If you have ever looked at a finished print and felt the color and shadow transitions were just slightly brittle, this video is aimed straight at that frustration. [ Read More ]

  • How Visual Echoes Can Improve Your Photos
    by Spencer Cox on 14th January 2026 at 22:24

    It's always a treat to see a good photo that employs a "visual echo" - when different parts of the photo call out to one another and make the whole composition feel interconnected. Not all scenes will have visual echoes that you can photograph, but they're sure worth searching for.

  • Nikon Z9 Firmware 5.30 Is a Big Leap
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 12th January 2026 at 21:09

    Since its launch in 2021, the Nikon Z9 has received a steady stream of firmware updates that added a number of genuinely excellent features. Lately, however, it felt as if the update wind had died down—or perhaps more accurately, as if Nikon’s flagship had been sailing with partially reefed sails. Indeed, some really useful features such as the in-body focus limiter, pixel shift, or maximum aperture live view were available only on lower-tier models like the Z8 or even the Z6 III. However, firmware update 5.30—released in December of 2025—not only closes some of these gaps, but also introduces several entirely new features. In my opinion, it puts the Z9 back at the very front of the fleet.

  • Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.2 Pro Field Review
    by Libor Vaicenbacher on 9th January 2026 at 04:44

    Nikon APS-C cameras do not receive much attention from their own brand when it comes to fast prime lenses. Eight years after the introduction of the Z mount, Nikon still offers just two bright DX primes, roughly equivalent to 35mm and 50mm, both with an aperture of f/1.7. Fortunately, third-party manufacturers have clearly sensed an opportunity, resulting in a growing lineup of interesting fast lenses. One of them is the portrait-oriented Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.2 Pro, which has just been announced in a Z-mount version.

Moreover, it will sell as a kit with the Nikon Z5 II for $2200, representing a $200 discount from their usual retail prices.
