Sigma’s Unique Lens, Another New Instax, and Stephen Wilkes on Printing | The PetaPixel Podcast

This week on the PetaPixel Podcast, the team is joined by photography legend Stephen Wilkes and his 25th anniversary exhibition of his series “America in Detail.” Plus, we’ve got a new reviews aggregator called PixelMeter, Instagram has decided it wants to try long form again, Fujifilm launched another new Instax, and Sigma’s new lens might have vintage vibes, but it has some seriously cool futuristic tech living on the inside. All that and more!

This episode is brought to you by Epson Professional Imaging and their SureColor P-Series photographic printers. For decades, Epson has had the honor of being the choice of the world’s leading photographers – empowering artists with industry leading technology so they can bring their stories and vision to the photographic print.
