Viltrox Announces The AF 35mm F1.4 Pro FE/Z Lens
Professional grade 35mm 1.4 lenses have historically been double the price of this lens, so it's safe to say that it's going to be giving native Sony and Nikon lenses some serious competition.

This looks to be an incredible lens for filmmakers and still photographers (like myself) who appreciate an all manual focus experience, complete with a long focus throw of 210° for precise focusing and a physical aperture ring.

For having such a small footprint, I found the M60 Ultra to be surprisingly powerful, and I honestly can't imagine a better light output in such a compact form factor.

The Epomaker Glyph really does deliver on its promise of a classic typewriter experience with all of the accoutrements that make modern mechanical keyboards such a joy to use.

I freely admit that I'm normally quite methodical and formulaic with my lighting setups. I like what I like, and tend to stick with what works. But using this light has been incredibly freeing and encouraged me to push well past my comfort zone.

The Mint Low Profile Switches on the Luma100 strike what I believe to be the perfect middle ground between Epomaker's Creamy Jade switches and their Sea Salt Silent V2 switches.

Those other flashes are certainly going to be more powerful, but the actual look of the image they produce is arguably inferior to the Vintage Z1 Pro.

It's a tall order to be sure. But with the release of the Epomaker RT100 Pro, I may have found the most elegant mechanical keyboard that I've had the pleasure of using to date.
The creative advantage of these mechanical constraints however, is that you're left with a shooting experience completely free from the distractions of technological paralysis.
This time however, my aim was to retain the full access to information and connectivity that smartphones are essential for, but without the addictive stimulation. The idea here is to keep all the utility that makes the iPhone amazing but keep yourself in the driver seat.
My version includes the Sea Salt Silent V2 Switches which I've become a huge fan of due to their muted nature. These particular switches exude a distinctly quiet typing experience while still retaining the gratifying physical responsiveness of what makes mechanical keyboards so lovely to use.
Shooting this Viltrox lens on the Fujifilm X100 bodies was nothing less than a pleasure, so much so I started looking up X100V prices on the couch earlier and wished I hadn’t. Nothing good comes cheap, you say. To which I reply, Wrong. Have you seen how much these Viltrox conversion lenses are?
For example, if I were to shoot a commercial job on film (as rare as that might be these days), I would choose T-Max 400 almost every time because it offers a distinctly cleaner aesthetic while still maintaining the highly sought after film look.
It's a compelling choice for the same reasons that people choose to read physical books, shoot film with a Leica rangefinder, or drive a manual transmission vehicle. It won't necessarily get you to your destination any faster, but the journey is so much more enjoyable.
"The best artists tend to be the ones with the most sensitive antennae to draw in the energy resonating at a particular moment. Many great artists first develop sensitive antennae not to create art but to protect themselves. They feel everything more deeply."
I'd long convinced myself that film presets just weren't comparable to real analog film and that there wasn't anymore innovation in this space, but Color Precision has proven me wrong on both fronts.
Checking in with these scores daily is a great habit, but where the data really becomes an asset is measuring the progress over time. Since I’ve started using the Ultrahuman Ring Air I’ve been able to see my habits change.
Amidst an increasingly bold lineup of noteworthy sneakers, the New Balance 9060 still manages to stand out for all the right reasons. It completely encompasses the hallmarks of what has made the company such a remarkable success in recent history.
And when you consider that the price of a genuine Speedmaster is simply unattainable for most, the Moonswatch 1965 presents a unique value proposition for those who want to enjoy classic Omega styling at an entry level price point.
