Hands-On With the Retro Nikon Df (f for Fusion)
First off: the Nikon Df is a kind of trinity between D4, Leica M and good old film. Right, of the D4 that costs $6k and Leica $7k. And I am the only one excited?! Online commentaries are rather condescending, accusing Nikon of too much and not enough retro for the sake of retro. But […]

After Lunar, Hasselblad Goes Stellar Special
Thank you dear whatever for giving us Sony NEX clones dressed up by an “elite Italy-based Design Center.” That’s a quote from a Hasselblad press release announcing the launch of “three new Stellar Special Edition compact camera editions.” The original presser is too beautiful, so here it is in its full length — albeit I […]
