From the dieline, a design/packaging blog I read regularly.
A student designed a package for ilford 120 rollfilm, that can be folded into a pinhole camera for said film. Supercool, although it wasn’t clear whether this was an actual product or just a design concept. Check the link for more images and info on the project.

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks. Tons of shooting, Punta Cana for vacation, more shooting, lighting workshop, working on a painting commission… whew…
Had a fantastic time at Don Giannatti’s workshop in Baltimore, we had some great brainstorming on a portfolio revamp. So that’s my next project! (more on the workshop in a separate post)
Now it’s just a matter of wrapping everything up, finishing up some processing and getting ready to start all over again! Oh, and round 2 of my 1×120 project will be starting up as well!
Without further ado, here are a few images from the past couple of weeks (in no particular order)

Lexar has announced its upcoming Lexar Professional CFexpress USB 3.1 Reader, a budget-friendly CFexpress card reader that offers impressive speeds in a compact package.
 |
The Lexar Professional CFexpress USB 3.1 Reader is based on the USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C interface and can deliver read speeds up to 1,050MB/s through its CFexpress Type B card slot. It measures in at roughly 5.6cm x 4.7cm x 1.3cm (1.1” x 1.5” x .14”), weighs just 21g (0.74oz) and can operate between -10°C to 70°C (14°F to 158°F) if you really feel like putting it to the test.
 |
Despite having a USB Type-C host port on the reader, Lexar opted to only include a USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable within the box. So, if you’re wanting a USB Type-C to USB Type-C connection, you’ll need to supply your own cable.
The good news is, this omission likely plays a role in the affordability of this card reader. The Lexar Professional CFexpress USB 3.1 Reader is currently available to pre-order for just $ 50 (Adorama, B&H). At this time, it appears to be the cheapest CFexpress card reader from major brands, including SanDisk ($ 70), Sony ($ 100), ProGrade ($ 100), Delkin ($ 55) and even Wise ($ 59).

NiSi Optics USA has launched its new 150mm Explorer Collection of square neutral density (ND) filters, which it claims are twice as strong as other glass filters on the market thanks to a ‘special glass hardening process.’
The 150mm Explorer Collection is identical to its 100mm predecessor in all but size and work with any of NiSi Optics USA’s S5 and Q system 150mm filter holders. Like the 100mm options, the 150mm Explorer Collection is made from B270 tempered glass and includes the following 2mm-thick filters: 10-stop ND1000, 6-stop ND64, 3-stop ND8, 3-stop ND8 Medium Graduated ND and 2-stop ND4 Reverse Graduated ND.
What sets the Explorer Collection apart from other glass filters on the market is their durability. NiSi Optics USA says it treats the filters via a ‘special glass hardening process’ that doubles the strength of the glass with ‘no visible loss of image quality.’ While that sounds like quite the claim, the above video appears to back up the claims.
Each of the five filters in the 150mm Explorer Collection retails for $ 198 and is currently available to purchase through NiSi Optics USA online shop and authorized retailers.
Press release:
Hardened Glass Filters Now Available for The 150mm System
NiSi Optics USA have just launched the brand new 150mm Explorer Collection of neutral density filters which are compatible with all of our 150mm filter holder systems including very popular S5 filter holders and Q filter holders.?
The new range of 150mm Explorer Collection filters include the 10 Stop ND1000, 6 Stop ND64, 3 Stop ND8, 3 Stop ND8 Medium Graduated ND and 2 Stop ND4 Reverse Graduated ND. The Explorer Collection range of filters can be used in combination with the 150mm optical glass range of neutral density filters. Each filter in the NiSi 150mm Explorer Collection is priced at USD$ 198.?
When it comes to durability, the NiSi Explorer Collection filters are stronger thanks to the special glass hardening process that makes them up to double the strength of typical glass filter. For photographers shooting in more adventurous situations and harsher landscapes, the Explorer Collection filters may be the better choice when compared to our optical glass filters as they offer increased durability that will provide a great investment over time.
While using the NiSi Explorer Collection filter range, there is no visible loss of image quality when compared to the NiSi range of optical glass filters. The proprietary manufacturing methods used by NiSi ensure there will be no impact on visible image quality when using the tempered glass within the NiSi Explorer Collection series of filters.
