New at Crutchfield: LEICA M EV 1.
Also at B&H and at Adorama.
The first of a new generation of real LEICAs: the first real LEICA that lets us see what actually will be in our picture through the finder before we take it.
While every other camera on the planet allows this (as well as lesser semi-LEICAs like the SL and S and other systems too bulky to share the soul of a real LEICA), every other real LEICA und LEICA M has used the same idiotic separate viewfinder that uses the same reverse Galilean design as disposable cameras. These optical finders off in the corner of the camera only see from a point of view a few inches away from the lens, not through the lens, and thus never give an accurate view of the relative positions of near and far objects. This is why SLRs rendered LEICAs obsolete as of the 1960s; SLRs let us see what actually was going to be in our picture in ways that rangefinder cameras never could.
The M EV 1 is more significant than the creation of the LEICA M3 in 1953, which was just a ruse to let LEICA sell more lenses because the M3 was the first LEICA to allow different frame lines in the in-camera finder. Real photographers of the era knew the real LEICAs (screw mount) were more than sufficient for real photographic art. With the
For the first time in human history, a real LEICA lets us see our true composition. I'm looking forward to getting mine for review.
Weight is a light 495g with battery😃! The M11-P is 530g with battery, the M240 is 677g with battery🤔, the M3 is 610g with film and the iiif is only 432g with film 😃😃.

Two Days Only: Big Blow-Out Sale at B&H.
NEW: OM SYSTEM OM-3 ASTRO.
An astronomical version of the OM-3.
NEW: OM SYSTEM TG-7 INDUSTRY with microscope adapter.
Crazy days! This is an underwater point-and-shoot sold with a microscope adapter for medical, forensic & scientific endeavours.
NEW: ZEISS Aatma Series T1.5 Cine lenses.
This series offers olde-fashioned optical performance, and these optical imperfections are consistent across all the focal lengths.
Why do real cinematographers pay more than most people pay for a used car for each lens in this series, just to get deliberately imperfect optics? Simple: because they are predictable and controlled across all the focal lengths. When I asked ASC members previously about why they'd pay $25,000 for a flawless lens and then put Vaseline on a filter in front of it, it was for the fact that they knew with perfect lenses that the effect of this filter would be exactly what that filter did, and the lens would have no contribution to the effect. With these lenses, you're buying into just one look, and knowing that that look will be consistent at every focal length.
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L II USM.
NEW: Spherochromatic Performance of the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L II USM.
A reader asked, and I didn't have much data in my original review from 2012 when this lens came out. Turns out that yes, this EF lens has much less spherochromatism than the RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM does.
How about that?
NEW: Infinite Depth-of-Field: Canon Hand-Held Focus Stacking & In-Camera Compositing.
OK, not totally new, but still so new that I can't recall ever seeing it in Nikon or Sony. Those more primitive brands still can't composite final images in-camera and expect us to do it in a computer — like we had to do with panoramic stitching 20 years ago.
I was out shooting on Route 66 this weekend and was astounded at how well it works and easy it is to shoot this all hand-held — even outside at night in the dark! For the first time since I put away my 4 × 5" camera I can get everything in perfect focus!
I simply point-and-shoot, the camera makes a fast set of focus-bracketed exposures and magically composites them in-camera to create an image with everything in perfect focus!
Not only can I shot hand-held in the dark with long stabilized exposures of typically ⅛ of a second, I can shoot at large apertures so I can shoot at low, clean ISOs and then the compositing still gets everything in focus - even better and sharper than if I had a tripod and shot at f/22!
This opens up a new realm in photography. Even iPhone can't do this yet.
NEW: Viltrox AF Full-Frame 16mm f/1.8, now in L mount.
The Nikon and Sony verisons were out in 2024 when I first reviewed this lens.

Heh heh, if I do say so myself I've spend a lot of time on this newest guide and it's the biggest, clearest, best organized and most comprehensive guide I've ever written.
Even if you don't have an R6 Mk III, much of this guide applies to most Canon mirrorless cameras, just that the menu locations move around between models, assuming your camera has any particular feature.

Nutty little trinket that charges via USB-C and shoots to a Micro SD card (not included, try one of these genuine $5 Kodak ones if you need another Micro SD card). Kids and teenagers might actually love this! I actually find this more intriguing than silly things like digital LEICAs without LCDs.

EOS R6 III!!!
Here are some snaps from my R6 III. As expected, I'm loving it. It's been a long time since I've been to the zoo; today its so easy to get a zillion great shots!
Red and Green Number Five in a Parking Structure at Ryan's college, 3:10 PM, Tuesday, 13 January 2026.

Bokeh!!!!! I'm also loving my nearly-free Canon RF 45mm f/1.2 STM. It's too sharp off on the sides, and my R6 III easily focussed way out there on the right. Not bad for $469; back in previous decades this level of f/1.2 aspherical performance cost thousands and thousands of dollars.

Canon EL-1 Version 2.
NEW: Canon EL-1 v2 Flash Review.
It's exactly the same as the original EL-1 of 2020, except that the v2 is now made in Japan rather than having been dumped to Burma (Myanmar) as was the original.
What's funny is how the slop websites just AI'd their reviews, which pulled all the data from the press releases for the old and new versions. Turns out the press data for the v2 copied and pasted a lot from the original 2020 release, so slop sites claim this v2 has things like a "new user interface" and "new controller" and a "new cooling fan." Nope; the original EL-1 has all the same things; these are not "new" in the v2: they carry over from the original — much as the text in the press releases!!!
Hah!
I've got lots more reviews and how-tos coming each day, the Days of Christmas continue! I was really socked-in over the holidays and just haven't been able to share all the reviews I'd written just yet.

WEIRD: New Fuji instax mini Evo Cinema Hybrid Instant Camera?
This is a time machine that looks like an 8mm home movie camera. It has a dial to select a decade for the effect. It spits out prints and shoots video and stills. It will print QR codes you can hand to people to see the videos. Crazy!

Help me help you
I support my growing family through this website, as crazy as it might seem.
If you find this as helpful as a book you might have had to buy or a workshop you may have had to take, feel free to help me continue helping everyone.
If you've gotten your gear through one of my links or helped otherwise, you're family. It's great people like you who allow me to keep adding to this site full-time. Thanks!
If you haven't helped yet, please do, and consider helping me with a gift of $5.00.
The biggest help is when you use any of these links when you get anything, regardless of the country in which you live. It costs you nothing, and is this site's, and thus my family's, biggest source of support. eBay is always a gamble, but all the other places always have the best prices and service, which is why I've used them since before this website existed. I recommend them all personally.
Thanks for reading!
