Lens filters for smartphones are not a new concept. Designed to give photographers more creative and technical control over their images, there are several types on the market today that can control how much light comes into the camera, reduce reflections and flare or add more vibrancy to your images with different color tones.

Up until a few years ago, photographers wanting to add a physical filter to a smartphone would need to attach a clamped filter that sits at the top of the phone’s camera lenses or use a third-party smartphone lens with filters.

Tamron has announced it will release its popular 28-75mm F2.8 Di III VXD G2 fast standard zoom for Nikon's Z-mount.
Recent Videos
Nikon already sells a 28-75mm F2.8 with an optical formula and calculated MTF charts that are a match for Tamron's original, stepper-motor driven 28-75mm F2.8 Di III RXD. The newer, linear-motor-driven G2 model features improved optical performance.

The Ricoh GR III HDF and GR IIIx HDF are variants of the company's existing fixed-lens APS-C premium compacts. They feature a unique "highlight diffusion filter" instead of the ND filter fitted in the standard versions of both cameras.
Recent Videos
Ricoh says the HDF has been developed using its inkjet technology and adds a diffusion effect to the images, particularly visible in highlight areas, comparable with a 'black mist' filter. This, it says gives images "resembling those captured in film photography or vintage movies."
By replacing the switchable ND filter in the ..read more

The Sigma 50mm F1.2 DG DN Art is a comparatively lightweight prime lens aimed at travel, portrait and street photographers. At 745g (26.3oz) and 109mm (4.3") in length, Sigma claims it is the lightest lens of its type.
We got our hands on the lens recently, and it happened to be cherry blossom season, so you know we had to visit them for a sample gallery. We also made street portraits and visited Seattle's nightlife to make the most of our time with the lens.

Almost six years after the announcement of the Lumix DC-G9, Panasonic rolled out its successor, the Lumix DC-G9 II. This is the company's high-end model aimed at stills shooters, and it is the first-ever Lumix Micro Four Thirds camera to include phase detection autofocus. Despite its target demographic, the G9 II comes with a surprisingly long list of video features as well. A thorough redesign, the G9 II is based on the chassis of the full-frame Lumix S5 II and S5 IIX, giving it room for plentiful controls an ..read more

Each iteration of X100 retains its family look but there's been constant evolution throughout the series

The word kaizen has increasingly come into the vocabulary of camera enthusiasts. It's often been used in conjunction with Fujifilm but is increasingly applied to any company that adds features during firmware. I think this focus on firmware misses the point and risks obscuring the real meaning of the word.
