When the Leica L-mount was announced, people were skeptical of what this could mean for photographers. But over the years, the mount has now become the most-sought after option for many hybrid users.

Landscape photography helps one to get in touch with nature. Viewing vast vistas up close is a pleasure for any human being, with many trying to depict the beauty to their peers in the city.

Every now and again, I look on eBay for real cameras designed for real photographers. And most of the time, I want to turn to medium format. This begins the search for some good used gear like the Fujifilm GFX 100RF. Last year, we reported on the pricing problem that these cameras have and it seems like that issue hasn't gone away. Instead, they've evolved.

Oftentimes, camera insurance is cheaper than a repair or a replacement -- especially on time! 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.

Mirrorless cameras are all the rage in the industry. With companies like Canon and Nikon switching to the same, photographers today have only two options: stick to the aging DSLR system, or get a new camera with a fast system. For those in street photography, the latter makes much more sense. If you are someone who has been meaning to invest in a mirrorless system, then this Panasonic model is the best for you.

Nikon has been one of the few companies that has always had to work hard to prove itself; and that's especially been the case since the inception of mirrorless camera. Sometimes, we all forget that they started the same way that many Chinese manufacturers have today: by imitating Leica. The company has launched some exceptional cameras over the years, with the Z system helping them to reach newer heights. But while they battle other brands for a larger user base, a recent trend showcases that their older cameras are still the talk of the town. Here's a quick look at how Nikon is finding ways to rekindle its bond with those who like analog.

Canon users have never had an opportunity to use a nice autofocus lens from third-party lens makers. One of the reasons being that the company was not ready to give access to other brands. Despite the challenges, some people did rely on them and worked with manual focus instead. Things changed as the company changed its rules with the RF mount. It now appears that Canon may open doors to a new third-party lens maker, and that can be interesting for some photographers.

Will Nikon Get Creative With Its Lighting System Again?

Will Nikon Get Creative With Its Lighting System Again?

A little over a decade ago, Nikon had arguably the best speedlight system of any camera brand on the market. The lights could all talk to each other wirelessly without much hassle, and the system helped many a photographer become a creative professional. But with their last speedlight model being released over a decade ago, what's caused this stagnancy in the lighting department of their R&D team?
