Mandler 50mm f/1.4 Pre-A Review: Looks and Feels Like a Leica for a Fraction of the Price

I feel like I’m struggling to keep my head above water in the deep ocean of the Chinese M-mount lens world. With so many manufacturers and so many different approaches, a reviewer like me can feel overwhelmed. Still, I keep treading these waters because this category can be so exciting. And the $368 Mandler 50mm f/1.4 is worth getting excited about.

The Best Premium Compact Cameras to Gift This Holiday Season, and Why Buying Used From MPB Makes Sense

You’ve heard it before: the best camera is the one you have with you, and premium compact cameras are what you should be carrying.
Sometimes you want the power of a mirrorless camera or your DSLR, but they're too big to carry regularly. You don’t need to sacrifice by leaving a camera at home. A premium compact camera solves your problem. Well, one other thing. For many, these cameras are usually out of budget, but as always, there is a solution. Buying a new camera these days is a challenge in itself. They are either out of stock or overpriced, but MPB has them.

Stanley Kubrick shot entire rooms in "Barry Lyndon" by candlelight in 1975, something that had never been done before in color. The way he did it comes down to a chain of decisions, most of them driven by hard numbers about how much light a film camera actually needs.

Apple fans have been waiting for a touchscreen MacBook Pro with an OLED display. Instead, Apple released an entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro with its new M6 chip, starting at $1,999. And it's confusing: the newest chip in the lineup is the base model, while the older M5 Pro and M5 Max chips sitting right next to it on Apple's store are still the faster, more capable options for a lot of photo and video work.

How the 'Blue Marble' Became One of the Most Reproduced Photographs in History

One of the most reproduced photographs of Earth ever made was shot upside down. When an Apollo 17 astronaut framed the fully lit planet through a Hasselblad on December 7, 1972, the South Pole sat at the top and Africa ran sideways, exactly as the crew saw it on the way to the Moon. The version fixed in your memory has been turned a half circle from the original frame.

Why Your Background Blur Doesn't Match the Tutorial

The f-number on your lens tells you how bright your exposure will be, and it says far less about how blurry your background will turn out. If you've ever copied a recommended aperture and ended up with a frame that looked nothing like the example, the gap usually traces back to the size of your sensor and how far you stood from your subject.

The Sony FS100 records 1080p to 8-bit files, has no built-in ND filters, and is well over a decade old, yet plenty of filmmakers relied on it for documentaries and corporate interviews. Cheap used cinema cameras like it raise a fair question about how much of a good image comes from the camera and how much comes from the person running it.

$1,000 New vs $1,000 Used: Olympus PEN F vs OM System PEN

The Olympus PEN F is easily one of the sexiest cameras you will ever hold, full stop. It deserved to become an instant classic when it hit the streets, and ten years later, the resale market price holds this statement to be true. When I reviewed it so many years ago, I fell in love with the camera, not just because it was gorgeous, but because it was so functional.

Why Passport Photo Rules Are So Strict: The Biometric Science of a Boring Picture

Your passport photo got rejected because of a shadow. Not a dramatic one. A soft gradient under your jaw, maybe a quarter-shade darker than your cheek, the kind of thing you would never notice and the clerk who handed the print back probably could not have described either.

Sony FX5: Do Open Gate, IBIS, and Anamorphic Desqueeze Work Together?

Open gate recording, in-body stabilization, and anamorphic desqueeze have become the most requested features on compact cinema cameras, and the Sony FX5 is the first Sony to offer all three in one body. Whether those features can run at the same time affects how you rig, monitor, and shoot, especially if you work handheld with anamorphic glass.

Why Flawless Retouching Now Looks Like AI

For about a decade, glass-smooth skin and spotless frames marked a careful retoucher, and that exact look is now what image generators produce best. If a client scrolling your portfolio can't tell your work from a prompt, they have one less reason to book you.

Sony and Nikon Built the Same Bird Lenses, So Which One Do You Pick?

Sony's new 400mm f/4.5 and 600mm f/6.3 primes come in lighter and cheaper than the Nikon lenses they closely resemble, and that puts a real decision in front of anyone who shoots birds and wildlife. Long glass is usually the most expensive and physically demanding part of a wildlife kit, so a few hundred grams and a four-figure price gap can shape what you carry for years.

Three 200-megapixel cameras on a smartphone is a compelling way to frame a flagship when no one else has done it to date. Oppo’s Find X10 Pro Max may break ground there, but the company’s engineers are chasing something else on the software side: originality.

Why I Take the Chance When Planning a Landscape Photography Trip

Planning a landscape photography trip is something I spend a considerable amount of time doing, and living here in Ireland means that checking the weather is an important part of that process. The conditions can change quickly, and even when you use several weather forecasting apps, there is never a guarantee that things will work out as you hoped. However, I have learned that waiting for a forecast that promises perfect conditions can mean missing opportunities that were worth pursuing in the first place.

The Tiny Head-Mounted Camera That Captured the World Cup Final Is Immortalized In a Museum

These days, it's not unusual for a referee in a professional sports match to wear a camera. The Premier League debuted it last year, and it's becoming increasingly common in other sports like baseball, football, and ice hockey. Now, the head-mounted RefCam worn by the referee during the 2026 World Cup Final has been immortalized in a German museum.

What a Telephoto Lens Can Do With a Sea of Fog

A telephoto lens pointed at a sea of fog turns one broad, washed-out view into dozens of small pictures: a single ridge, a clump of treetops, a slow waterfall of mist spilling over a hill. Fog shifts by the minute and the best light on it can vanish in seconds, so the decisions you make before anything happens determine whether you come home with frames or just a nice morning.

How a Lagos Ballet Photo Won the $10,000 Flickr x Black Women Photographers Grant

The children chose the spot. Nyancho NwaNri was photographing a ballet class at a free school in Lagos, Nigeria, when she asked the young dancers where else they wanted to be photographed, and they led her outside to a worn concrete platform. The frame she made there, "Of Grace and Concrete," won the 2026 Flickr x Black Women Photographers grant, the biggest award in the program's four cycles.
