The X half is joyously silly. But it was critical to assess it for what it is, rather than trying to review it as a photographers' compact. We published our full review of the Fujifilm X half yesterday, and it was perhaps the hardest-to-write review I've ever worked on. dpreview.com »
I don't really like fisheye lenses. I've never found much use for them and find the surreal look of the images to be of limited utility. But that doesn't mean that I won't jump at the chance to give a new one a try. [Read More] petapixel.com »
Look, we get it — you’re trying to be practical, but also… creative. You want performance, but also value. You want to future-proof, but also afford groceries. The Canon R7 and Nikon Z8 are two very different cameras aimed at different shooters — but depending on your needs, either could be the right choice. canonrumors.com »

The Laowa 8-15mm f2.8 FF lens is one the most exciting lenses to be announced by the camera in years. I mean, come on? A fisheye zoom and it's got an f2.8 aperture? This lens, which I imagined would deliver in so many different ways, left me with milk when I asked for cream. To that end, I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed. thephoblographer.com »
I began shooting Kodak Color Plus 200 for this review in 2023 -- and without a doubt in my mind, this has to be the best color film for street photography. It simply has so much going for it. There's the beautiful colors, the muted but realistic tones, the grain, the depth, the way that it delivers images that look like familiar Portra but aren't, and the more affordable price tag. thephoblographer.com »
If you're a Canon user, then you might get what I'm talking about. But it really takes a unique kind of camera-lover to truly understand the ergonomic differences of one camera to another. When the Canon 5D Mk II was replaced with the 5D Mk III, it didn't feel right. thephoblographer.com »

I love it when photographers say something like, "It's not about the tech. " That's truly wrong -- a pinhole camera can't shoot sports in the same way that a Sony a9 III can.

When I first reviewed Leica LUX, I approached it with a blend of cautious optimism and healthy skepticism.
