Inside the Mexican Suitcase: The Spanish Civil War Negatives Lost for 68 Years

1 hour 46 min ago

In December 2007, three small cardboard boxes reached the International Center of Photography in New York holding 126 rolls of 35mm film and roughly 4,500 negatives that had been missing since 1939. Inside was a visual record centered on the Spanish Civil War as seen by Robert Capa, Gerda Taro, and David "Chim" Seymour, three young photographers who helped invent modern war reporting before all three of them were killed on assignment.

Useful Camera and Tech Accessories and Tools You Can 3D Print Yourself

6 hours 46 min ago

Whether you do photography as a hobby or professionally, there are a lot of tools and accessories that make what we do easier, more convenient, or even more foolproof. Sometimes even the simplest tools can be instrumental in how we achieve our shots or, on the other hand, something equally important: how we take care of our camera gear. Whatever these tools are and no matter how simple, we often need to buy them from a physical store or an online source that will take a couple of days to ship.

Sigma's 85mm f/1.2: Beautiful Bokeh, One Real Weakness

7 hours 46 min ago

Sigma just released an 85mm f/1.2 DG Art for L-mount and Sony E-mount, and it lands at £1,299 in the UK or $1,599 in the US. That price sits well under Canon's and Nikon's mirrorless 85mm f/1.2 options, and the Sigma is smaller and lighter than both.

Can One 350-Gram Zoom Really Be Your Only Travel Lens?

9 hours 46 min ago

Packing a single lens for a long trip means giving up options you might miss, and the Sigma 20-60mm f/2.8-4 makes that gamble easier to justify. The range covers wide landscapes, tight architecture, and portraits without a bag full of glass.

11 hours 46 min ago

Photoshop's beta 27.11 introduces Enhance Edge, an AI feature that promises to erase the halos that show up when you drop a masked subject onto a contrasting background. Hair cutouts have frustrated retouchers for decades, and any tool that claims to solve them deserves a hard look before you trust it on real work.

Two Action Cameras, $260 Apart: Which One Earns It

13 hours 46 min ago

A 1-inch, 50-megapixel sensor, 8K open gate, and slow motion running past 900 frames per second sit on one side. A smaller sensor, a faster lens, and a $260 lower price sit on the other. That gap is the whole story, and deciding which camera wins depends less on the spec sheet than you'd expect.

From 20mm to 60mm: I Test Sigma’s New Full Frame Compact All-Rounder

20 hours 16 min ago

Sigma is adding an interesting new option to its full frame mirrorless standard zoom lineup: a lens that combines a 20mm wide angle starting point with a compact, lightweight design. The idea was to create a versatile zoom that can stay on the camera most of the time, reducing the need to carry multiple lenses or constantly stop to change them. That makes it particularly appealing for travel, hiking, street photography, and anyone who wants to keep their camera setup as light and mobile as possible.

The Best Value Lens for Every Camera Mount You Can Buy Now

Tue 8 Sep 2026 10:03pm

Every camera mount has one lens that makes the rest of the lineup look overpriced. It is rarely the flashiest piece of glass in the catalog, and it is almost never the one the marketing pushes hardest. What follows is the single best value in each major mount you can still buy new today, one pick apiece, from Canon RF through Leica M and the two medium format systems to the three DSLR mounts that refuse to die.

Finding a New Perspective With the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports Lens

Tue 8 Sep 2026 5:03pm

Certain pieces of photographic equipment make you rethink the way you photograph, and for me, the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports lens was one of those lenses. I should probably start by admitting that wildlife photography isn't really my usual territory. I'm primarily a landscape photographer, and most of my photographic life has involved looking for dramatic mountains, interesting light, and compositions that don't move. Wildlife, or should I say in this instance local wildlife, by comparison, has always seemed like a rather different discipline.

From Circular to Diagonal: Hands-On With the Sony FE 8-14mm F3.5 Fisheye G

Tue 8 Sep 2026 3:03pm

What if you could replace your heaviest ultra-wide rig with a single, highly specialized piece of glass that fits in the palm of your hand? 

I recently headed down to the Old Town car show in Kissimmee, Florida, to take the Sony FE 8-14mm f/3.5 Fisheye G lens for a test drive and see exactly what it could do. Surrounded by neon lights, massive crowds, and pristine classic cars, it was the ideal proving ground to see if I could minimize my physical load while maximizing creative flexibility.

Three Anchor Points to Kill Aperture Overthinking

Tue 8 Sep 2026 2:03pm

Aperture stalls you in the field because you treat it as a math problem with dozens of correct answers. The same setting looks different across cameras, lenses, and shooting distances, so memorizing what each value produces is a losing bet.

The Cheapest Autofocus 85mm You Can Buy, Tested Against a G Master

Tue 8 Sep 2026 12:03pm

Put two portrait shots side by side, one taken with an $1,800 Sony lens and one taken with a $99 lens, and most people can't call which is which at a glance. That gap between price and image quality is worth understanding before you spend money on your next portrait lens.

The Funnest Drone to Fly, With One Big Image-Quality Catch

Tue 8 Sep 2026 10:03am

A 360 camera bolted to a 249 g drone changes how you fly, because you stop fighting the camera and the flight path at the same time. That single shift is what makes the Antigravity A1 worth a serious look, and it explains why one creator kept reaching for it long after the video was supposed to be finished.
