My last post reported that Olympus had decided to exit the photography market. Sad! Coincidentally, nary a week later, a new company is launched that has a product that -to say the least- dares to be different. Innovative and bold! This company is Pixii. It first announced its plans in 2018, and got itself a […]

In October 2015, Light, an aptly named California-based company, announced the development of a new camera concept, which claimed to change the way we practice photography. The Light L16 was designed to have 16 lens/sensor modules of various focal lengths and to use computational image technology to stitch and fuse the individual photographs together. Intrigued […]

Is this a review? Nope. Statement of the obvious? Nope. I’m deep in a personal preference fight with myself. I have to stop and take stock; Zeiss’ 25mm Biogon, or the 35 Distagon. Which is more likely to be my lens of choice as I wander the streets? Most people would forgive me choosing my […]

I had always wanted to “have it all” in one shot. Simultaneously, pano and stitching are too complicated, time consuming for me. When going digital seriously after leaving both my film years and a first dabble with pocket cameras, I screwed a Sigma 12-24 onto a Nikon D 200 first and 300 afterwards. To me, […]

We’re going to Paris! Well, next year, and probably in the Fall…so it’s a ways off. But we’re planning. What fun. ‘Trip of a lifetime’ to be sure. However, this will not be a photo-safari a la Pascal and his pals. I will not be photographing when and where I want, but will instead be […]

It took film director Sergio Leone 3 people (played by actors Clint Eastwood, Lee van Cleef and Eli Wallach) to give life to the title. But, in the 80s, hallowed car magazine Car, led by the indomitable LJK Setright, picked this title for one of its fixtures. A brief summary of what was right, and […]

[Note : This post is part of the ongoing review of the Sony A7r system] A few weeks ago, I postulated – from looking at MTF curves for this lens – that it would be a stellar performer. But MTF curves can be dangerous mistresses, often calculated rather than measured, and marketing departments have been […]
