What is the best lens for landscape photography? The answer is that any camera lens can and will be the perfect lens for capturing a landscape, depending on your viewpoint and the subject. But if a landscape photographer is heading out into the world with a single lens, betting money says they will go with a wide-angle zoom or prime lens affixed to their camera.

In a stunning reversal of fortune, point-and-shoot cameras—which have long been dismissed as defunct—are currently experiencing a major resurgence. In both new and used markets, sales of point and shoots are way, fueled in part by nostalgia and the perceived shortcomings of smartphone cameras. With expanded feature sets, manual exposure controls, built-in and/or external flash support, and optical

Most of our articles on cameras concern their performance, their features, what’s new, what they’re good for, and where they fit in a brand’s lineup, but it’s worth also considering a camera’s design and aesthetics. While it’s the definition of superficial judgement, thinking about how good a camera looks—how stylish it is—can affect your desire to use the camera. You might be more likely to reach for the camera that looks good, feels good, and is a joy to use and carry rather than a camera that outperforms on paper but isn’t enjoyable to work

Sometimes the longest telephoto lens in your bag still doesn’t deliver the reach you need. Yes, you can crop to get in tight enough on your subject, or deploy the proverbial foot zoom.

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

Though there aren’t any hard rules on the subject—and all rules are made to be broken—wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle lenses are often considered to be the go-to lenses for landscape photography. It’s not like you can’t capture wonderful landscapes with normal or telephoto lenses (you absolutely can), but due to their broad capture angles, wide- and ultra-wide-angle lenses usually win out over the alternative choices. For those who wish to go wider than ultra-wide, you have to turn to fisheye lenses.

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.
