I remember several years ago, Sony launched their 55mm f1.8 lens when the full-frame E mount cameras came to be. This lens was long rumored to be an iteration of the Zeiss 55mm f1.4 Otus for DSLRs but made smaller, lighter, etc. In 2026, Viltrox is launching the Viltrox 55mm f1.8 EVO. Very few lenses come out with this focal length. But when they do, they're just the right range to get me excited.

Canon has some of the most talked-about cameras over the years. The 5D series was the favorite of professionals, while the Power Shot models won over beginners, and then there was the R7, designed for serious enthusiasts. Each of the cameras had something special for varying groups of photographers. It now appears that Canon plans to combine two different groups with a camera in the near future. This is how it may pan put.

Today, Leica is making a pretty large announcement. They're now developing a strategic partnership with a CMOS-sensor company called GPixel. GPixel, which is located in China, a separate from Sony -- who makes most of the camera sensors that you see in your cameras. Besides Sony, some manufacturers get their sensors from companies like Tower Jazz or Toshiba. What this is likely to mean is that in the future, when you buy a Leica camera, it's very likely to not be something very similar to what the Japanese brands are making. Hence, this is adding the variety that our industry so desperately needs.

Recently, the Flicker blog revealed a list of the top 10 cameras used by photographers, and it was quite interesting to see OM System models amongst many full-frame options. However, what was even impressive was that the list featured not one but two OM System cameras, making the brand the only one to do so. So, we take a look at the models and why everyone is going after them.

Coffee table books, zines, photo books--whatever you want to call them, printing is obviously involved with the process of creating one. Photographers looking to have another way of showing off their portfolio rather than just showing off something on an iPad should truthfully consider the idea of looking at and presenting their projects in a photo book of some sort. This doesn't mean that they need to be big, sprawling editions like the ones that you're destined to see at a bookstore. Instead, they can be a bit more compact to fit onto a coffee table, in a messenger bag, or toted along for a trip to the beach. When you're creating a photobook, you should really have these and a number of other things in mind.
