Every so often the Universe realizes I’m getting a little cocky and sends someone to ask me a simple question I can’t answer. It happened again the other day. Michael Plumridge and Peter Lik asked Tyler what the sharpest 50mm lens was. They were shooting on Red Epics with adapters so neither brand, mount, nor price mattered. But they needed to know right away. Tyler told them he’d ask me and give them the answer in a few minutes.

So, a small camera, with a potentially outstanding sensor (again, we really have to wait and see), and a potentially outstanding made-for-the-camera lens of perfect specification? This won’t get the pull from the hoi polloi, the mass market, or the mainstream media that some cameras-of-the-moment get, but for real camera buffs, there’s just nothing we desire right now more than this little beauty.

How fast can your camera shoot photos? 60 frames per second? Pah. 1,000 fps? Puh-lease. What’s that? You have a Phantom camera that’ll shoot one million fps? Whatever. MIT’s new camera will shoot one trillion frames per second. Let’s put that in some pers

my thesis is that we should quit wasting money on gear (lenses, bodies, etc) and more money on photo-books. I feel that the best way to improve your vision as a street photographer is to look at great photography (which is nearly impossible online) and readily found in photo-books

Shooting with a Fuji X100 ISO 2000, ƒ/2 at 1/60th. This is portrait bokeh with a 23mm ƒ/2 lens. By Robert Plotkin When the Fuji X100 was announced at Photokina 2010, the trade show held in Germany, it was as…

Fuji makes the H system lenses for Hasselblad, which are used by the most demanding commercial photographers in the world. The X100 is not as sharp as a Leica Summicron wide open, but stop it down to ƒ/2.8 and it crystalizes. One must remember that the lens has the field of view of a 35mm lens but the depth of field of a 23mm lens. Shot open and close, the background is pleasantly de-emphasized but not bokehlicious.

Knowing how fast technology changes, we figured it was time for an update. So we went back to several of the same photographers and asked them again, “What point-and-shoot camera do you use now and in your opinion, what’s the best point-and-shoot camera?” Several of the same big-name pros like Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Brian Smith and photojournalist David Burnett gave their two-cents; we also posed the question on PhotoShelter’s Twitter and Facebook to get some fresh opinions.
