Photography News

I’m going to preface this by saying that this isn’t a lens review article, there are many photographers better suited for this topic, so if you’re after refraction index comparisons and chromatic aberration charts this article probably isn’t for you.

This article is, however, my personal thoughts on three Nikon zoom lenses and their resulting images but also a broader look at how we as photographers covet lenses and other photographic... more

Edelkrone has launched Wing, a non-motorized sliding armature that attaches to a tripod and glides a camera in a straight line without rails.  Wing has a total gliding range of 40cm / 16in and is made from CNC machined lightweight aluminum. According to Edelkrone, Wing is designed to stay out of the shot at all points.

When collapsed, Wing measures 147 x 45 x 66cm / 5.7 x 1.7 x 2.6in and weighs 0.54kg / 1.2lb. The unit features a 3/8-16 mounting port on the bottom and a... more

Unless you have the dough to get a lab scanner, it is a painful process to scan your own film. Luckily one day all the photo labs dumped their Pakon F-135 to the market, and I remember you could get one for ~$250 a pop.

It was the best thing happened to those who want to scan their 35mm film at 5 min each roll, and the quality was excellent. For anything larger than 35mm, the best you can do is probably something like an EPSON v700/800 or a dedicated Nikon... more

Disclaimer: This ain’t a guide to Pokemon Go.1. Everybody Starts Somewhere

By the time I began my Pokemon Go journey, others much more experienced than I was had been levelling up their characters and Pokemon. As I inspected each Gym, I saw exotic Pokemon with CP1500+. There was no chance in hell that I could compare.
