A Quick Tip For Shooting in the X Pan Format

By Chris Gampat

September 29, 2025

If you're getting creatively drained, then trying a new aspect ratio is an incredible way to get the creative juices flowing and your mind thinking in a new way. One of my favorite aspect ratios in the panoramic format. Specifically, if you want to shoot to mimic what the X Pan can do, then you should shoot in a very specific way. Some cameras have the 65:24 format, and this is the panoramic format that more or less puts two 35mm pieces of film next to one another. So when you're getting this going, try this.

Will Canon Launch a New Lens to Rival Nikon?

By Nilofer Khan

September 29, 2025

Canon has some exciting lenses in its lineup. The company has been trying to expand this offering for RF users since they have not been able to get all their EF focal ranges to mirrorless systems. Per a new report, the company has been developing two new lenses, a prime and a zoom, to expand its portfolio. And one of them seems to be a direct answer to Nikon. Here's a look.

A Love Letter to the Point and Shoot Hip Case

By Chris Gampat

September 29, 2025

If my phone is a soulless device with few buttons and an adaptable simulation, a dedicated point-and-shoot camera reminds my soul that I am a human being with five senses—and that they work. Phones and so many digital cameras have taken away the sensory romance of photography as camera manufacturers have done little to cater to the people who are truly in love with cameras. I'm not talking about the enthusiast market segment, the pro, or the hobbyist -- instead, I'm talking about the passionate photographer. These are the folks who enjoy every step of the process of making an image and don't necessarily wish to sit behind a computer all day to get their image to look wonderful. Instead, they get it right from a little device that can fit in their pocket, but can also be carried on the hip in a little case.

This Filter is Supposed to Make Your Camera Colors Better. Does it?

By Chris Gampat

September 28, 2025

Long-time readers of this website know that I've been a long-time supporter of cameras being more weather resistant, cleaning your camera sensors, and using protection on the camera to keep it functional. It's one of the reasons why I created the Photography Care Program. But many mirrorless cameras don't have protection for the sensor when you take the lens off. So I've been experimenting with Kolari's Clip-in filters. And then I stumbled upon their Iridium filter -- which is supposed to enhance the colors in your scene.

These are Some of the Best Presets for Vibey Looks

By Chris Gampat

September 28, 2025

Our presets are designed to make editing a minimal task so you can get back to shooting! We're in love with Retro Digital. Luckily, that's when we founded the website closer to two decades ago. So we dove into our image archives, looked at how the Adobe Gurus were telling us how to edit, and adapted those methods to create our Retro Digital Lightroom Presets and Capture One Styles. These are in addition to the popular Photojournalism presets that we released a while back.

By Nilofer Khan

September 28, 2025

Third-party lens makers have been helping photographers get the best out of their cameras. Companies like Viltrox, SG Image, Laowa, and 7Artisans are a few names that have been pushing the optical industry forward with newer innovations. Like them, Light Lens Lab is another third-party manufacturer that has been reviving iconic retro lenses for users today, and this time, they are bringing in a monster of a lens for large-format cameras: the 300mm f/1.9 Apo.

Is the LUMIX S5 II Still a Good Camera?

By Chris Gampat

September 27, 2025

A camera that I've used pretty much weekly since its release is the LUMIX S5 II. It's genuinely been one of the absolute best hybrid cameras that you can get for the money. And over time, it has become one of my favorites too. Arguably, I'd say that it's a brand new camera after all the updates that it's recieved. But the recent ones have had me scratching my head. So I updated our review, which you can read the full text of at this link. But if you just want to see the updated text, check it out below.
