The ONA Campbell series are made by traditional Moroccan leather workers. 

Leave it ONA to take the idea of the lens case and find a way to make it super pretty–that’s what the new ONA Campbell series of bags are all about. You see, these aren’t really bags at all. Instead, they’re straight up lens cases. If you’ve never seen these, everyone used to make them. They were designed for when you didn’t want to carry a whole lot of stuff around; your camera would be around your neck and these extra lens pouches would hang around your chest or be in another bag. The ONA Campbell is reinterpreting those cases and making them appropriate for all sorts of small things you may want to tote along with you.

There are two different cases: the Crossbody bag is a tad larger and designed to look like those old vintage lens cases. On the other hand, the other actual lens cases are much more affordable and perhaps more practical for the photographer.

Here’s what ONA is saying about them.

The ONA Campbell Crossbody ($249): The Campbell is an elegant and modern crossbody bag inspired by vintage lens cases and is a wink to our heritage in camera. Its simple silhouette is handcrafted of fine Italian leather by our skilled artisans in Morocco, and is detailed with solid brass hardware. The ultra-suede lined interior is designed to carry your small, everyday essentials with an added layer of protection. The Campbell includes a removable padded wrap that doubles as a lens cleaner. Adjust the leather strap to carry yours over-the-shoulder or crossbody.

The ONA Campbell Lens Case – Small ($69) & Tall ($99): Inspired by vintage lens cases and sleekly reinterpreted by traditional Moroccan leather workers, our Campbell lens case range is handcrafted of fine Italian leather and detailed with solid brass hardware. These must-have accessories feature an ultra-suede lined interior and are designed to secure and protect your lenses or other small valuables when traveling or on everyday adventures.

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.

Opinion: The Fujifilm XT3’s Sensor Still Doesn’t Output Images That Look Totally Like Film (But They’re Nice)

The Fujifilm XT3 (or as they call it, the Fujifilm X-T3) is the company’s latest evolution to their SLR style camera body designed to be a workhorse for many photographers. Despite a whole lot of great and absolutely fantastic things built into the camera, I personally am wondering what Fujifilm’s goal is here with the idea of the X Trans sensor and Film Simulations. One of the reasons why I was so smitten with the X Pro 1 was the fact that it delivered images that really looked like well shot and developed film. To some extent, the Fujifilm XT2 did too but only really with Acros. With the latest iteration, the Fujifilm X-T3, the company is delivering a new 26.2MP X Trans Sensor that delivers the most beautiful colors of any APS-C sensor that we’ve seen. But at the same time, the film simulations just don’t feel right.
