Fujifilm has just announced a 0.8x wide-angle conversion lens for the X100 today – an adapter promising to extend the X100′s 35mm equivalent focal length to a wider 28mm without jeopardizing the overall image quality the retro-inspired point and shoot is known for.
If you live in the United States and partake in the selling of cameras internationally, or any electric device with a lithium-ion battery for that matter, and regularly employ the services of the United States Postal Service (USPS), you may want to start thinking about alternative shipping methods.
Over the course of the past year, a flurry of ingeniously designed camera accessories have graced the pages of Kickstarter, hoping to not only capitalize on the cash cow crowd-sourcing has become, but also deliver relativity inexpensive tools for the community of independent visual creatives.
“Take a Photo” – the words Sebastian Thrun likely uttered before capturing an image of the moment above – an intimate time spent between him and his son this past weekend, documented by Google’s new augmented reality eyewear initiative dubbed Project Glass.
Every now and again, one of the uber-rare Nikkor 6mm f/2.8 fisheyes make an appearance and set the inter-webs abuzz due to its extreme rarity, unique characteristics and oh yeah, that bank account breaking estimated price-tag of $160,000.00.
The latest case of its resurgence came just weeks ago, when Amateur Photographer was the first to report the legendary lenses’ availability for purchase at Grays of Westminster, a renowned UK retailer who houses goods solely catered to the Nikon shooter.
As the tremendous hoopla surrounding last week’s $160,000 sale of the legendary Nikon 6mm f/2.8 fisheye begins to wind-down, It makes one begin to think about the other outrageous lenses which have graced the industry thought the years. It seems as though those same sentiments were also felt by the good folks at PetaPixel, reminding us of the absolutely behemoth-like super-telephoto from Carl Zeiss which was first debuted at Photokina 2006 – the Apo Sonnar T* 1700mm f/4.
Today, Nikon released an official service notice regarding their EN-EL15 Lithium-Ion Batteries, issuing a recall on a certain number of units which are used in the D7000, D800, D800E, and Nikon 1 V1 cameras.
While it seems as so those users have yet to experience an issue, Nikon is claiming a small number of EN-EL15 batteries are subject to overheating, so much so in fact that the exterior casing may “become deformed” as a result of the heat.
Every once in a blue moon, one of the only few hundred in existence and incredibly expensive Nikkor 6mm f/2.8′s come out of the woodworks and makes an appearance, hoping to capitalize on its reported rarity and cash-in as a result. The latest sighting of Nikon’s legendary fisheye comes from London, where Amateur Photographer (AP) was informed by Gray Levett, co-founder of Grays of Westminster, that he spotted the immense piece of glass “around seven weeks ago” on an overseas trip.
I always appreciate a great video from Dave Dougdale of LearningDSLRVideo.com. His humble approach to doing exactly what the name of his informative website implies, learning DSLR video, is refreshing and resourceful. Case in point, Dave’s latest do-it-yourself project in which he drew upon inspiration from Knoptop’s original viewfinder creation (viewed here) and made a few revisions to a simple formula, resulting in an extremely useful, yet cost effective, tool for the frugal filmmaker.
