18 June, 2013 – Zeiss Touit Lenses in The Field
18
Jun
Any time Zeiss releases a new lens its a cause for heightened interest by photographers. Cameras come and go in the digital era, but lenses can become life-long friends, at least the best ones can.
Kevin and I had an opportunity to work with the new Zeiss Touit 12mm f/2.8 and 32mm f/1.8 lenses in Fuji XR mount on our Kimberly PODAS Expedition in Australia earlier this month. These lenses are also available in Sony NEX-E mount.
Our joint review is now online.

Leica raised a lot of false hopes when they ran teaser ads for a Mini-M. Instead, we got an X with a slow zoom lens.
Our regular contributor Sean Reid comments on this new camera in an essay titled Waiting for Monroe.
Phase One is now running a special at 50% off for Capture One Express 7 and 20% off Capture One Pro.

10 June, 2013 – Vision Part 3

Jun
We have just published Alain Briot’s latest essay, Vision and The Artists Statement – Part 3.
I returned from Western Australia yesterday after two days of almost continious travel. Whew. Four airports, five movies, two novels, and at least a half dozen indescribable airplane meals. But, no delays, no lost bags, and no drama, so lot’s to be thankful for.
Kevin is still there, taking care of winding things up, and shipping all the Phase gear back to Denmark. He’ll be home by Thursday.
Adobe started shipping Lightroom 5 today. We filmed our Lightroom 5 Tutorial Update a few weeks ago and it is now in the final editing stages. It will be ready shortly and will have compehensive tutorials on all of the new features in LR5.
Watch for a special promotional price soon.
"Yes I downloaded the videos. THEY ARE AWESOME!!!
I learned so much I think my brain is going to explode.

5 June, 2013 – Aboard The True North
05
Jun
It is Wednesday June 5th in Kimberley Austrailia where for the last five days we have been sailing to some of the most amazing and remote places on the planet. We have seen some amazing things. We are sailing aboard the amazing True North on a Phase One PODAS workshop. There are 34 attendees and instructors on board and it is all about photography and fun. We have a helicopter that takes us to remote locations as well as some incredible sights from the air. There isn’t enough room here to even begin to tell you what an amazing photographic adventure this has been so far. There are still three more days to go and we are told that tomorrow will rank up there as a most amazing day. When we get home home we’ll post more images and an article about this workshop.
We have also started planning NEW workshops for 2014 and 2015. A few of these will be aboard the True North again. So, if you missed this workshop, be sure to register early when we announce the new ones. We are assembling a great group of instructors and locations we plan to visit.
Michael, Chris and I have been busy doing a number of video interviews and these will be posted in the near future too. There is a lot going on and we have some new and informative features coming soon.
If you are interested we have a link to our GPS tracker and you can follow our progress HERE. You’ll have to select the GPS points you want to see as the map will only display the last 50.
Also, follow the links to our Facebook pages for more photos.

Leica teases ‘Mini M’ for 11th June release
23
May
Leica has placed a teaser on its Facebook page for a new ‘Mini M’ camera to be launched on June 11th, that apparently will slot into its range between the M rangefinder and the X2 fixed-lens compact. It’s given no other details, and we don’t yet know what’s coming, but we think it could make sense for the company to produce a full-time live view version of the M Typ 240, using the same sensor but with the expensive rangerfinder assembly removed. This would result in a 24MP full frame mirrorless camera that would able to use almost any manual focus SLR or rangefinder lens ever made, without a field of view crop. What kind of camera would you like Leica to make? Let us know in the comments.
