Two years ago, Heather and I experienced our first Photokina. The one word that immediately came to mind when we stepped through the doors of the Koelnmesse exhibition centre was: HUGE! I remember discovering at the end of the show that there were entire halls we didn’t even know existed.

It is actually impossible to see everything in one week because Photokina isn’t just about the major camera and lens manufacturers – there are also entire halls dedicated to accessory companies from all over the world, subdivided by continent. You can literally become lost if you don’t pay attention to where you’re going.

Because it is the most popular photography event in the world and pretty much everyone in the industry is present, it is also a nice opportunity to meet people – both new faces and those you’ve only ever had the chance to meet online. In fact, this is one of the main reasons we decided to go back this year.

Over the past three years, we have learned so much: not just about photography and the cameras we use on a daily basis but also about blogging, running a professional website, and most importantly, what kind of content our readers enjoy the most.

When a new camera is announced, the interest that it generates usually comprises two steps. The first is to gather as much new information as you can about the product. The second involves comparing the camera to its siblings to understand what the most relevant changes are. And it won’t be any different with the new Fujifilm X-T2!

The new Hasselblad X1D – Will medium format regain its popularity?

22/06/2016 By Mathieu 16 Comments

Hasselblad made history thanks to its medium format cameras (12 of their film cameras are still on the surface of the moon) and nowadays the company produces several high-end medium format DSLRs. Today the Swedish company added a new system to its catalogue. Small hint: there’s no mirror!

The Photography Show 2016 Round-Up – Laowa 105mm, Leica 90-280mm, Panasonic 12-60mm and more

On Sunday and Monday, we had a very enjoyable time browsing around The Photography Show in Birmingham and had the opportunity to see many of the new products announced over the past few months. As is common with these kinds of shows, there isn’t much you can do with the gear since there isn’t a lot to photograph and some of the products were either mock-ups or pre-production samples.

Instead of writing separate posts, we thought it would be more interesting to share a round-up of the most interesting products accompanied by a few first impressions. We will test most of them in the coming months.
