Light Lens Lab 28/2.8 9 Element Lens Review: Impressive and Character Rich

A photography lens on a table, accompanied by its packaging box and a storage case. The box features "LIGHT" branding and a small text, "Petapixel Reviews," is overlaid on the bottom right. The background is an out-of-focus room.

Light Lens Lab (LLL) has released a re-creation of Leica’s first generation 28mm f2.8 Elmarit lens introduced in 1965. The Leica lens has become a collector's item known as the 28mm 9 Element. It contains nine spherical surfaced lenses in six groups and the fast f2.8 aperture was a significant improvement from the Summaron f5.6 lens that preceded it. If you can find an original Leica 28mm 9 Element (V1) lens on eBay, prices range from $8,000 to more than $15,000.

Remembering My Father Part III: Bringing His Camera Home

A Nikon camera sits on a white table outdoors with a modern building and greenery in the background. The building has large glass windows and a visible Nikon logo.

"I really want to get the light meter fixed," my dad told me once, years ago. "It's been hard, I don't think they make the parts anymore." By the late 2010s, my dad had given up on ever getting his Nikon Photomic FTn ever working again. This past summer, though, his beloved camera was brought back from the brink.

This New Device Establishes Content Authenticity Using Any Digital Camera

A black device labeled "ATOM" with a red atom symbol and "H1" text on a blue background. The device has a textured surface and a glowing green button.

As a research physicist from MIT, Stuart Sevier learned a lot about reality, technology, and perhaps most importantly, the perception of reality. He veered off his hardcore academic track to pursue the concept of reality from a more engineering-based perspective, ultimately founding Atom Images and working with a talented team to build the Atom H1, a tool built for photographers to capture trusted, authentic images in a world where the line between real and fake is becoming blurrier by the day.

Hunting in Tokyo for My Favorite Classic Nikon Cameras

A person holds a vintage Nikon film camera towards the lens. The camera's body is black with visible details, including the Nikon logo and lens information. The background is slightly blurred, focusing attention on the camera.

Earlier this year, my father passed away and left me with his beloved Nikon F and Photomic FTn. After getting it repaired, I found myself in love with the analog process again and have been revisiting cameras I had long since dismissed. Suddenly, I was confronted with Nikon cameras I had never seen or -- in some cases -- never heard of before.

DJI Neo Review: Aerial Creativity in the Palm of Your Hand

A drone hovers in the foreground with a blurred city skyline and sunset in the background. The image features a "PetaPixel Reviews" banner in the top right corner.

Small drones aren’t a new concept, but when they’re dependable in creating content, they change perceptions, which describes the DJI Neo in a nutshell. As much as DJI has captured so much of the consumer drone market, the Neo also feels like a response to what others have done.
