Fuji has purportedly announced a XF14mm (21mm equiv.) f/2.8 and an XF18-55mm (28-85mm equiv.) f/2.8-4 zoom for the X-Pro1. Meanwhile the company has also outlined plans to introduce five further lenses for the camera in 2013;

56(85)mm f/1.4
27(41)mm f/2.8 'pancake'
23(35)mm f/1.4
55-200(85-300)mm f/3.5-4.8 OIS
10-24(15-35)mm f/4

No prices or availability has been mentioned at this time, we're still awaiting official confirmation (but this seems to be the way of doing things now).

Hasselblad H4D-60 review

-
Image
UPDATE 18 May, 2012: Hasseblad is set to reduce the price on the H4D cameras by as much as $11,000 / 6,200 Euros on the H4D-60, bringing the price to 23,900 euros ($30,995 / £21,995). Please see here for more details.

The last couple of decades have been turbulent for medium format camera manufacturers, but now after several well-known names have withdrawn, the market looks healthy. Two new unexpected entrants, Leica and Pentax have added to the dynamic at opposing ends of the pricing scale, forcing the two established system players to compete fiercely in their traditional rarefied role as well as the entry-level.

Partnering with both Leaf and Mamiya, Phase One has developed a trio of entry-level Mamiya DM models starting at under $14k/ £9k while continuing to offer a wide range of Phase One and Leaf backs, up to 80-megapixels. Through various offers and incentives these backs, are most likely to be partnered with the 645DF body but they are in fact compatible with a wide range of …

Billingham 307 Review - Part I

Billingham 307, in Khaki Chocolate
Billingham camera bags need little introduction, they've been the choice of professional photographers since the mid 70's. There have been one or two imitators, most notably the well-regarded Classic range from the sadly defunct CCS (Camera Care Systems) and the hand-made range of bags from FOGG, probably the closest in terms of quality and materials, if not in design (FOGG were always pretty radical). But few have stayed the course, the way Billingham have.

Most know Billingham for the huge pro 550, but the smaller bags, such as the 445 and 335 have been popular with professionals and keen amateurs alike. So, while keeping those in the line-up, it comes as something of a surprise to see a new, similar-looking, 07 range appear alongside. Constructed of Billingham's FibreNyte material, a fabric with an uncanny appearance, not to mention feel, of traditional cotton canvas, there are three models in total; the 107, 207, and a 307 (think S,M…

Introduction


Unlike the process of dithering liquid ink in an inkjet, dye-sublimation printers produce authentic continuous tone images with an analogous look like that of a conventional lab-produced print. They achieve this using thin c…
