“Abracadabra” and “shazam” are decent magic words and all, but we think “Photojojo” works just as well. Why, you ask?
Because we’ve figured out how to transmogrify your DSLR into a Holga, instantly!
We didn’t even have to make deals with dark powers: we just used the Digital Holga Lens.
Mount this plastic lens right onto your camera body and start snapping away! Your photos will have that vignetted lo-fi charm for which Holgas are so well known. (Pssst: if your DSLR shoots video too, you’ve got a Holga home movie machine on your hands).
Go ahead, make some magic without having to lift a wand.

When one thinks of a focal length ideal to nature or landscape photography 24mm usually tops the list. Historically use of a 24mm prime lens was seen as the ideal way to go and over the past decade lens technology has improved so much that wide zooms (14-24mm, 16-35mm, etc.) are now the norm. The 50mm focal length on the other hand is seldom thought of as ideal for nature or landscape photography and more so for photojournalism or street photography. In fact it is for this reason that 50mm or most mid-range focal lengths were omitted from my earlier post Reader Question: What lens do you use for your Landscape photographs?
To Be A Leaf – Canon 5D III, 50mm f/1.0L USM at f/1.0, 1/6400 sec at ISO 1600
As of late I’ve been having fun with the 50mm focal length and I’ve been going out of my way to experiment with it. In the process I’ve rediscovered making use of much shallower depth of field in my images. For nature and landscape photographers using wide lenses with deep depth of field (> f/16) is often the norm to keep as much of the scene in focus as possible. With a shallower depth of field (< f/2.0) a narrow plane of focus exists and bokeh becomes a more important visual component. Breaking out of my deep depth of field rut I’ve become increasingly fascinated with learning about the varying qualities of bokeh and it’s led me to purchase a rather rare lens, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.0L USM. I have to admit this particular lens has two qualities that piqued my interest: 1. The extreme bokeh created by the ultra-shallow depth of field it is subject to and 2. It’s ability to gather more light for faster shutter speeds in low light situations (ideal for night photography).
Below is an example night photo taken out of a plane window at 10PM. Visible to the naked eye was the wing and a hint of snow on the mountains. Much of city lights and stars were not visible to the naked eye. What impressed me in this situation is that a nearly pitch black scene could be taken handheld.

We’re delighted to be able to announce the re-introduction of lens reviews. In partnership with DxO Labs, we’ve re-developed the way the data is collected and how it’s presented, so we’ve prepared an extensive guide to our testing methodology and the revised lens widget. The collaboration with DxO means we’ll be able to provide data for more lenses than previously possible, so have a read to see what those results mean and how they were achieved.

Just posted: Our review of Nikon’s latest superzoom for its DX format SLRs, the AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR. In the first of our new series of lens reviews produced in partnership with DxOMark, we take a look at the longest-range zoom currently made for any interchangeable lens camera system. By current standards it’s large and heavy for its class, and expensive too, but does its imaging performance make this all worthwhile? Read our review to find out.
