An experimental, prototype square-format Leica M model from 1954 that lacks a built-in viewfinder or rangefinder was surprisingly popular at the most recent Wetzlar Camera Auction, pulling in an astounding 687,500 euros hammer price.
Photographer and YouTuber Mathieu Stern recently tested the Fotodiox Rhinocam Vertex, an adapter that claims to allow photographers to easily capture medium format images with a full-frame camera. Not only does it appear to work, but it is also more than that. It is, as he says, "a revolution."
Fotodiox has announced a nifty new "spin" on taking high-resolution, square-shaped, medium-format-style photos using one of many different interchangeable lens mirrorless cameras. The Rhinocam Vertex lets you easily capture four images in a precise way so that stitching them in post is a breeze.
Square format simplifies shooting because you never have to rotate the camera. You can edit the image to any format you like.
Fujifilm has just announced the new Instax Square SQ6, the world's first analog square-format Instax camera.
In this fast-changing age of digital photography, one ingredient missing is a full frame square format camera or digital back. Yes, you can always crop off for a square, but this is not the same as looking through a dedicated square format camera with full resolution. So, what does a photographer preferring the square format do? My option has always been to shoot square format film cameras.
Lomography has just announced the Lomo'Instant Square, the world's first fully analog instant camera that shoots Instax Square film (Fuji's own SQ10 square format camera is a hybrid camera that mixes film and digital).
We know it's coming; Fuji's told us it's coming. The Fujifilm Instax SQUARE camera and SQUARE instant film has already made its teaser debut, but today, newly leaked photos give us our fist look at the new camera and its special square film.
One of the cooler announcements from yesterday's avalanche of Photokina product releases wasn't actually a release at all. Hasselblad debuted an ode to their old V-series, a 75MP square-format concept camera with modular accessories and killer looks.
Fuji made two announcements today. The first, a mirrorless medium format digital camera, rocked the industry. The second... is less dramatic. Fuji is currently developing a square format instant camera and square format Instax instant film.
Alternative focusing screens for DSLRs aren't hard to find, but they usually don't have any guide lines geared toward photographers who are used to framing scenes in a square format. Zurich-based photographer Howard Linton is one such shooter. Linton decided to take matters into his own hands by modifying his DSLR's focusing screen with custom lines etched in using an X-Acto knife.
