Manual NYC’s pitch doesn’t get any more straightforward: the Holo V2 is not intended to deliver clinical images but instead to capture life’s moments – imperfections and all. Challenge accepted.

The Nikon Z 800mm f6.3 VR S is one lens that will immediately challenge your expectations for super telephoto lenses. This isn't just for what it does, but also for how it feels. An 800mm lens usually comes with a reputation for being large, heavy, and often having to be chained to a tripod or monopod. Surprisingly, with this lens Nikon has created something that feels quite manageable and comparatively affordable for most professionals

Sony has some incredible lenses. The company's decision to shift to mirrorless early on played an incredible role in shaping their optics, with the company also working on some collaborations with Zeiss to make things better. This proves the range of optics they have today, and some, despite being old, are perfect for beginners to use. If you are someone who is relying on affordable options, here are two zoom lenses from Sony that can be of help.

Nikon recently updated the firmware of their Nikon Zf. And with that, I was truly wondering what had happened. In fact, I was waiting for this specifically. The changes seemed to be very odd until I did some deep testing. What I've found is that Nikon is preparing for a way to screw with Viltrox and anyone who uses their lenses on their cameras.

You're probably about to feel betrayed reading this. Here's a little-known fact: the warranty of your camera or lens doesn't necessarily cover what happens to it in case of dust, inclement weather, etc. That's why we created the Photography Care Program, in collaboration with Full Frame Insurance. Dust affects your camera and lens performance more than you think, and unless you're constantly cleaning the lens contacts, your autofocus performance could end up pretty wonky. But just in case something happens, you can ensure your camera gear is always covered.

The debate around artificial intelligence has never been more profound than it is today. Creatives around the world have been consistently rallying to create meaningful guardrails around AI's inclusion in everyday workflow. While there are many concerns that companies are not yet addressing, it appears that those conversations will have to wait. There is no denying that AI has woven itself into our daily lives, and people have been finding ways to use the technology to excel in their work. Photographers are no exception, with a new VSCO report showcasing exactly how many image-makers are now embracing the change.

Many photographers prefer to get some nice creamy bokeh to make their images stand out. While there are many first-party variants, they cost you thousands of dollars to get one good optical system. Those who can afford it will certainly go after first-party lenses, but those who can't will have to rely on third-party ones. So, we are here to showcase three Meyer Optik lenses that cost you less than $1000 but give you big results.

Every year when the World Press Photo awards are announced, we do a breakdown of the gear that was used to make the images. It's something that every photographer wants to know about in the same way that photographers want to know about the Nikon camera in outer space. So we did a breakdown and you can see that below.
