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,...

For many months now, we’ve worked with wildlife photographer Libor Vaicenbacher here at Photography Life, and you’ve already seen his weekly news articles and his great work on the Nikon Z9 review.

Photography News: Nikon Lens Sale, Leica 35mm Film Camera
I promised you a flood of vivid colours from the (neo)tropics of Ecuador. But the image I shared with you in the last Photography News was completely black and white, so I'll try to fix it now. I guess I'll never get tired of photographing hummingbirds. Their frenetic activity at...
Nikon Z Is Getting a 70-300mm Lens! (From Tamron)
Tamron has announced their first-ever lens for the Nikon Z system (not counting the Nikon Z 28-75mm f/2.8 that was… heavily inspired, let’s say, by Tamron’s version of the lens). It’s a 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3, the same as their existing Sony E lens, and it fills one of the most glaring holes in Nikon’s lens lineup.
Photography News: Hasselblad X2D Rumor, Hard Drive Sales
My Ecuador expedition is over. It's time to sort out the memories and also the photographs. What I love about traveling are the places that provide the eyes with different flavors than they normally experience. Such as the scene of fishermen in Puerto López bringing out their night catch from the...
Photography News: Tamron 20-40mm Lens, Leica Discount
If any place in the world can be described as the global epicentre of biodiversity, is it the village where I am writing this Photography News for you? I'm sitting on a covered terrace in Mindo, Ecuador, rain drumming on the tin roof above me, sipping jugo de Guanábana and...
Photography News: Sigma Art Lenses, Memory Card Sale
Since Libor is traveling in South America, I'm filling in for him on this week’s Photography News. In fact, I just returned from a trip myself: I was in the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park, finishing our field tests of the Nikon Z9! One feature of the camera that...
Photography News: Nikon Lens Firmware, Sony Sales
I'm writing today's "Photography News" under unusual circumstances. At the moment, I am moving at around 900 km per hour, it's freezing outside the window, and in front of me - somewhere in the distance beyond Atlantic - lies South America. In about six hours, I will step off the...
Photography News: Sigma Sensor Rumor, Nikon Lens Price Raise
As photographers, do you have a dream image that you would like to capture? A photo that you have in your head and can't make it real? Every time I finally sit on a plane, calm down and switch into travel mode, images rush through my head. My dream photo...
