JP Morgan and Kenneth Merrill over at The Slanted Lens have put together an in-depth sensor size comparison that will definitely spark some conversation. They’ve compared medium format, full-frame, APS-C and Micro Four Thirds, in a side-by-side shootout—taking identical photos and making large prints to see how the image quality and dynamic range compares across […]

In this video, I’m going to put to rest this question once and for all: does sensor size affect depth of field? I’ll be physically taking pictures with a full-frame camera and a Micro 4/3 camera, and showing you the visual difference in a range of aperture settings. There are lots of theories and opinions […] petapixel.com »

It looks like Canon is getting into sensor sales. The three specialized CMOS sensors the company has been recently showing off—including a 120MP APS-H model and an ultra-low light sensor—have been listed for sale by special order through Canon, and through Phase 1 Technology Corp in the US. dpreview.com »

Some photographers like 50mm lenses. Others, like me, are bigger fans of the 35mm field of view. And now, we've got the new Nikon 50mm f1. 4 Z. This is an entry into the character lens lineup that the company offers.
The Nikon Z 135mm f1. 8 Plena is a lens that photographers have been going crazy for. Specifically, if you're a Nikon shooter, then you should be drooling over it. It can deliver beautiful image quality for sure and focuses very quick with the Nikon Z9 especially.
Fujifilm users know the secret is with the film simulations. At least with the Fujifilm X series, there's no denying the beautiful look that you can get from their cameras. But what's the best Fuji lens for portraits? Well, we've tested them all; and we've got a pretty great idea.
Yes! A true Nikon pancake lens is finally here. The Nikon Z 26mm f2. 8 is, perhaps to some, an odd focal length. But that's part of the charm. It's not a 28mm lens or a 24mm lens. But it's right in between.
I snuck away with Nikon for a few hours to play with a pre-production model of their new Nikon Z 85mm f1. 2 S lens. It's a lens previously announced in development and we hoped would have character.
Lots of photographers will only ever buy constant aperture zoom lenses. And if you're curious why, it's often because it makes their job so much easier. Why zoom in and out while having to change your settings? The problem is though that constant aperture zoom lenses tend to get very big.
What's the secret behind the Leica look? Well, besides their incredible lenses, it has to do with the way that photographers use their cameras. Admit it, sometimes you just end up browsing Reddit or Instagram to find photos shot on a Leica that you absolutely fall head over heels for.
