DXOMark have been hard at work putting one of Panasonic’s new cameras through boot camp, and it has passed with flying colors. The Panasonic S1R has set a new standard for Full Frame camera sensors as it has displaced the Nikon D850 from it’s third place spot. This means the Panasonic S1R is only bested by the Medium Format Pentax 645Z and the Hasselblad X1D-50C. Join us after the break for more details about the DMOMark results.
Last night, a number of B&H Photo affiliate partners were sent an email about a new way that B&H Photo is trying to change the game for online purchasing. The new system is called Payboo, and once you get passed the eye-roll-worthy name, you start to see some great sounding things. The idea behind Payboo is that B&H Photo is trying to go back to the way things were when they didn’t need to charge state sales tax for online sales. Amazon and others need to do this according to the law, and when you think about it ethically it really just makes sense to pay your taxes anyway. Since they had to make that change, B&H Photo lost a competitive edge as even New York residents would ship a product to a friend to Jersey and then have said friend bring the goods to NYC for them.

Reviewing the Tokina 16-28mm f2.8 OPERA lens was a bit of an odd thing for me as it goes against much of what I really want in a modern lens these days. While the focal lengths are limited in their range, the price point is kept down well over $1,000. It was disheartening that I couldn’t take it into very rainy situations due to the lack of weather sealing. But again, this all comes with a lower price point. Though this may seem like a way of cheaping out the customer, they’re not. The Tokina 16-28mm f2.8 OPERA has some beautiful image quality that will satisfy many a photographer. With some very sharp optics inside this lens, I was also very pleased to see that it delivers images with pleasing bokeh. Though at the same time, I really wish that Tokina didn’t hold back at all.
Not so long ago, we excitedly reported the sweet lineup of the greatest and rarest Leica cameras that await us at the 34th run of the Leitz Photographica Auction (formerly WestLicht Photographica Auction).

To really understand the Alter Rapid Filter system, you need to analyze how lots of modern photojournalism work is done. There is a greater demand for both high quality video and stills both. We can talk all day about the quality of a still frame taken from a video, but the quality still isn’t there yet for those of us that want to see it super large. And so, the Alter Rapid Filter System accommodates to the needs of the photographer that needs to shoot both video and photo often in the same setting. My days as a tech journalist showed me that this is something that needs to be done pretty often when on a location. And being able to use the Alter Rapid Filter System makes things a whole lot easier.
APS-C cameras are excellent overall, and they are loved by many for good reason. The extra reach due to the crop factor comes in handy for nature and sports photographers, and their smaller size makes them easier to carry around. As great as they are though, it can be difficult to find true ultra-wide, and wide angle lenses though which are needed for those who like to practice, astrophotography, landscape photography, street photography, and environmental portraiture. Fortunately the collection is growing on the Sony platform now. Here we will take a look at some of our favorite ultra-wide, and wide angle E Mount lenses for Sony APS-C cameras.
