Is it possible that one of the greatest mechanical film cameras of all time was born in the Digital Age? Yep. The year was 2001, and the photography world was in the semi-early throes of the digital revolution. The Nikon D1 was released in 1999 and the D1X was already in the stores when a manual focus mechanical film camera appeared on the shelf next to it in camera shops around the world. The Nikon FM3a looked like an antique on the store shelves next to the monstrous D1X digital flagship, fully battery powered autofocus film cameras

Every time I pick up the infrared camera rig I use to photograph New York City at night, I can’t resist quoting Tony Montana’s iconic words from the movie, Scarface: “Say hello to my little friend!” The reason for this is that the Sunpak 622 Super Pro Flash, when combined with an infrared head, Wein Safe-Sync Hot Shoe to Hot Shoe with PC

I’ve never been a huge fan of converting digital images to black-and-white. My photo background is strongly tied to black-and-white film, and the black-and-white look is something I’ll always associate with film. In my opinion, digital images converted to black-and-white look… processed. Despite this, my curiosity was piqued by the Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) Digital Rangefinder Camera. A digital camera that shoots in black-and-white? This is

Lenses come and lenses go… a lot like love. Also, like love, when you've found a lens that gives you that hard-to-define feeling of joy, comfort, and satisfaction, you should shout it to the world. For me, that lens is the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM Art Lens. It's not that the Sigma is better than other available lenses, it's just the right lens for me.
I'm a Nikon DSLR shooter, and have been for some time. I'm also a working photographer and, by

I’ll admit I have a penchant for doing things the hard way, but I’m convinced that this often presents greater rewards if you have enough patience. Last year, I waxed poetic on the Sony a7R II as a “Thing I Love,” and it was. But at the end of that article I wrote, “It’s still not my perfect camera…” Well, one year later, I’ve since sold the a7R II, upgraded to a Sony a7R III, sold that, and, apparently, had a mid-life crisis and

There are many reasons to ignore the Sony FE 100mm F2.8 STF GM OSS Lens. It could be that it’s not practical. It’s slow. It’s pricey. It has a lo-o-o-ong name. Despite these potential pitfalls, the 100mm leverages a unique optical design to deliver breathtaking bokeh and outstanding sharpness. This performance has made the 100mm STF one of the most used lenses in my kit.
What makes this 100mm special is its use of Smooth Trans Focus

Here, there, and everywhere… like most people, I tote my cell phone with its integrated camera with me almost everywhere I go. For grabbing snapshots and quick videos to share easily with friends and family, you really can’t beat its convenience. And I love that I can bump up the quality of my mobile photos with my add-on x2 telephoto and x0.6 wide-angle Zeiss Exolenses.
Here are three views of the Sunnyside Rail Yards with the 2x telephoto lens really standing out from the standard phone capture.

Doing what I do for a living, I get to shoot with a wide range of cameras, lenses, and photo accessories on a regular basis, and I’ve been doing it for a while. Something that I’ve recognized for quite some time is how quickly our “latest-and-greatest” cameras become “obsolete,” thanks, in part, to evolving technologies combined with ever-clever marketing and our innate need to possess the latest and greatest of everything.
Unlike digital cameras, new, state-of-the-art analog cameras remained both new and state of the art for five, ten, or

When I first set out to create the portraits for “What is Photography?” I was faced with the challenge of building a series of photographs that shared a recognizable aesthetic, despite being made over the course of several months, working with many different personalities. The solution that producer John Harris and I came up with was to establish a set of controls that would secure a consistent look while still permitting me to create an expressive portrait for each person

Throughout my career as a film photographer, I’ve gone through numerous favorite films. With the unfortunate, yet consistent, demise of some of my favorites over the years, I’ve had to re-adjust and adapt to new films. While nothing can ever replace my true all-time beloved film (Kodak Tri-X 320, in 220) since it’s discontinuation, I’ve learned to love Kodak T-Max 400 as my go-to choice for pretty much anything and everything. It’ll never have

Canon isn’t new to the mirrorless game, but one thing arguably lacking from its comprehensive lineup has been a full-frame mirrorless camera. In late 2018, that spot was filled with the introduction of the Canon EOS R; the latest camera in both Canon’s mirrorless and EOS lineup.

Despite several semi-successful attempts at purging my archive of more than four decades of color slides and negatives, I still have a good number of analog images I need to digitize and archive. After completing this process, except for maybe 10% of my very, very best negatives and slides, I plan on bagging the lot and hauling it off to a nearby shredding center.
I parted with my darkroom long ago. I’ve since had a few spins around the block with a succession of film and flatbed scanners, but these days the only way I can view film images is
