Canon has unveiled its hotly anticipated wide aperture super-telephoto zoom lens. It’s the Canon RF 100-300mm f/2.8 L IS USM (buy here) and costs a whopping $9,499. With this kind of price tag, Canon doesn’t really need to say that it’s “aimed directly at professional and very high-end video and still-image users”, although they said […]
Nikon has announced its widest APS-C lens for Nikon Z mount mirrorless cameras. The Nikon Nikkor Z DX 12-28mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ VR (buy here), as all of the letters in its name suggest, is a an APS-C (DX) lens, with Power Zoom (PZ) and Vibration Reduction (VR – or optical image stabilisation in generic terms).

I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with monopods. To be fair, mostly hate. This is due to the very reasons that YC Onion’s new carbon fibre Pineta monopod (buy here) addresses. Mostly, it’s the fact that you have a leg assembly comprised of multiple parts, and each needs to be unlocked and locked again manually […]
DJI recently announced the new DJI Inspire 3 drone (buy here). While we are at NAB 2023, we couldn’t pass the chance to see it in person and find out more about it. So, we spoke with Creative Director and senior product manager for DJI Europe, Ferdinand Wolf on the DJI booth to find out […]
Follow-focus units have been around for a long time. Over the last few years, we’ve seen many of them pop up from quite a few companies. Particularly manual follow-focus units. You’d think that by now, it’d be pretty difficult to innovate and do something a little different, right? Well, SmallRig’s taken up that gauntlet and […]
I don’t enjoy my Zenit camera (it keeps chewing up film) but the lens that comes with it (the Helios 44/2) is legendary for it’s surreal swirly bokeh, so is an excellent choice to adapt. It’s often cheaper to buy the camera and steal the lens than buy a copy of the lens. Why make […]
Photographers think a lot about how to make money, but saving it (or wealth management) is a different matter altogether. It’s something that presents a unique challenge for many freelance photographers who don’t collect a regular paycheck or have employer-sponsored retirement plans. Saving can be even tougher when there’s always some new piece of equipment, software, or […]
Unfortunately, if you use the internet for work, you probably already know that new scams and scammers pop up every day. Recently, I’ve seen the rise in popularity of a new scam targeting photographers. I don’t want to see anyone, especially other photographers, being scammed out of their hard earned money. If you’ve ever heard […]
Zhiyun started expanding out into LED lights a little while ago now, but their range is still quite small. Last month, Zhiyun announced that they were expanding their lighting range but sticking with small, with the new Molus G60 and X100 LED lights. And by “sticking with small”, I mean that these lights are tiny. […]
The James Webb Telescope captured two galaxies merging together to form one enormous “smash-up” brighter than a trillion suns. It is, in fact, an infrared capture of the birth of a star. Catchily known as Arp 220, this spiral of two galaxies was captured by Webb’s onboard Near Infrared camera, the NIRCam, and the Mid-Infrared […]
