This image is rather special to me, not only because the family loved it, but it also placed high in “The 1st SNS Exhibition” held by Samyang in January this year.
The DP2 Quattro, like the rest of the DP series cameras, is not tailored to be for everyone’s needs. But it might be for you. Check out my thoughts about it.
The excitement and unpredictability of film is something the digital medium will just never have, and although finding film around town might be a bit of a scavenger hunt, there are a lot of places online that offer you that little film-roll gold nugget.
Sony’s new Medium Format CMOS sensor is changing the MF world. Now, you can add yet another MF back, making use of that sensor to an ever growing list. Today, Hasselblad announced a new digital back for their V System, the CFV-50c.

A couple wide angle “speed barriers” have just been broken, folks! What am I talking about? Well, Rokinon / Samyang / Bower have just announced new lenses, the most notable being a pair of crop-sensor / mirrorless lenses: The 10mm f/2.8 and the 12mm f/2.
