Leica Camera has announced the addition of two new members to the L-Mount Alliance: Astrodesign and Samyang.
Samyang, a South Korean lens manufacturer, became increasingly well-known to photographers over the past few years thanks to its growing line of optics for interchangeable lens cameras sold under the Samyang and Rokinon brands. Initially known for manufacturing budget-conscious manual focus…

Wait, Fujifilm's app is good now?
July 3, 2023
Fujifilm’s new app is functional and feature-rich.
Most remote shooting/viewing camera apps from major camera manufacturers are, well, crappy. And Fujifilm’s old Camera Remote app is no exception. Functional at best, clunky and unreliable at worst, in the two…
Sony has announced an updated license for its ZV-E1 full-frame vlogging camera that adds 4K/120 and FullHD/240 capabilities.
This upgrade was mentioned when the camera was first launched, and isn’t that surprising, given the a7S III and FX3 models with which the ZV-E1 shares its sensor can also shoot this fast. As with these other cameras, the 4K/120 is taken from a slightly cropped region…

As part of our upcoming review, we’ve completed studio testing on the EOS R8. Not surprisingly, it looks a lot like the EOS R6 II, with which it shares a sensor, but its dependence on electronic first curtain shutter seems to means there’s a tiny noise penalty at…

Canon RF 24-50mm goes to New Orleans
June 17, 2023
We recently had the chance to put the Canon RF 24-50mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM through its paces both on the full-frame EOS R8 and on the APS-C EOS R7. With a 38-80mm equiv. field of view on crop-sensor bodies, it’s a bit of an awkward walk-around lens but on a full-frame RF body it’s a classic wide-to-standard kit zoom.
