Last year, Leica's Leitz Photographica Auction was really something special. And this year, there doesn't seem to be as much of a party.

Big claims from OM System, but the warranty won't cover the issues we're talking about. Our photography insurance program is designed to be there when photographers really need it! We're giving you more than the competition can in different ways! 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.

It’s Time to Make Photos. Not Shoot Photos
by Chris Gampat
April 23, 2026
A while back, I attended a talk hosted by Harlowe lighting and discussing photojournalism today. The dialogue between the three accomplished veteran photographers and a younger photojournalist around my section of the Millennial identity was quite fascinating to watch. As she accused the others of privilege and being busy introducing people to cultures like a colonial explorer, I couldn't help but realize how much bad vernacular was pervasive amongst all of the photographers there. And in 2026, I'm renewing the file on my idea that we should all stop saying that we're "shooting photos."
