Biking and Hiking My Way Across Kyrgyzstan With a Fujifilm X-E5

A split-screen view shows a cyclist riding through a vast, mountainous landscape under dramatic light and cloudy skies.

Sweating with labored breath, I push my fully loaded bicycle over Kyrgyzstan’s 12,400-foot Koi Dzolu Pass. The 23,000-foot peaks of the Pamir Mountains loom above while storms dance on either side, pelting me with occasional hail. In moments like this, I deeply appreciate every ounce shaved from my setup to stay mobile.

Samyang AF 60-180mm f/2.8 Review: A Trinity Completed

A black camera lens with the text "Schneider-KREUZNACH" and "LK SAMYANG 60-180 F2.8" on the front element, set against a purple background with a "PetaPixel Reviews" logo in the top left corner.

The two major third-party manufacturers from Japan have a complete trinity of full-frame professional f/2.8 zoom lenses. Sigma has long had a complete set, and Tamron has its excellent G2 series finalized. The Chinese companies are only now venturing into the autofocusing pro zoom lens market, but Samyang, out of Korea, has worked very hard — and quickly — to complete its full set, too. With the release of the new $1,099 Samyang X Schneider Kreuznach AF 60-180mm f/2.8, that goal is realized.

Not everyone is stoked that smartphones keep getting larger, offering ever-bigger displays. In fact, some people are very much in love with the small phones of years past. New smartphone company Enough believes there are, well, enough of those people to justify launching an all-new small smartphone in 2026.

Wandrd Magnetic Camera Straps Review: A Substantive Reinvention of the Humble Camera Strap?

A Sony camera with a lens attached sits on a textured gray surface, connected to a green and black camera strap with a detached anchor link nearby.

Camera straps are one of those accessories that don't always get much attention until something about them becomes inconvenient. Switching between straps, dealing with attachment hardware, or having buckles knock against camera equipment can all become minor annoyances over time. Wandrd's new Magnetic Camera Strap System takes a different approach, using magnetic alignment and a mechanical locking mechanism to make connecting and removing a camera quicker.

Apple M5 Max MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Review: Don’t Touch It

A silver laptop sits on a white surface, displaying a vibrant image of a person in red, next to a close-up of colorful, abstract digital art, with a PetaPixel Reviews logo at the bottom.

Apple's new, highest-end MacBook Pro diverged from the last few launches in that it didn't focus on performance at all, but rather leaned on a feature the company famously said would never come to macOS: touch control. I get why Apple did this, but touch isn't at all a reason to get this computer. But to be clear, that doesn't mean you shouldn't get this computer. Quite the opposite, in fact.
