Everyone that knows me knows that I love shooting with extreme wide-angle lenses. When I had just gotten the original a7 and no native (fast) wide-angle lenses were available yet, I was always shooting with the Samyang 14mm.
After months of rumors and speculation, Sony has officially unveiled the FE 12-24mm f/2.8 G Master lens, styled as the "world's widest full-frame zoom with a constant f/2.8 aperture"... with a price tag worthy of the name.

Photographer and YouTuber Duncan Dimanche has posted a quick tutorial that'll show you how to create your own DIY wall charging station on the cheap. Depending on your needs this setup can cost as little as $60, and the results look almost as good and functional as some of the more serious builds we've featured.
The two strangest lenses Canon is reportedly going to launch on Thursday are the RF 600mm f/11 and the RF 800mm f/11. Now, we have our first leaked photos to show us why exactly Canon has decided to make these lenses so slow. As expected: they're incredibly small and hand-holdable.
This past weekend, Canon was planning to launch its 5D Mark III-based CE-SAT 1B satellite camera into orbit, but it was not meant to be. The satellite was supposed to go as part of Rocket Lab's aptly named mission "Pics or It Didn’t Happen," but the Electron vehicle experienced "an anomaly" and all 7 micro-satellites onboard—including Canon's—were destroyed.
South Dakota photographer Aaron Groen is under fire from the storm chasing community this morning after a photograph of his went viral on Facebook. Groen says the photo shows "the best tornado I've seen," describing how the raw files from the shoot still scare him. However, seasoned photographers and storm chasers alike are claiming that it's "clearly fake."
Over the weekend, Mirrorless Rumors got their hands on a leaked photo and some exciting information about the 8K and 4K video modes in the upcoming Canon EOS R5. The headline news: there is no crop in 8K or 4K/120p, and the camera doesn't seem to be limited by overheating issues.
In the interest of creating a more diverse and inclusive brand, Fujifilm has announced some changes to its "X-Photographer" ambassador program. These include the creation of a new "Creator Website," plans to add 10 diverse new photographers to the roster, and the creation of a transparent process by which photographers can "get on the path" to becoming an ambassador.
Automotive photographer Dave Cox (AKA ShootingDave) recently put together a handy step-by-step tutorial that shows you exactly how he uses light painting to capture dramatic car photos when working in a tight space like a workshop.

A couple in Laguna Beach, CA got more than they bargained for during what should have been a beautiful wedding shoot on the coast. During the shoot, a rogue literally swept the couple off their feet and into the ocean, where lifeguards had to come to their rescue.
Getty Images has announced an... interesting partnership with the creators of the video game Gran Turismo. In light of the pandemic and the rise of eSports, the photo agency will begin using "world-class motorsports photographers" to capture "stunning in-game photography" from the FIA's Gran Turismo Championships. In other words: Getty is now licensing video game screenshots.
After months of rumors and development announcements and price speculation and uncertainty about when exactly Canon would reveal the EOS R5 and EOS R6, we now have confirmation from the company itself: Canon has scheduled a "Virtual Product Launch" livestream for 8am Eastern Time on July 9th, right on schedule.
Recent industry-shaking news aside, Olympus isn't going anywhere just yet. In fact, earlier today, the company revealed an updated lens roadmap and released OM-D Webcam Beta Software: a Windows-only program that turns several of the most popular OM-D cameras into webcams for livestreaming and video conferencing.
Earlier this week, Apple announced the winners of its annual 'Design Awards,' and as usual, one of the honorees was a photo editing app. This year, that app was Darkroom, and while the photo and video editor for iOS is impressive in its own right, the most interesting thing about Darkroom might be the story behind how it came to be.
It's not just Canon and Sony who are planning to release new gear this month. According to Nikon Rumors, Nikon is preparing its own announcement. On or around July 21st, the company will release the Nikon Z5 and three new Z lenses, including the long-awaited 14-24mm f/2.8 S.

Wildlife photographers who shoot with Sony have been limited when it comes to lens choice. The Sony 100-400mm GM was released in early 2017, but the price ($2,500) was out of reach for many. Last year, Sony released the 200-600mm G, which was a bit more budget friendly ($2,000) but is a pretty large lens to carry around on wildlife hikes.
The folks at filter manufacturer H&Y have just unveiled a variable step-up ring for your camera lens filters called the REVORING.

Ask any retoucher what one item they couldn't live without, and they will probably point to their photo editing tablet. Swapping your mouse for a pen tablet can make a huge difference for your workflow, but is it really worth spending $380 on the Wacom Intuos Pro that everyone seems to be using? Are there any affordable alternatives? I'm glad you asked!
A 72-year-old woman was gored several times by a wild bison in Yellowstone National Park last week after she allegedly got within 10 feet of the animal "multiple times" in order to take its picture.

NASA has released a new timelapse titled "A Decade of Sun," and it's exactly what it sounds like. Using 425 million images captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) since it began monitoring the sun in 2010, NASA has created a timelapse of the sun in which every second represents one day.
Here's an interesting idea: what if you could teach someone all of the basics of photography by simply giving them a deck of playing cards? That's exactly what a new Kickstarter campaign for the so-called "Photography Deck" wants to deliver.
The latest "spy cam" clip from the PBS docu-series Spy in the Wild 2 takes the robot camera bit farther than before. Not only did they use a robot "spy turtle" to capture the nesting process up close, the spy actually laid its own "camera eggs" that captured what it's like to be attacked by vultures looking for a quick meal.
Leaps in storage capacity are pretty common these days. However, the biggest jump in archival media storage won't come from spinning disks or solid state drives—Fujifilm is currently working on cramming an incredible 400TB worth of of capacity onto a single magnetic tape drive.
