Over the past 12 months, Sony has had some massive camera announcements, along with a slew of important new lenses for their ever-expanding E-mount mirrorless system. Hot on the heels of late 2023’s announcement of the a9 III, Sony has ridden this wave of innovation throughout 2024, with a late year crescendo happening again via a new flagship and speedy new premier zoom.

2023 was a blockbuster year for Nikon, so it's not surprising that their 2024 was more mellow. And by mellower, I mean they only released two cameras, three lenses, announced the development of a cine-focused zoom, and acquired a major cinema camera manufacturer. For a (relatively) quiet year, Nikon is certainly building anticipation for the future while still stoking the Z-system flames with several important announcements in 2024.

Third-party lenses—those made by a brand other than the camera manufacturer—present a wide variety of creative opportunities and fiscal benefits. Though there are certain sacrifices with some third-party options, such as mount availability and autofocus/electronic compatibility, more often than not, you’re rewarded with benefits you can’t achieve with in-system, first-party lenses—for example, a different take on the size and speed of a particular

In some sense, photographers are easy people for whom to shop. An entire store (B&H Photo!) exists so that others can bestow amazing gifts on their photographer loved ones. But, in another sense, photographers can be very good at shopping for themselves (at B&H Photo!) and that makes gift-giving to a photographer a challenge.
We asked some B&H staff, members of the B&H Creative Partnership team, and B&H affiliates what was the best photography-related gift they ever received. These are some of their responses.

1950s America proved fertile ground for photographers Robert Frank and Todd Webb, who both received Guggenheim Foundation grants to traverse the country in 1955 and record their respective visions. While Frank’s resulting book, The Americans, eventually made him a legend, Webb’s photographs remained unpublished, and were all but lost to history due to a 1970s-era business deal gone bad.
The saga of Webb’s unaccounted-for archive and its eventual recovery is one of the juicier tidbits from today’s show, which focuses on the long-awaited

A photographer’s gift is to record his or her encounters with the world in pictures. If that photographer meets with success, pictures from their archive are published in magazines and books, exhibited in museums and galleries, licensed for commercial use, and sold as prints. With careful planning, these images have a life that endures well beyond that of the artist, through the continuing efforts of a legacy keeper.
Such is the relationship between the trailblazing work of 20th-Century photographer Ruth Orkin and the ongoing endeavors
