“I didn’t see painters doing paintings of glassware and glass shelves or sand dunes and receding snow fences. Why does that interest photographers and not artists?” – John Baldessari

The Sandmarc Retro Filter essentially reduces fine details in images, reduces contrast, and introduces a soft halation around light sources. This is similar in spirit and functionality to the dreamy highlight diffusion filter (HDF) that Ricoh Imaging added to its most recent GR III and GR IIIx models. There’s clearly a demand for this type of look, as those GR III HDF cameras are so popular that Japanese photographers have had to enter a lottery to buy them. TAKE A LOOK →

This blog adopted a policy that they wouldn’t review DSLR cameras anymore as they were being phased out in preference to mirrorless cameras. So when DSLR lenses were pitched to be reviewed, they adapted them to mirrorless cameras. Nearly five years have come and gone, but every time a DSLR struts into their minds, they think of the Tamron 35mm f1.4. This was a lens that time forgot because it was released at perhaps the most inopportune time ever. But honestly, it was probably the best lens for a DSLR that they ever reviewed. TAKE A LOOK →

“I don’t care about making photography an art. I want to make good photographs. I’d like to know who first got it into his head that dreaminess and mist is an art. Take things as they are; take good photographs, and the art will take care of itself.” – Edward Steichen
