Lomography Joseph Petzval 35mm f2 Review: Their Best Lens in Years
by Chris Gampat
February 27, 2026
I will be the first do it admit that I've become a bit of a monster to most folks after nearly two decades of reviewing camera gear. And to lots of folks, I'm the bad guy -- but I'm not the villain. This is a much longer way of saying that the Lomography Joseph Petzval 35mm f2 is an incredible lens that puts artistry and human intent first instead of what the Japanese and other manufacturers are doing by making us all have the work done for us. This lens shakes it on the dancefloor in a time when people are too afraid to dance because they'll be made fun of on social media. It is authentic to itself and is bound to lure in anyone else who loves authenticity and individuality over sameness. I received this lens in December of 2025 and am writing this review in early January of 2026. After spending several weeks with it, I'm truly elated with what it can do.
This Software is Faster Than Adobe Lightroom

February 27, 2026
Every photographer knows this feeling. You get home after a full day of shooting, sit down, open Lightroom, and watch each thumbnail slowly appear on your screen one by one like your time means nothing. And that's before you've even started culling through hundreds, sometimes thousands of frames to find the keepers. For working photographers on deadlines and enthusiasts who'd rather be shooting, that wait adds up fast. That’s where Photoculler comes in.

Tips For Photographers On Selling Your Prints (From a Buyer)
by Chris Gampat
February 26, 2026
What do you think of immediately when you say that you're going to sell a print? Is it just a piece of paper and nothing more? If that's what you're doing, then you're probably selling prints wrong or the person that you're buying them from isn't doing it right at all. Because it isn't done as much, printing is sort of a lost art--or at least it's starting to become one. The art of bringing your photos into real life though isn't something that loses its impact. Every time you see a photo of your manifest itself onto a piece of paper or other medium, it should be magical if done right. And that magical experience should be shared with others. But to do that, you have to treat others with the same respect that you would want.
Lensbaby Twist 28 Review: The Squint and Shoot Experience
by Chris Gampat
February 26, 2026
There's something that's always so appealing about Lensbaby products. Sometimes its the fact that they're embracing metal in their build quality. At other times, it's their unapologetic slap in the face to traditional standards of photography. And with the new Lensbaby Twist 28, we're seeing that Lensbaby is still who they really are. This new lens creates the Petzval look in a low-contrast way while making sharpness and critical focus something very tough to achieve. Essentially, this lens is basically how I see the world to a point. Nothing is ever really sharp. And if you’re sitting there squinting at your screen trying to find what’s in focus, I say this: same. That’s literally how I go through life. If anything, the Lensbaby Twist 28 is a challenge to a mindset that the camera should do all the work for us very quickly. So if you've been working to slow down brain rot brought on by short form video and content scrolling, you may want to consider the Lensbaby Twist 28.

by Nilofer Khan
February 26, 2026
Sigma has multiple lenses under its portfolio for full frame cameras. However, while they have been working on various focal ranges, they have also been targeting maximum aperture for low-light photographers. For instance, the company recently introduced the 35mm f1.2 and 50mm f1.2, and it appears the trio is not yet complete. Per reports, Sigma is now officially developing the last of the lot: 85mm f1.2 DG | Art. Here's a look at what to expect.
