Be still my heart, because Rezivot Instant Film Processor is fulfilling so many dream right now!

In what is perhaps one of the most exciting announcements in medium format film photography this year, there’s a brand new Kickstarter that is going to make you all very happy: the Rezivot Instant Film Processor. This is essentially what many photographers have been looking for for a while, a way to make their medium format film cameras shoot Instax film. The processor lets users load Fujifilm Instax Wide and Fujifilm Instax Square into a camera such as their Mamiya RB67 and shoot to their heart’s content with the adapter.

So why is this so exciting? Well, photographers used to use Fujifilm peel apart film like Fujifilm 100-C and Fujifilm 3000-B to shoot images on their medium format DSLRs. But the film was always larger than the imaging circle and so there were black edges. Since the film was discontinued, it’s been tough to get your hands on. However, Fujifilm Instax Wide and Fujifilm Instax Square are smaller formats than the 3×4 peel apart film and they are also smaller than 6×7, 6×8, and 6×9 camera formats. So the film will be covered by the entire imaging circle. Instax Square is essentially the size of 6×6 square format too–and as they’re demonstrating in the Kickstarter video for the Rezivot Instant Film Processor, the back will also work with Hasselblad cameras.

Here’s some critical information from the Kickstarter:

Opinion: Please Stop Wearing a Photo Vest if You Don’t Need to Be Wearing a Photo Vest

When I got into this industry years ago, one thing really confused me almost as much as how much certain older photographers tend to treat the younger generation of us: photo vests. I’m completely positive that you’ve all seen them: a photographer of a certain distinguishment (or trying to show off without having said distinguishment) wearing their vests that look a lot like safari vests. You know, almost as if they’re going to go out on an African safari at all times without being anywhere near something like a safari. Walking down the streets doing street photography? You’ll see a photo vest. In the studio? Photo vest! Hiking? Yup, A Photo vest!

Did Canon Miss the Memo That Says Mirrorless Lenses Are Meant to Be Smaller?

When Canon introduced their new Mirrorless cameras earlier on this year (The EOS R) one of the stand out features was that the lens mount was so huge. While other manufacturers like Sony have made all things Mirrorless smaller, the late comer to the Mirrorless party seems to have decided that bigger is better. In a recently released interview, Canon engineers seem to be having a sly dig at Sony by saying that lenses with smaller mounts are far less capable than those with larger mounts. Read on after the break to find out more about what the Canon engineers are wafting on about.

The New Nikon P1000 Has a 125x Optical Zoom with a Laughable 1/2.3 inch Sensor for $999.95

Today, for some odd reason, the Nikon P1000 point and shoot camera is being announced. Odd, you ask? The fact that it is a point and shoot isn’t such a big issue at all; but the fact that it’s a superzoom camera being marketed as one with a 125x optical zoom is what’s insane. Kudos to Nikon for being able to do something like this; but then you read the fine print (or in this case, print that’s not even in the press release) and see the bait and switch–this Nikkor lens is having its potential wasted by being placed in front of a 1/2.3 inch sensor.
