The world is changing fast, and those of us who started photography with film cameras have seen how the creative world evolves. But no matter your age, I’m sure you have, at some point, learned new skills from YouTube. I know I have. Be it photography, editing, arts & crafts, fixing a leaky faucet I’ve […]
Regular followers of my photography will know that as a general rule of thumb, I love the Viltrox 23mm F/1.4 and the Olympus 17mm F/2.8 (for my Olympus Pen E-PL8), both approximately 35mm focal length equivalents in full frame terms.

Canon has released a new v1.0.4.1 firmware update for the Canon EOS R5c (buy here), the cine-centric version of Canon’s EOS R5 mirrorless camera (buy here). It’s a pretty large firmware with a lot of updates. There doesn’t appear to be a single massive new feature, though. It adds support for many cinema lenses to […]
OM Digital has released two new cameras in Japan. Technically, they’ve released two new versions of two old cameras. Well, I say “old”. They’re the formerly known Olympus E-M1X (buy here), released in 2019, and the E-M1 Mark III (buy here), released in 2020. The first of those two was actually listed as discontinued at […]
According to research by Max Spielmann, the UK’s leading high-street photo printing chain, 92.5% of the countless millions of photographs shot today will be on smartphones.
