We extensively cover the FX5, and also talk about the FCC pressure on XTRA in the US, a major Nexus G1 update, Christopher Nolan's fully analogue IMAX production of The Odyssey, and a long run of lens, accessory and software releases.

En este episodio, John Vargas analiza por qué el equipo que tienes en tu mochila podría no pertenecerte del todo, sino a una junta de accionistas en Japón.Puntos clave de este análisis:El Movimiento Sísmico de Sony: La oferta de 1.2 billones de dólares para absorber el 100% de Tamron y evitar que fondos de inversión tomen el control de su suministro.El Colapso Legal de Nikon: Por qué la invalidación de sus patentes en China representa el fin del monopolio de la calidad y una amenaza directa al valor de reventa de las lentes S-Line.Crisis en Kumamoto: El impacto del terremoto en el centro neurálgico de sensores de Sony y cómo la escasez de componentes y el costo de la IA inflarán los precios de las cámaras este año.Humillación Técnica: ¿Puede un dispositivo de 230g como la DJI Osmo Pocket 4 Pro igualar el rendimiento de un equipo profesional de 5,000€?.Especialización Extrema: El nuevo lente Laowa 10x Ultra Macro como la última defensa del fotógrafo frente a la Inteligencia Artificial.Un análisis vital para fotógrafos senior y profesionales que buscan proteger su capital y entender el futuro de su profesión.

In quest'ultima puntata della stagione di "Messa a Fuoco", prima della pausa estiva, vi raccontiamo l'incredibile esperienza dietro la campagna globale di DJI per il lancio della Osmo Pocket 4 Pro scattata a Londra. Facciamo poi il punto sul nuovo Tamron 12-20mm, l'adattatore Megadap per lenti Leica M su Canon RF e la svolta storica di Hasselblad finalmente compatibile con Capture One. Chiudiamo in bellezza con una riflessione senza filtri sui "webcam shooting" e sul controverso trend delle foto scattate alla TV durante i mondiali: arte o semplice pigrizia social? Buone vacanze a tutti, ci rivediamo a settembre!

¿Sientes que estás en una cinta de correr tecnológica donde nunca alcanzas la meta? Bienvenidos a un análisis profundo en Fotógrafo Pro. Esta semana de junio de 2026 ha marcado un punto de inflexión que todo profesional debe entender para proteger su capital y su salud mental.En este episodio analizamos:El fin de la "Isla de la Libertad": La confirmación oficial de que Adobe absorberá Topaz Labs para finales de 2026. ¿Qué significa la integración de algoritmos de Sharpen y Denoise en el motor de Firefly para quienes invertían en licencias perpetuas?.Sony FX5 y el pánico del mercado: La llegada del sensor de obturación global (global shutter) y grabación 5K Open Gate a la línea de entrada de Sony. Analizamos por qué deberías detener cualquier compra de gama media ahora mismo.La paradoja de Leica: ¿Pierde su mística la marca al lanzar la SL3P con ráfagas de 40 fps? Discutimos la lucha entre la artesanía del momento y la presión del volumen digital.Apertura de ecosistemas: La llegada del Tamron 17-70mm f2.8 a Canon RF y Nikon Z. El alivio financiero que rompe el secuestro de las monturas nativas.El Bucle de la Perfección: Un estudio revela que el 54% de los fotógrafos están perdiendo el alma del oficio por buscar una estética que la IA ya puede imitar. ¿Cómo volver a ser autores y no solo operarios de máquinas?.Cerramos con una reflexión sobre la "imperfección perfecta" y por qué tu criterio es el único activo que no se devalúa.¿Venderías tu cámara actual solo por tener obturación global y eliminar las líneas torcidas? Te leo en los comentarios.¡Nunca, pero nunca, dejen de hacer fotos!

We're finally doing it, a full set of four episodes, a "tetralogy" all about lenses. In this first part, we're covering ultra-wide lenses. To help keep things ultra-wide, we're using the same criteria as Matt (from Matt Loves Cameras) and going with lenses that are 25mm or wider. Each host picked three ultra-wide lenses from their own kit. And we ended up with a fantastic set of optics, including the AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm, AI-s Nikkor 20mm, AI-s Nikkor 15mm, AF Nikkor 14mm f/2.8D, Maxxum AF 20mm, Auto-Miranda 25mm, Rokkor 24mm, Olympus Zuiko Auto-W 21mm, Leitz Super-Angulon 21mm, Voigtländer 12mm, Tamron 17mm and Carl Zeiss 21mm.

There are SO many pressures that are put on us women – like to get married, to have kids, to have an amazing career – ALL at the same time and before it's “too late”.  So it's sadly no surprise at all how many women end up succumbing to the MASSIVE pressures and just give up on finding Mr. Right, or the job that they're actually passionate about, and settle in the hopes that it will make everyone else (even the mailman) happy.  And we all know how that goes, right?? You end up living everyone else's life and you are left feeling like an empty shell of that amazing woman that you either used to be or the woman that you know that you can be! So on this episode of Women of Impact, I wanted to bring on someone who stood her ground despite the INSANE pressures, broke the mold of what everyone expected of her, and got back up, even when life kept knocking her down!  This inspiring woman has it ALL - the career, the marriage, and the family - without giving in or settling.

There are SO many pressures that are put on us women – like to get married, to have kids, to have an amazing career – ALL at the same time and before it's “too late”.  So it's sadly no surprise at all how many women end up succumbing to the MASSIVE pressures and just give up on finding Mr. Right, or the job that they're actually passionate about, and settle in the hopes that it will make everyone else (even the mailman) happy.  And we all know how that goes, right?? You end up living everyone else's life and you are left feeling like an empty shell of that amazing woman that you either used to be or the woman that you know that you can be!

There's something to be said about OEM lenses with full compatibility, native mount support, and a high level of quality control. That all comes with a cost attached. Then there are third-party manufacturers: companies that often offer the same level of compatibility, quality control, and multiple lens mount options, but many don't carry a price tag as high as the original manufacturers'. So today, we have John and Bill, joined by Mario and Brian, to discuss all things third party, from classic Tokina, Tamron, and Sigma. Modern options from TTArtisans and 7Artisan lenses, and of course, Light Lens Labs, who are painstakingly creating modern, affordable versions of classic Leitz Optics.

Australian travel portrait photographer Glynn Lavender joins the show to share his wild adventures leading photo tours in India, Bangladesh, and beyond. From dodging elephants and driving through fire on detours, to getting a gun held to his head in a Delhi mosque (and still getting the shot), Glynn's stories are equal parts thrilling and hilarious. He opens up about facilitating life-changing experiences for keen amateurs on his workshops—handling loose itineraries in chaotic places, approaching strangers for authentic portraits, and why connection beats perfection. Glynn also explains how BLACKRAPID straps keep him shooting pain-free after 35+ years, his pragmatic gear choices (Tamron lenses, two cameras always ready), and timeless advice: don't pre-visualize—go with the flow and capture what's in front of you. A must-listen for photographers, travelers, and anyone who loves real, human stories from off-the-beaten-path places.
