Panasonic LUMIX 20mm f2.5 Review: The Lens You’ll Want to Bring Everywhere
by Chris Gampat
September 16, 2026
The Panasonic LUMIX 20mm f2.5 is a fantastic lens not just for the LUMIX S9, but for any full-frame LUMIX camera you may use. And it's not just because of the image quality as there's a lot to love about this thing. Looking back at my time with the Panasonic LUMIX 20mm f2.5 during my review process, I really did love this lens. It's weird because for a really long time, I loved wide-angle lenses. Then I lost interest. Then I loved them again. More specifically, I love this lens again.

Is the Canon R6 Still Worth Buying in 2026?
by Nilofer Khan
September 15, 2026
When the Canon R6 was launched, a lot of competitors thought it would live under the shadows of Sony's mirrorless offerings. The Canon R6 is a serious enthusiast camera with a lot of positive features. For example, good autofocus and some amazing image quality, amongst other things. But now that it has been about six years since its initial launch, does it make sense for a photographer to purchase this device today? Let's see.

Affinity (Version 3.3) Review: Better for Photographers, Still not Replacing Capture One
by Alberto Lima
September 15, 2026
Since the release of Affinity 3.0, one of my biggest gripes with the software has been the unshakable feeling that this was at best a piece of software that was largely incomplete and at worst not made with photographers in mind. The latest release, Affinity 3.3, changes a lot of these previous shortfalls and aims to be the central place where your photography editing happens. As a photographer that cut his teeth with Lightroom in the early 2000s and most recently switch his workflow to Capture One, here’s how I rate the new Affinity experience.

Neal Slavin: Vintage Photos of a Lost American Culture
by Chris Gampat
September 15, 2026
There's something inherently Americana about the work that photographer Neal Slavin is really known for. Towards the end of summer 2026, I sat on my balcony to take in the book, "Neal Slavin: When Two or More are Gathered Together," I realized that we've lost something: community. The book can be had really affordably on Amazon. We've cited him and his innovative use of color photography in a time when black and white was the norm. And make no mistake: I've known that community has been lost for a while. But it wasn't until I sat and really soaked myself in the images that I truly felt it.

Fujifilm Instax Pal 2 Review: They Fixed Fuji’s Worst Camera
by Chris Gampat
September 15, 2026
The Fujifilm Instax Pal 2 is a re-envisioning of the company's really awful Instax Pal, and it's mostly for the better. The ergonomics are very classic and retro inspired while the entire way that you use the camera is also quite liberating. In fact, that's the best part of the new Fujifilm Instax Pal 2. Even if the images aren't going to win any awards and I probably won't be printing many of them, I truly just can't pull myself away from the entire experience of actually using this camera.

Fujifilm Instax Link Wide 2 Printer Review: For When Your Images Mean Something
by Chris Gampat
September 15, 2026
The Fujifilm Instax Link Wide 2 is, well, to be frank with you, I didn't even really bother reading the press release much because I know how photographers will use it. Fujifilm added stuff like the collage feature; but every time I see photographers printing images from these cameras, they're not doing things like that. In our review of the original, we found a way to make collage prints fun if you're shooting mostly vertical images. But then why wouldn't you just get an Instax Mini printer for that use case? Instead, photographers want a single image to have its own space in the moment. And that makes a whole lot of sense. Recently, I've been grappling with my own idea of printing images. And next month, I'm throwing the 5 Boro Foto Fest here in NYC which is all about the printed photo.

Inside Canon’s Newest Lens Patents: A 20-60mm f2, a 70-135mm f2, and More
by Nilofer Khan
September 14, 2026
Canon has been publishing patents over the past few months. And some of them are very innovative lenses that haven't been made before. The pace does not seem to slow down either. As part of their latest filings, the company is announcing four new zoom lenses, of which, one includes a rather odd design, the 20-60mm f2. Other ones include 70-135mm f2, 200-400mm f4, and 70-300mm f4, amongst others. Photographers who can't rely on third-party lens makers, will now get a chance to work with Canon's own range. Here's a look at some options and how they can be helpful.

Shooting Like a Photojournalist? Our Presets Are Inspired by Life, Nat Geo, and Time
by Thursten Kent
September 14, 2026
Street photography has always leaned on a bit of grit, and that's exactly what our retro digital presets are built for. When I'm out shooting on the sidewalk, I want images that feel a little rougher around the edges, not polished to the point where they lose their character. That's the whole idea b
