    by Alex Cooke on 26th February 2026 at 22:03

    Canon's lens ecosystem is one of the most extensive in photography, spanning decades of innovation and multiple camera systems. For photographers entering the Canon world in 2026, understanding how all these lenses work together (or don't) can feel like deciphering ancient hieroglyphics. The good news is that once you understand the underlying logic, it all makes sense, and Canon's system offers tremendous flexibility for leveraging glass from multiple eras on modern bodies.  [Read More]

  • Field Testing the 7Artisans 75mm f/1.25 II
    by CS Muncy on 26th February 2026 at 20:03

    I've been struggling with how to describe my experience with the newly released 7Artisans 75mm f/1.25 II lens. Really, I've had two different experiences, both wildly in friction with one another.  On the one hand, the lens produced sharp images in a variety of settings and assignments with a pleasant bokeh and good color rendition. On the other hand, it took enough time to calibrate the lens that I feel the need to mention it here.Still, if the final product is good enough, sometimes the juice is worth the squeeze. More on all that later. [Read More]

  • Wacom MovinkPad 11: Is the Best Pen in the Business Enough?
    by Jason Vinson on 26th February 2026 at 19:03

    The Wacom MovinkPad 11 represents an interesting pivot for a company known primarily for professional-grade tethered displays. By moving into the standalone Android space, Wacom is targeting the "on-the-go" artist who wants the legendary Wacom pen feel without being chained to a desk. However, after spending time with the device, it becomes clear that while it excels in certain professional niches, it faces stiff competition from more versatile hardware.  [Read More]

  • What a Yearlong Photography Project Taught Me
    by Adam Matthews on 26th February 2026 at 17:09

    At the end of 2024, I committed to a simple project for 2025: one photo per week, taken at midday, every week of the year. What sounded straightforward quickly became harder than I anticipated, and by the end of the year, it had changed how I think about consistency, pressure, and personal work.  [Read More]

  • Leica Q3 Review: The Ultimate Compact Camera?
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 26th February 2026 at 02:27

    Leica cameras, with their century-long history, are masters at tugging on our emotional heartstrings. But can they also satisfy the pragmatic side of our nature? After all, a camera is, first and foremost, a tool for making photographs. So, I set my emotions aside and put the most expensive compact camera on the market, the Leica Q3, to the test.

  • The Year of Gear
    by Jason Polak on 24th February 2026 at 00:50

    In 2025, I did something new: test a lot of gear. Not only was it interesting work, but I also got to stock up on some items that I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise, like an 85mm lens. However, going forward, I'll be testing a lot less gear. Why is that?

  • Photographing the Agami Heron: A Rare Encounter in a Drying Amazon
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 20th February 2026 at 23:28

    We tend to think of the Amazon rainforest as the moist, fresh-green lungs of our planet. An endless ecosystem constantly nourished by life-giving rain, threaded with thousands of rivers, oxbow lakes, and lagoons. This image of the Amazon as a place with a more or less stable, humid climate held true for millions of years. Unfortunately, extreme weather swings are becoming increasingly common in this cradle of biodiversity beneath the world’s longest mountain range.

  • What Makes For Good Bokeh in Photography?
    by Jason Polak on 19th February 2026 at 01:09

    Good bokeh on a lens is a bit complicated. It might seem like you can just take a portrait with a blown-out background, and if it looks good, then the lens you're using must have good bokeh. But the truth is a bit more complicated than that.

  • Does High ISO Matter Anymore?
    by Jason Row on 24th February 2026 at 13:00

    Some changes in photographic technology seem to happen at breakneck pace, others slowly, almost imperceptibly. High ISO noise is one of the latter. That’s because it’s actually a combination of evolving technologies that have reduced its importance in day to day photography. Today I am going to give you my opinion on why high ISO no longer matters. The post Does High ISO Matter Anymore? appeared first on Light Stalking.
