Photography News: Fuji X100VI and a Lot of Lens Announcements
In last week's Photography News, I mischievously let you guess which lens I used for my opening photo. The mysterious and somewhat unusual lens was successfully identified as a spotting scope for bird sighting. Today, I have a similar challenge for you, only the answer this time is a little...
Photography News: A 10mm Full-Frame Lens, Canon and Nikon Sales
An interesting software program (a review of which you will soon be able to read) prompted me this week to dive into the greatest depths of my archives. Our fascination with modern technology sometimes makes us forget that how often great photos were taken with - by today's standards -...

Photography News: First Laowa AF Lens, Tradeoffs of a Global Shutter
The first week of the year is over, and I completely forgot to make any New Year's resolutions. But as they say: better late than never. So, I grabbed a pen and paper and wrote them down. "Lose a few kilos, photograph a Black-breasted Puffleg, and write more lens and...
Photography News: Highlights from 2023, Looking to 2024
