I love the Sony A7 IV. That might be a strange way to begin a review of the A7 V, but an important fact to mention. When I first put my hands on a Sony camera years ago, I loved the customization they offered, and of course, I loved the glass.

How a camera fits in one's hand is very important, so when Sony unveiled a beefier camera, I was sold. It was the perfect blend of form and functionality that many (me, myself, and I) had long desired. It pushed the boundaries of what many once considered to be an all-

I drive an old pickup truck. I love it. It works, but it’s also twenty-years old, and its creaky joints can be heard from the sidewalks as it rattles around the roads between North Queens and South Brooklyn.
My lighting equipment isn’t much different. It’s old. I love it. It works, but it has the same tenuous “held-together-by-tape-gum-and-string” quality as my truck.
Every now and then, I’ll get behind the wheel of someone else’s car, and it’s a new car, and it’s a luxury car, and it’s like I’m stepping into an alien spacecraft with its

For years, young photo enthusiasts have been striving to add a nostalgic look to their photos. From smartphone camera filters to old hand-me-down point-and-shoot cameras, we’ve been chasing a look that just can’t be replicated. That is, unless you design a camera specifically to accomplish that goal. And that’s exactly what Kodak did with the Charmera keychain camera

We can say from experience that there’s nothing worse than your fingers freezing while on a winter photo shoot. From a scientific standpoint, exposure to the cold results in constriction of blood flow to the extremities, resulting in rapid temperature loss that approaches ambient temperatures. In layman’s terms, your hands get cold fast. Once you feel that chill, it’s nearly impossible to think about anything else.
Enter gloves. From mittens to liners, we all probably have more pairs of gloves than we know what to do with, but not all pairs

SmallRig has long been a staple of the run-and-gun video shooter's bag. Camera cages, base plates, and 15mm rod systems have been the brand’s bread and butter for years. Over time, more and more photo accessories began to fill out their lineup. Soon came tripods, and logically monopods. One of the latest additions to their arsenal is the SmallRig Carbon Fiber Monopod Lite.

What I miss most from the film era of photography is the uniqueness of different camera systems: brands’ idiosyncrasies, distinct ergonomics and accessories for various medium format outfits, and the overall modularity of what a camera can be. The Hasselblad 907X & CFV 100C is inspired by this sentiment, with its removable digital back design and an extremely simple camera body that purely serves as an

Many experienced photographers think of fast moderate telephoto lenses, as “portrait lenses” because so many professional portrait photographers rely on them. Lenses in the 85-105mm focal length range with maximum apertures between f/1.4 and f/2.8 can capture frame-filling headshots and head-and-shoulders portraits at moderate shooting distances, thus minimizing apparent perspective distortion—the dreaded “big-nose effect”—in close-ups. And they deliver very shallow depth of field at their widest apertures, creating compelling pictorial

There are few lenses more comforting than a compact, bright 50mm prime. The Viltrox AF 50mm f/2 Air is exactly that—one of the smaller and lighter 50mm lenses available for the Nikon Z lens mount and one of the few third-party lenses for the system with autofocus. The beauty of a lens like this is its inherent simplicity; it’s a straightforward normal-length prime and a perfect go-to

Nearly two years ago, Harman released their first color negative film: Phoenix 200. This character-rich film was known for its bold colors, strong grain, and distinct color and shadow rendering—along with a bit of uncertainty while shooting. While fun and spontaneous, it was a difficult film to control or necessarily rely on. Today, Harman has announced the second generation of this film: Phoenix II 200.

Using a digital back with a film-era camera body forces you to stand in two different generations with regard to photography and design. Hasselblad makes this contradiction a reality with their CFV 100C digital back, which is natively compatible with all of their 500 and 200-series camera bodies from the past 70+ years. This unique ability points to Hasselblad’s success in design—being able to maintain
