by: Photo-John

Sony Alpha System Display

Fri, 13 Mar 2009 13:33:20 -0400

by: Photo-John

Description}: Sony has shown a real dedication to the Alpha DSLR system. I'm impressed. This case at their PMA booth showed all the bodies and lenses and it's a pretty substantial amount of gear now. No, they don't have as many lenses as Nikon or Canon. But most photographers don't need that many lenses. They've got the basics covered, and covered well. I'm not really sure what that monster at the top is. But it sure does look impressive.

Skinned Olympus Tough 9000 Digital Camera

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 16:39:57 -0400

by: Photo-John

Description}: I think this is kind of cool. Olympus has a new partnership with a company called skinit. You can go to the skinit Web site and select your camera and they'll put a skin on it for you. You can create one of your own designs or use one of theirs. I checked the site and Olympus isn't listed yet. So it may be a little while before they're up and running on the skinit site. But this is definitely a fun idea. www.skinit.com

Canon TS-E 24mm Tilt-Shift Lens

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 19:46:07 -0400

by: Photo-John

Description}: Canon's updated 24mm Tilt-Shift lens. The new 24mm Tilt-Shift has a new rotation feature which rotates between the tilt and shift movements instead of behind them, at the lens mount. This means you can operate the two movements completely separately for better depth-of-field and perspective control.

Swarovski Digiscoping Pentax K20

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 18:06:58 -0400

by: SmartWombat

Description}: I thought digiscoping was limited to P&S camera, as that's how I remember it starting with the twist-bodied Nikon coolpix. It seems an inexpensive way to get a 1200mm lens for a DSLR. They were using the pancake lenses as they are a better match to the eye relief of the zoom eyepiece using the DCA adapter. At long focal lengths you need really still air, a good tripod, and the small effective aperture (f/10, 1/13) may force you to push the ISO up. But the results can be spectacular. I think that cameras with sensor shift IS, and live view, will be better suited, as there is less vibration on taking the image, and framing and focussing will be simpler. Compatible cameras list: http://www.digiscoperoftheyear.com/upload/media/media/3/doy_slr_cameras%5B5%5D.pdf

Agfa branded film

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 16:04:15 -0400

by: SmartWombat

Description}: The Agfa brand is back, in the hands of AgfaPhoto Holding GmbH, Lupus Imaging & Media GmbH Co. KG, and plawa-feinwerktechnik GmbH & Co. KG. Film catalog details here: http://www.lupus-imaging-media.com/images/stories/downloads/analog_film/agfaphoto_filmrange_en.pdf But I couldn't find out where the film is manufactured. So I don't know if it's the same as the old films, or if it's made offshore somewhere and Agfa branded. In small print on the Agfa leaflet it says "AgfaPhoto Holding GmbH is the exclusive licence holder for the AgfaPhoto brand of Agfa-Gevaert NV & Co. KG or Agfa-Gevaert NV. Sublicences for the individual products and product groups are granted to qualified manufacturers by AgfaPhoto Holding GmbH, who assume responsibility for the production and sales of the product which bears the highly-renowned AgfaPhoto brand name."
