    Imaging Resource has published an interesting article by Steve Meltzer, which examines the mystery of the so-called ‘Mexican suitcase’ – a long-lost collection of images taken by the late Robert Capa. Before escaping Europe ahead of the Nazi invasion of France, Capa entrusted a large number of negatives to a friend for safekeeping. The collection went missing, and was presumed lost for decades until being identified in Mexico in 1995. Robert Capa’s brother, Cornell Capa, finally got to see the long-lost negatives in 1997 – forty three years after his brother’s death. Click through for a link to the full story.

    Following the recent public release of Adobe Camera Raw 7.4, we’ve updated our studio comparison database with new raw conversions of files from the Fujifilm X-Pro 1, X-E1 and X100S. We’ve been using the release candidate version of ACR 7.4 for some time, which contained significant improvements to Adobe’s treatment of files from Fujifilm’s X-TRANS sensors. The official public release version of ACR 7.4 brings some further (very minor) tweaks. Click through for links to the studio comparison pages in our X-Pro 1 and X-E1 reviews, and X100S preview, now with ACR 7.4 raw conversions.

    In the course of preparing our in-depth review of the Nikon D7100, we’re exploring the potential image quality advantages of Nikon’s decision to forgo an optical low pass filter (OLPF). As part of this process, we compared the D7100 alongside the Nikon D5200, which also uses a 24MP APS-C sensor, but includes an OLPF and have just added the results to our hands-on preview. Does the D7100’s lack of OLPF really make a difference? Click through to read what we’ve found.
