Fujifilm's original XF16-55mm f/2.8 lens has long been considered one of the best in the X-mount lineup, and is a lens I've owned and loved to use for many years. I know from personal experience that it's truly one of the best, whether discussing sharpness, detail, autofocus, build quality, or usability. So when the new Fujifilm XF16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II was announced a while back, I wasn't sure what to expect.
A Better Way to Charge Camera Batteries on Location: Photoolex BB Chargers
The Photoolex BB Series is a new modular camera battery charging system designed for professional photographers and videographers. Each model supports major battery types, including Sony NP-FZ100, Nikon EN-EL15c, Canon LP-E6P, and Fujifilm NP-W235. BB Pro lets you charge two batteries, and the internal 16,500 mAh battery charges other devices via USB-C PD and USB-A.
Starting a Real Estate Photography Business in 2026
The single biggest mistake in real estate photography has nothing to do with your camera or your marketing budget. Getting good before getting busy separates a business that lasts from one that burns out fast. Nathan Cool walks through exactly what he'd change if he had to rebuild his real estate photography business from scratch in 2026, drawing on 15 years of full-time work.
Why I Put a Stealth Lens on the Loudest Camera I Own
Most likely, this won't matter to many people, but I'm writing it and proposing it anyway, also because I'm convinced that there's only one person who will be interested in this piece about an antiquated setup that, in my opinion, still works great today. At least it works for me. So I finally bought a lens that I really wanted: the Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM.
The Split-Tone Trick That Beats a Single White Balance Slider
A single sunset photo, edited three different ways in the same frame, is the kind of thing that changes how you think about white balance. The trick lies in treating the sky and the water as separate zones instead of pushing one warm slider across the whole image. The full walkthrough comes from Park Cameras, where Gareth Evans opens a coastal sunset shot in Lightroom Classic and starts building it up layer by layer.
A Good Thing in a Small Package: Viltrox 26mm f/2.8 EVO Review
Everybody loves a good pancake. A pancake lens, that is. Though some pancake lenses sacrifice quality for the sake of size, this new EVO lens begs to differ. Pancake lenses are very well loved in the industry. They're the kind of lens that is always nice to have if you can afford an extra lens, especially if you like taking casual strolls with your camera.
A 2010 Camera, a 2012 Lens, and a Trip to Italy
A 15-year-old camera with no USB-C charging, no eye sensor, and dated video specs still earns a spot in a working photographer's bag for a trip to the Italian coast. That says something about what actually keeps a camera in rotation years after its spec sheet stops mattering. James Popsys spends the day shooting in Camogli, just south of Genoa in northern Italy, with his Lumix GX1 and a 20mm f/1.7 lens he's owned since around 2012.

The Sony E-mount version goes on sale July 30 at $1,699, and the Nikon Z mount version follows on August 27 at $1,799.

'We Own More Cameras Than We Have Employees': Inside Capture One's Hasselblad Deal
The announcement itself was straightforward enough. On July 2, Hasselblad and Capture One confirmed that Hasselblad's .3FR raw files now open natively in Capture One, with dedicated color profiles for the X2D II 100C, the X2D 100C, and the CFV 100C digital back, and lens profiles covering 19 XCD lenses. Tethered capture is planned for later in 2026. After years of forum threads and feature requests, the wait ended with a software update.
They Didn't Show, So I Went Into the Bisti Badlands Alone at Night Anyway
Speeding down Highway 371, I received a call. The two photographers who knew the way around Bisti Badlands weren't going to show tonight. This was a problem. I had never been there, and it was basically Mother Nature's escape room. Bisti has no trails, no signs, no landmarks, and no cell signal. Just thousands of hoodoos and winding canyons. I'd have to find my way to some of the features, then find my way back to my car in the dark in a place I'd never been before.
