If you’ve ever tackled small-product photography, armed with the wrong tools, you know how challenging it can be to capture photos worth the time invested in taking them. Approaching small-product photography with the right tools is a whole other experience. Depending on your needs, the Savage Product Pro LED Light Table might very well be one of the right tools for the job.

Confession: I am a bag lady. I have a closet full of them. It’s not uncommon for me to roll into work with at least one for each arm as I schlep photography gear back and forth between Brooklyn and Manhattan daily. When I’m not traveling between boroughs, I’m traveling between states for work, and when I’m lucky, sneaking out of the country for pleasure. While the space and weight-defying magical Mary Poppins bag has yet to be invented, my collection of bags continues to grow as each one seems to serve a distinct purpose. My current collection

According to Tokina, “FíRIN” is a variation of an old Irish word Fírinne, which means “truth,” “what is real,”or “being true to someone or something.” Unlike the consumer-targeted offerings previously marketed by Tokina, FíRIN-series lenses are designed, manufactured, and marketed as premium-quality lenses that equal or surpass their name-brand counterparts in terms of build and image quality. (Think Sigma ART-series lenses.)

The Meyer Optik Gӧrlitz Trioplan 100 f/2.8 is a new lens with a long history. Dating back more than a hundred years, the Trioplan 100 is a triplet design which, as the name implies, only contains three lens elements. Why people would be interested in an optical dinosaur a century down the pike has to do with the quality of bokeh this lens produces.
Because of its three-element design and 15-blade iris, the Trioplan produces what Meyer Optik fanboys and

If you’d like to start taking professional-quality close-ups of the world around you without having to upgrade your existing camera and lens system or purchase a macro lens, you’re going to find this post quite agreeable.
Without pooh-poohing the imaging abilities of the flagship cameras from any of the major camera manufacturers, there’s little doubt the picture-taking abilities of entry-level DSLR and kit zoom packages costing 1/10 the price of the big boys can be quite impressive.

The Olympus Stylus Tough TG-5 has arrived and it is very, very good! The good news is that if you never picked up the very good Stylus Tough TG-4, you can now grab this feature-packed, rugged Tough TG-5 camera and go out shooting. The bad news is that if you have a Tough TG-4, there is now something even better on the market and you will probably want to upgrade.

Question: Is there a “best” format for shooting macro close-ups? If you tell me “full-frame,” I won’t argue with you. I’ve taken many fine macro close-ups with 4 x 5" studio cameras, medium-format cameras, APS-C, Micro Four Thirds, and even point-and-shoot cameras. And you know what? They’re all perfect in their own way.

Do larger-format cameras take sharper photographs? Yes. Do larger-format cameras allow for finer control over selective focusing? Yes again

While the “professional” 1D series may get the title of flagship DSLR, it is Canon’s 5D series that gets all the attention. With the release of the EOS 5D Mark IV a few months ago, we received a variety of highly anticipated new features, including a higher-resolution sensor, improved low-light performance and dynamic range, Dual Pixel technologies, and 4K video recording. So, what did I think after spending some time with the camera? Well, it’s an easy

For starters, how good is your job when you’re given an incredible lens—not yet available for purchase—and told to go play with it for the weekend? Answer: it’s pretty good. Even better is when that weekend coincides with a photo shoot aligned with that lens’s capabilities, in this case a concert in a small, dark club.

Zeiss continues to stun with the rate at which they pump out near-perfect glass, this time with the introduction of the Batis 135mm f/2.8 lens for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. Before jumping into our hands-on impressions, let me run through the core features and specs of this new lens. It is a relatively compact telephoto lens with an f/2.8 maximum aperture, an apochromatic Sonnar design, fast autofocus, and built-in optical

In the following video, David Flores discusses the Nikon COOLPIX P900 and its advantages, compared to a smartphone and an interchangeable-lens camera system. He looks at the huge 24-2000mm equivalent zoom range, along with various design details, including the vari-angle LCD screen, zoom adjustment controls, and the relatively lightweight and compact form factor that is ideal for everyday shooting. We hope you enjoy the video, and invite you to view the wide

Another year, another mid-range Nikon DSLR. Succeeding 2015’s D5500, 2017 has brought the newest iteration of the D5xxx series, with the D5600. This camera, and the series in general, is Nikon’s bread and butter, and represents a healthy mid-point in its DSLR lineup. It is not a top-of-the-line speed shooter, nor does it produce massive files, but it isn’t the most bare-bones model, either. What it is, though, is an impressively well-rounded

In the following video, photographer David Flores demonstrates the advantages of a dedicated filter system using the 100mm Firecrest Filter Holder Kit, from Formatt-Hitech. Flores first shows us the filter holder and how to use it, including its ability to accept two 100mm wide rectangular filters and an accompanying circular polarizer and be adapted to nearly every lens in your bag. Flores then provides a few examples
