SmallRig has long been a staple of the run-and-gun video shooter's bag. Camera cages, base plates, and 15mm rod systems have been the brand’s bread and butter for years. Over time, more and more photo accessories began to fill out their lineup. Soon came tripods, and logically monopods. One of the latest additions to their arsenal is the SmallRig Carbon Fiber Monopod Lite.

The Hasselblad 907X & CFV 100C is inspired by this sentiment, with its removable digital back design and an extremely simple camera body that purely serves as an

Many experienced photographers think of fast moderate telephoto lenses, as “portrait lenses” because so many professional portrait photographers rely on them. Lenses in the 85-105mm focal length range with maximum apertures between f/1.4 and f/2.8 can capture frame-filling headshots and head-and-shoulders portraits at moderate shooting distances, thus minimizing apparent perspective distortion—the dreaded “big-nose effect”—in close-ups. And they deliver very shallow depth of field at their widest apertures, creating compelling pictorial

There are few lenses more comforting than a compact, bright 50mm prime. The Viltrox AF 50mm f/2 Air is exactly that—one of the smaller and lighter 50mm lenses available for the Nikon Z lens mount and one of the few third-party lenses for the system with autofocus. The beauty of a lens like this is its inherent simplicity; it’s a straightforward normal-length prime and a perfect go-to

Nearly two years ago, Harman released their first color negative film: Phoenix 200. This character-rich film was known for its bold colors, strong grain, and distinct color and shadow rendering—along with a bit of uncertainty while shooting. While fun and spontaneous, it was a difficult film to control or necessarily rely on. Today, Harman has announced the second generation of this film: Phoenix II 200.

Using a digital back with a film-era camera body forces you to stand in two different generations with regard to photography and design. Hasselblad makes this contradiction a reality with their CFV 100C digital back, which is natively compatible with all of their 500 and 200-series camera bodies from the past 70+ years. This unique ability points to Hasselblad’s success in design—being able to maintain

While best known around B&H as one of the leading camera and photography brands, Nikon is, first and foremost, an optics manufacturer. Looking beyond camera lenses, though, Nikon's other optical pursuits lie in the sport optics realm, including binoculars, spotting scopes, and laser rangefinders. A subsection of the laser rangefinder category is golf laser rangefinders—palm-sized monoculars that incorporate a laser to measure the distance to an object. In the context of golf, you'll be using these to determine the distance between yourself

Designed primarily for sports and wildlife photography, super telephoto lenses let you take advantage of long focal lengths, a narrow field of view, and shallow depth of field to fill the frame with distant subjects that are more isolated from the background. The narrow field of view also creates a compression effect, making the subject seem closer to the background than it is. With focal lengths

Macro photography demands precision. Mere millimeters can determine an image’s success. To help small-scale photographers, tripod and accessories manufacturer Oben has released a new pair of macro focusing rails in 4” FRM-4S and 7” FRM-4L options—available separately and together as a kit. Recently, I was able to get my hands on the new focusing rails, along with

Although it's relatively new, the Oben CQL-13 Compact Carbon Fiber Tripod has already made quite a name for itself, garnering praise, popularity, and a growing list of five-star reviews. Available only at B&H, the CQL-13 features an equally exclusive stat sheet, especially for a travel tripod.

With a history of reliable and fast memory options, it should come as no surprise that their card offerings feature top-of-the-line specs or push the media further than it has in the past. That is certainly the case with the Atlas Pro
