Can Medium Format Become Mainstream?

Jul 04, 2026 |

By Alex Cooke

| Fstoppers

For most of digital photography's history, medium format meant one thing: a five-figure investment, a deliberate studio pace, and a tool reserved for commercial shooters whose clients paid for the absolute ceiling of image quality.

My very first exposure to black and white photography, as an artful medium, was a photograph that I saw when I was in art school many years ago that was entitled "Monolith, the Face of Half Dome." At that time I was studying to become a Board Illustrator, which would have been a bored illustrator. The moment I saw that one photograph became a transformative one for me.

Jul 04, 2026 |

By Alex Cooke

| Fstoppers

Finding a fast prime with an apochromatic design under $400 is almost unheard of, and that's exactly what the Viltrox 35mm f/1.8 Evo claims to be.

Jul 03, 2026 |

By Clark Stinson

| Fstoppers

As photographers, we're inundated with images all day — ads, social media, billboards. Which ones actually inform our work, and where should we be looking? As a photographer who has worked on brand campaigns, it's sad to see mood boards composed of the same images. I'll receive inspiration images from a client and recognize they came from the same Pinterest board — pulled after someone typed "Running" into the search bar. What's the point?

By Alex Cooke

| Fstoppers
