Many thanks to Spencer for taking over Photography News for me while I was in the forests of Ecuador. The news on my mind these last few weeks has been a bit more localized. For example, a juvenile Harpy Eagle in the forests near Loreto, Ecuador, is doing well. Toucans...

Our Lens Testing Survey Results
Last week, I posted a survey asking what lens reviews you most wanted to see at Photography Life. The survey received many more responses than I expected: 657 before I closed it! I’ve tallied up the responses and now have a clear idea what lenses we’re going to review next.
Photography News: Nikon 35mm f/1.2 Rumor, SanDisk Sale
It’s fall color season right now in Colorado! Just going outside is enough to make me feel refreshed and relaxed. It’s a slower time of year for photography news, but a few interesting things still happened this week. When I’ve had time away from the aspens, here’s what I’ve found for you.
Our Lens Tests Are Back! What Should We Review First?
The title says it all – our new lens testing studio is operational! There’s a long list of lenses in front of me to review, and only so many days in a year. So, I’d love to hear what you want to see us review first at Photography Life.
Photography News: New Mirrorless Lenses, Big Canon Sale
There are some subjects that I could keep photographing forever and never feel bored. My favorite might be the abstract patterns of sand dunes – small in size compared to a grand landscape, but no less striking. To me, finding hidden compositions in the desert is like searching for buried treasure.
Photography News: Laowa 2x Macro Lens Announced, MacBook Pro Sale
For the next couple of weeks, I’ll be writing our weekly news in place of Libor as he travels to – you guessed it! – South America. I understand that he has some of the backordered Nikon Z telephotos with him, so keep an eye out for reports on those lenses when he returns. Now for the news!
Nikon Z 17-28mm f/2.8 Announced – And Nikon’s Strategy Grows Clearer
A second rebranded Tamron lens is coming to the Nikon Z system – this time, an ultra-wide. When the rumors started last week, some photographers hoped that DX would see a bit of love with an adapted Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8, but instead, the lens announced today is the Nikon Z 17-28mm f/2.8.
Photography News: Rumored Nikon Lenses, Nikon Trade-In Event
This landscape was one of the first things I photographed with my new Nikon Z 24-120 mm f/4 S lens. A really great lens for traveling, by the way. Can you tell what volcano is in the photo? I'll give you a hint! The horses grazing so idyllically around the...
Photography News: DxO Sale, Canon Lens Rumors
Before we get into the news of this week, let me ask you a question. How do you prepare for a photographic expedition? For example, I clean my equipment, charge all my batteries, and sharpen my machete – but most importantly, I study the resources available to get the most out of the place I’m going.
Big Fuji Announcements: X-H2 Camera, 2 Lenses, & Grip
Fujifilm just announced perhaps its most anticipated camera of the year, the 40-megapixel X-H2. With 20 FPS stills, 8K video, and subject-detection autofocus, the Fuji X-H2 aims to be a serious APS-C alternative to cameras like the Nikon Z9 and Sony A1 — but for $2000 instead of $5500+. Alongside the X-H2,...
