Founded more than one hundred years ago, Leica has become one of the most recognizable and significant brands in all of photography. Much of this recognition is because of the M series of rangefinder cameras and their proliferation among well-known photographers as one of the most effective tools for capturing intimate scenes, due to their compact size and high quality. Cartier-Bresson, Eisenstaedt, and countless other shooters created some of the most iconic

Sony introduced the original Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 in June 2012, and since that time the company has unleashed four updated models, each one an improvement over the last. What’s interesting is that all five versions of Sony RX100-series cameras are still available on the B&H website

Sigma is increasingly being viewed as the maker of the best third-party lenses on the market, but what is often overlooked is that the company makes cameras, too—and not just any camera, but perhaps, the oddest-looking point-and-shoot cameras around. Since this article series is called “Things We Love,” I’m forced to admit that I love the things most people ignore—or worse—ridicule, and the dp series certainly falls into both of those categories. However, it is not simply due to their outsider status that I have embraced them, but it also has

If anybody can tell you about the ins and outs of shoulder-bag design, it’s a mail carrier. Every day, these intrepid couriers get to haul around Lord knows how many pounds of real mail, junk mail, and those awful freebie newspapers that most of us toss into the recycling bin or use for lining the bottom of a bird cage.
Experienced photographers can also tell you a thing or two about shoulder bags. Speaking as a shooter who has purchased more bags than I want to admit (and I can justify purchasing all of them!) I can’t tell you how many times

One thing that many “tough” point-and-shoot cameras provide that DSLR or mirrorless camera cannot, without the addition of a specific macro lens, is close-up macro photo capability. There are some very affordable point-and-shoot cameras with macro function that enable simplified close focus with just a turn of a dial. While these macro functions are available on many compact point-and-shoots and are often recognized by a symbol of a flower, I prefer the ones available on the rugged, waterproof style of point-and-shoots.
In general, I use “

Sometimes the best lens isn’t necessarily the best lens. This statement rings especially true for me and my newest favorite lens, the unfortunately discontinued Voigtländer Color Heliar 75mm f/2.5. Since picking it up a little more than a year ago, this tiny, modest portrait-length lens has practically lived on my camera and seen more use than I could have ever expected. And despite nothing especially spectacular about it at all, I

It has taken me a while, but, over the course of many years I’ve come to understand what makes die-hard Leica lovers tick. Craftsmanship is certainly part of the reason. All of Leica’s M (digital and analog), Q, CL, and TL-series cameras are manufactured in Germany, from brass and metal alloys and plastic parts—only where it makes sense to use plastic. Although Leica’s newer digital cameras are the driving force behind the company’s very existence, analog film cameras remain the theology behind the company’s mission statement.

There are so few times when you pick up an accessory and it completely changes the experience of taking photographs. One of those moments was when I first found the custom-designed Really Right Stuff base plate for my a7R II. This

Leica’s latest digital rangefinder camera—the Leica M10—is an undeniable derivative of the Leica M3, a revolutionary film camera first introduced in 1954. Place an M3 or, for that matter, any Leica M-series film camera side-by-side with an M10 and you can’t help but notice how faithful the flagship digital camera is to its film-based ancestor in terms of design and functionality. Better yet—the M10 accepts almost

Panasonic made waves for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) videographers earlier this year with the video powerhouse Lumix DC-GH5. The soon-to-be-released Lumix DC-G9 presents an equally impressive camera for MFT still shooters. The flagship body will be accompanied by a 400mm equivalent super-telephoto prime, the

If I were to speak about the Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD lens to a friend, this is what I would say: It works very, very well, is lightweight and sleek, and is an incredible value. If you earn a paycheck shooting the Super Bowl, this is not the lens for you and if you are a pro wedding photographer, look to an f/2.8 or f/4 telephoto zoom, but for enthusiast wildlife and sports shooters, who also take the

It’s not news that instant film has been booming once again in recent years, and 2017 has proven to be a hallmark year for the genre, with new cameras and films being introduced. With a niche that has gone from near extinction to one of the most popular and fun format of photography today, and the subsequent overwhelming number of options on the market today, here’s a look at everything there is to offer.
The Cameras
While all grouped into the genre of instant-film photography, we can further split this into two sub-genres: instax and Polaroid
