21 August, 2013 – Leica 50mm f/2 APO Summicron ASPH Review

21 Aug

Every now and then a new lens comes along, that while necessarily expensive, sets photographer’s hearts a-flutter with its potential for extreemly high image quality.

Such a lens of the new Leica 50mm f/2 APO Summicron ASPH. Our contributor Mark Dubovoy has been using one for a few weeks on his Leica M as well as on a Monocrom. Find out what Mark thinks of the new 50mm APO.

"Having been to Antarctica with Michael and Kevin, I would say after having traveled the world and shot nearly my entire life as an exhibiting photographer,  it was one of my highlights in my life and I talk about it, all the time.  The images and experience of seeing something visionary and nearly extinct from the world, to see and experience the wildlife and scenery that does not fear humans is amazing.  The images I shot there won me two Smithsonian awards and nearly 18 other international awards". – Tim Wolcott

18 August, 2013 – Panasonic FZ70 Field Report

18 Aug

I received two new cameras for testing recently, the Panasonic GX7 and the Panasonic FX70. The GX7 is coming with me to Mexico on vacation this week, and I’ll be putting it through its paces there with a variety of lenses, shooting both stills and video.

My review of Panasonic’s latest superzoom, the FZ70 is now online.

16 August, 2013 – The Life and Times of Mark Stothard

16 Aug

Today we begin a new series of articles which will feature write-ups, interviews and videos about excellent photographers that Kevin and Michael have met in their travels around the world.

These are not famous people, and you likely heavn’t heard of them. Many are unpublished. But they are fascinating, talented, hard working, and probably like you, passionate about their photography.

We begin the series with Mark Stothard, from Australia.

1 August, 2013 – Good News / Bad News

01 Aug

We normally don’t publish news reports, leaving that to those sites who feed us all a daily stream of new product announcements. But, there were so many interesting developments in the past few days that we thought it worth bringing them to your attention.

– Adobe has released updates to both Lightroom and Camera Raw. These incude bug fixes and support for several new cameras.

– Sigma has announced a new service that will allow owners of their latest series of lenses to change the lens’ camera mount when one changes systems. A cool and innovative service.

– The Swiss company Ilford Imaging has stated to it has been unsuccessful in finding new owners or investors, and has laid off 220 employees in prepartion for bankrupcy filing.
