The Fujifilm GFX 50S is one of the most talked-about recent camera launches, and for good reason. Announced at Photokina last year, it's Fujifilm's first medium-format camera since the days of film.

It's based around a familiar 51.4MP sensor, uses a new G-mount and offers weather sealing. With its late February launch imminent, we've just taken delivery of a production... more

The updated roadmap positions the 'Ultra Wide Angle Zoom' fractionally to the left of the existing 10-24mm F4 R OIS (15-36mm equiv), suggesting it's likely to cover a similar range but presumably with a different aperture value. Meanwhile... more

Sigma is undoubtedly, tantalizingly on fire. Their Art series lenses consistently undercut and outperform the competition, as they proved yet again by manufacturing an 85mm f/1.4 lens that is not only $600 cheaper than Sony’s top-of-the-line 85mm GM, but... more

I miss India. The explosions of bold colour alongside subtle, pastel textures and hues. The juxtaposition lurking on every corner. The peoplefriendly, welcoming and warm. The insane city streets and the almost forgotten village walkways.

My good friend Sachin (founder of ARC and fellow 8Street photographer) and I spent two weeks exploring Rishikesh, Jaipur, Haridwar and Pushkar. We stayed off the worn tourist paths and delved into the genuine, lively and oftentimes frantic... more
