Ask Albert!



Here's your chance to pick the brains of one of the world's most successful fashion and commercial photographers over the last four decades!



We will meet with Albert next week, so write your questions below and the five best ones will be rewarded with a Capture One Pro license as well Albert's reply.



First, check out this video where Albert talks about his career and the story behind some of his most iconic images: https:http://bit.ly/1rFmtgG

Full Sony RX100M3 specs!


This is going to be a hell of a compact camera! We just got the specs via SAR and this is what the new camera can do:

20MP sensor (same as RX100/M2 models)

ISO 125-25600

24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens

Built in View finder (SVGA OLED Tru-Finder 1440k dots)

Tiltable screen (180 degrees up)

Record in XAVC S format (Same format of the Sony A7s but with no 4K output option).

Almost same size and weight as the current RX100/M2 models.

I have been told all other specs are the same of the current RX100II model.

Price is said to be around 800-850 Euro in Europe. Should be around $800-850 in USA (US price is my guess)


This will be the best compact camera ever made!

Fuji to launch the impressive 16mm f/1.4 and 140-400mm lenses!


Fujirumors unveiled the updated roadmap according to their trusted sources. First of all Fuji will launch an impressive XF 16mm f/1.4 lens at Photokina!


And they will also launch a 120-400mm OIS lens which surely will become popular among bird photographers and spies :)


The third good news is that the soon to come 18-135mm lens will become 1 stop faster at the tele end. Instead of the expected f/5.6 the lens will have a f/4.8 aperture at 135mm!


Fuji really knows what lenses has to be done to make a system popular!

Samyang announces three new Cine Lenses for Mirrorless system cameras!


Samyang announced three new Cine lenses for mirrorless system cameras: The 7,5mm T/3.8 fisheye Cine lens which comes for Micro Four Thirds mount only. The other two, the 10mm and 12mm T/2.2 Cine lenses will be available for all mirrorless systems.


PRESS RELEASE:


Nearly a month after their market release, Samyang 10mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS CS and Samyang 12 mm f/2.0 NCS CS lenses are now available in their equivalent cine versions: Samyang 10mm T3.1 Cine and 12mm T2.2 Cine. Samyang VDSLR cine lenses feature aperture and focus rings with sprocket wheels controlling their work through Follow Focus systems. This allows for noiseless and smooth adjustment of the above parameters during filming.


Samyang 10mm T3.1 Cine and 12mm T2.2 Cine have nanocrystal anti-reflective layer (NCS) that ensures better light transmission, increased resistance to light reflections and higher contrast, which improves optical resolution of the lenses.


Samyang 12 mm in photo and cine versions fills the gap among lenses dedicated for mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensor, large angle of view and high brightness. The lens has been designed for cameras fitted with a high resolution sensor (above 24 mln pixels). Samyang Optics company is renowned among clients for great quality optics offered at affordable prices. And this is also the case with 10mm and 12 lenses which provide technical parameters and optical potential that can easily compete with the best wide-angle prime and zoom lenses available on the market.


And last, but not least, the offer also includes Samyang 7.5mm T3.8 Fish-eye Cine. This is a cine version of a meticulously designed manual fish-eye lens which provides diagonal field of vision equal to 180 degrees. Despite its small size, Samyang 7.5mm T3.8 Cine produces images with splendid parameters and exceptional vividness, and the minimal focusing distance amounts to only 0.09 meters.

Panasonic GH4 preorders exceed expectations. Sony A7s pricing to be announced next week!


Den Lennie talks about the A7s High Iso performance


It's 4K news and rumor time on MirrorlessRumors :)


First of all Panasonic Japan announced that the GH4 preorders exceeded the expectations and Panasonic will have a hard time meeting the demand. That's why some delay has to be taken into account if you are waiting to grab a camera.


Secondly a highly trusted source just told us that the Sony A7s pricing will be announced next week on May 1. But it will be at least double as high as the price of the GH4 ($1699 now at Amazon).

Did you miss out on Tim's favorite feature of the Phase One camera system? Check it out here: http://bit.ly/1ho52vp



After the shoot we had the chance to talk to Tim in detail about why he uses medium format and the benefits of leaf shutter lenses.



Phase One: As an action sports photographer, why do you use a medium format camera system?



Tim Kemple: When people ask me what I like most about shooting medium format, usually they think I love the number of megapixels that it has – but that’s not it. I don’t always need more megapixels. I need better pixels. I need more dynamic range and I need to be able to shoot at high flash syncs.



PO: Why is the fast flash sync capabilities of a leaf shutter lens so important to the way you shoot?



TK: I need the ability to control the lighting on location and freeze the action with the off-camera flash that I love to use. I also need to balance the ambient light with the flash light and the best camera that I’ve shot with, that let’s me do that, is the Phase One system.



PO: Have you tried shooting with any other systems that can produce fast flash sync speeds?



TK: Don’t get me wrong, I’m fully aware of the other solutions and what they can do with a 35mm camera, I do it all the time – I’m well experienced with that. But the bottom line is that you can’t compare them to the amount of light and quality of light that you get on a consistent basis with a leaf shutter lens. The biggest thing with other systems is that they don't use all the power of the flash and they aren’t always reliable which means you can miss a crucial shot.

After leaving Justine in Los Angeles, we jumped on a flight to Sydney and after landing found ourselves with a (strange) lack of jet lag and a few hours to spare. So Tim came up with the idea for this shoot in this incredible location where he demonstrates the benefits of fast flash sync speeds that are possible with the Schneider Kreuznach leaf shutter lenses.
