Scrap metal artist and ASE-certified technician Christopher Bissett has built a camera out of scrap metal that features a “working” flash and shutter button.
Bissett wanted to create a camera that looked and felt as close to the real thing as possible. The design he…
Due to physical limitations, cameras can only become so small before they simply cannot shrink anymore. But a new lensless camera design could change that.
Researchers have also been steadily moving towards a computational approach rather than on that relies on optics being a set distance from the image sensor in order to focus light upon it.
At the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan…
A camera crew recently was given access to Sigma’s new headquarters in Kanagawa, Japan which reveals a complex filled with zen-like spaces and a “cellar” of lenses displayed like bottles of fine wine.
With its wide-open design concept, a stairwell encased…

A pair of Stanford University astrophysicists have proposed a new way to use gravitational lensing that would be up to 1,000 times more precise than current methods. The hope is to use the concept to take better photos of distant planets.
While astronomers have…
Did Leica leak its plans to release a medium format mirrorless camera? It sure looks like it
May 3, 2022
Could Leica be working on a new medium format mirrorless camera? We don’t know for sure, but a recent video from the company does suggest the company has, at the very least, been prototyping such a camera.
Earlier this year, when Leica showed off its new M11 camera in its launch video, embedded above, a few eagle-eyed viewers noticed that there were three spots in the company’s camera roadmap…
