mark III was the big release of the night for Olympus, but the company also had two other products up its sleeve. The first is the surprisingly compact 12-45mm f/4 PRO lens; the second the PEN E-PL10 camera that was already released in Asia four months ago. Admittedly, the largely-unchanged Olympus PEN
For his latest project, Iranian photographer and camera maker Alireza Rostami collected 35mm film canisters and used them to construct the bodies of medium format and large format cameras. The project is called “Unity Camera.” “I always kept those film canisters,” Rostami tells PetaPixel. “35mm film canisters remind me of memories and they always have
It seems Tamron is going to have a busy 2020.

The revelation is included in a lens roadmap graphic, which lists all of the new lenses
Tamron has recently released its 2019 financial report, and there was an interesting piece of information hidden within it. Other than the already launched 20mm f/2.8, it looks like the company will launch three more lenses for Sony E in 2020. Tamron announced that it would launch two new lenses in 2020: the 20mm f/2.8
During Fuji’s London 2020 X Summit that is streaming live as we write this, Fuji revealed that they are planning to add a 400MP “pixel shift” mode for the GFX 100 medium format mirrorless camera, and showed off the “world’s fastest lens with AF.” Fuji didn’t reveal much about the upcoming feature. The engineers brought
Light – the most important thing in photography. Without it, we have nothing but darkness. Some of us like to capture and bend the natural light to our needs. While others love to craft a scene with artificial lights. If you love adding in your own light then its a nice time to be a
After many accurate rumors and leaks over the past couple of weeks, Fujifilm has officially unveiled the long-awaited X100V: a fixed-lens APS-C camera with a redesigned lens, the latest generation of X-Trans sensor, a 2-way tilting rear LCD screen, “optional” weather resistance, and much more. The new Fujifilm X100V is replacing the X100F that came
I get asked a lot by people about equipment and settings, photoshop editing, and all manner of ‘technical stuff’. I also get asked a lot about what my top advice is for taking better pictures, and the answer is not in a plugin or a shiny new camera. I find it funny that as photographers,
[embedded content] Understanding light, how it works, and the effect it can have on your subject is one of the fundamental principles of photography. It basically determines how everything in every photograph you will ever shoot appears to the camera. One of the basic foundations of light is understanding its “quality”. Part of that quality
Fujifilm pulled an Apple at the end of the London 2020 X-Summit stream today with “one more thing.” After revealing the X100V, teasing the much-anticipated XF 50mm f/1.0 lens, and more, the company announced that it would be unveiling the Fuji X-T4 on February 26th. The announcement came at the very end of the stream,
Fujifilm’s X Summit in London happened yesterday, which kicked off with some talk about their GFX medium format mirrorless camera system. After talking about some new and upcoming lenses, like the recently announced GF 45-100mm f/4, Fujifilm announced that they’re planning to introduce a 400-megapixel “pixel shift” mode to the Fujifilm GFX 100.

On my last shift at the film lab in Bondi, I picked up one of the last rolls of Fujifilm ACROS film. It seemed poignant — as my job at the shop was finishing, so too was the production of this film stock. The product’s discontinuation in March last year seemed to mark the death
Historically, Sony has jumped onto just about every bit of consumer tech (and even led the way sometimes) as soon as it appeared on the market. Anything that looked like it was going to be wildly popular, they wanted a piece of that pie. So it’s surprised me that they haven’t jumped right into the
