    Phase One announces Phase One XC fixed-lens camera

    June 28, 2023 /

    Phase One has introduced the Phase One XC, a fixed-lens camera with a Rodenstock HR Digaron-S 23mm f/5.6 lens and a choice of IQ4 150 colour or Achromatic (monochrome) digital back. The camera retails at $62,500, or £48,689, plus Tax. In the past, the IQ4 150 Achromatic has always been priced above the “standard” colour IQ4 150 digital back, so it’s unclear at this time whether that’s offered as an extra incentive or if there will be a price adjustment later. The Rodenstock HR Digaron-S 23mm f/5.6 is a 15mm equivalent (with an equivalent F3.5 DOF) so it’s ideal for interiors and architecture, albeit without the shift movements of the…

    Nikon Z8 and Z9 firmware out of sync

    June 20, 2023 /

    Reading about the Nikon Z8 and Z9 firmware being out of sync reminded me of how camera companies are set up in Japan. In the West, we tend to think of them as run top-down, working as one, but that’s not the case in Japan. Factories there are mostly autonomous with head offices having only limited control over them. Ironically perhaps, the bigger the companies are the more autonomy each factory has. And each in turn is run competitively against the other. Nikon hasn’t made it clear if both models are made in the same factory or not but, even if they are, it’s likely that they have different software…

    Leica SL2 silver version announced

    June 16, 2023 /

    Leica has released the Leica SL2 in a chrome version, or what Leica call a “silver” anodised finish. With a £280 increase over the black body, taking the price to £6,200 (body only), it’s quite a premium. Nevertheless, the consensus here is that it looks good. What’s more, like most chrome bodies the finish will likely be more durable over the long term than the black option. Curiously the US press release states that only 1000 silver chrome bodies will be made, making it a limited edition. If anything says the SL2 is about to be replaced with the SL3 this is it. I’ve been hugely tempted to buy into…

    Sigma announce 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art series lens for Sony E- and L-mount cameras

    June 9, 2023 /

    Sigma has announced a new high-grade Art series 14mm F1.4 DG DN lens for Sony E (FE) and Leica L-mount cameras. It is available from the 23rd June at £1399 inc VAT or $1599 in the US.   Preorder WEX (Sony FE mount/ Leica L-Mount) B&H Photo US Sigma says the lens has been “optically optimised” for astrophotography and it’s described as the World’s fastest lens for this kind of work and thus should be highly corrected for coma at infinity focus. However, it’s important to stress the lens also is corrected through profiling in-camera as well; through the use of what’s now being euphemistically called “digital or mathematical elements”.…

    Sony A7R V sensor review online at DXOMARK

    June 6, 2023 /

    My write-up of the sensor performance of the Sony A7R V is online at DXOMARK. The sensor is similar in performance to the 45.7 MP BSI sensors, but with a small increase in resolution (pixel count) this is an improvement all things considered. Resolution isn’t measured, for that, you would need to look at a lens review to get some idea.

    Leica Q3 announced: 60MP BSI CMOS sensor and Tilting Screen

    May 25, 2023 /

    The Leica Q3 has been announced with a similar (but not identical) 60MP BSI CMOS sensor as the Leica M11 (and Sony A7 IV and V). The new model also features a fold-out LCD which is the first significant departure in design for the Q. The price is £5,300 inc VAT. The new Leica Q3 features the triple-resolution feature (pixel binning from the native 60MP, giving a choice of 18MP and 36MP options) seen in the Leica M11. Leica says RAW files are around 70 MB depending on the ISO/content, which appears to be lossless compressed RAW (DNG). In any case, there’s no option for uncompressed RAW. Presumably, it’s the…

    Leica M11 review

    March 3, 2022 /

    Leica M11 – what came before? The Leica M11 is the successor to the Leica M10, indeed to the uninitiated it looks practically identical. This is just as well as the Leica M10 was in effect a refinement of the Leica M (Typ 240), particularly with the larger, more durable rangefinder, more logical button layout, and improved menu operation. However, while there were some slight gains in noise and DR the M10 sensor’s similar pixel count likely hindered sales. Still, it wasn’t until the introduction of the M10-R some 18 months or so ago that we saw the real successor to the Leica M (Typ 240) models. As good as…

    Canon adds heavy-hitting RF 800mm F5.6 and 1200mm F8 super-telephoto lenses to range

    February 25, 2022 /

    Canon has added the RF 800mm F5.6 and RF 1200mm F8 to their mirrorless EOS R series cameras using the RF mount. This is presumably due to Canon experiencing a little pressure from Sony, as they’ve recently started targeting sports and action photographers with high speed telephotos to go with the Sony A9 and A1 cameras. Even Nikon have announced an interesting alternative with their PF 800mm F6.3, which appears to be targeting birders but no doubt, due to the smaller sizer and lower weight, but will also appeal to sports photographers. It’s a prudent move from Canon, however these two new lenses aren’t quite what they appear to be.…
