I feel for those of you who run around with cameras without a threaded shutter release. Why? Because you will never experience the pleasure of depressing a shutter release topped with the Nikon AR-11 Soft Shutter Release. Come to think of it, you won’t get to enjoy the Nikon AR-3 Threaded Cable Release that I waxed poetically

Confession time. Are you sitting down? My L-bracket obsession has gotten so bad that I recently purchased an L-bracket for a camera I didn’t yet own. In the photography world, many of us are afflicted by G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) but rarely does the disease progress to the point where you accessorize cameras you don’t own. My friends, I have disturbingly reached

The eyes might be the windows to the soul for most people, but they also serve as windows to lighting setups for astute portrait photographers. Catchlights reflected in the eyes of a sitter can reveal the size, shape, and placement of light sources in a photo. More importantly, catchlights provide a means of drawing attention to and adding dimension to a sitter’s eyes. Westcott’s Eyelighter 2 Reflective Panel presents a novel means

Wide-angle, mid-range, and telephoto zoom lenses that max out at f/2.8 throughout the zoom range are some of the most popular lenses among pros and enthusiasts alike. Not to short-change fixed focal length primes—the good Lord knows we love 'em, but there's good reason why camera and lens manufacturers make a point of showcasing their fast, fixed-aperture, full-frame f/2.8 zooms.
When Sigma first introduced its premium Global Vision Sports, Art, and Contemporary lens systems, the Holy Trinity of fast f/2.8 zooms was already on the roadmap. Now

Lately, Sigma has become quite well known and revered for its popular Art series of lenses for SLRs and Sony E-mount cameras. However, this isn’t to say Sigma hasn’t been innovating in other areas of its portfolio. Catering to the mirrorless shooter who values compactness without wanting to compromise on quality, “The Three Mirrorless f/1.4 Primes” represent Sigma’s answer to this desire. Comprising the 30mm f/1.4 DC DN, the

Once again, film continued to thrive in 2018, with several announcements garnering a great deal of attention and inspiring photographers to return to film or even shoot film for the first time. Defying digital’s omnipresence, film’s resurgence over the past few years shows promise to its indefinite availability in some form, and the re-releasing and expansion of popular media is inspiring regarding the overall enthusiasm being paid to these physical media. Following up on

One of the key selling points of Micro Four Thirds (MFT) camera systems has to do with weight and size, and even though most MFT camera bodies are barely (if at all) smaller or lighter than their APS-C and full-frame counterparts, lenses designed for MFT-format cameras are another story.
To illustrate our point, we chose an Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mk II camera, along with five fast Olympus Micro Four Third prime lenses (17mm f/1.2, 25mm f/1.8, 45mm f/1.2

Leica M-series rangefinder cameras are considered, by many, to be the quintessential camera. They are exquisitely designed, they’re hand assembled from the finest materials, and because Leica produces what are arguably the best lenses made, they’re capable of taking outstanding photographs. Still, it’s taken me close to 50 years to get my head wrapped around the idea of going out and taking pictures using a camera that doesn’t allow me to see exactly what the lens is seeing. Having a penchant for tight compositions, this drives me nuts,

Megapixels. Pixel pitch. Flange distance. Inner diameter. Sensor ratings. Video specs. Frame rates. When did photography leave the fun side of the island? Well, for one product category at B&H Photo, photography is still pure, exciting, organic, and freaking fun. If you want to escape from under the at-times-unbearable technological avalanche of digital photography, I have a solution for you: Holga and Lomography cameras. [Note: Millennials might be

Canon is the biggest camera maker in the world, so when the company execs feel it’s time to release a full-frame mirrorless camera, it must be a big deal. The EOS R is that camera, and though not the super-professional option many were expecting, it is a very capable prosumer choice that is a good sign of things to come for the nascent system.
The Specs and Image Quality
As the first model in a brand-new system, we should run through the basics
