Photos have leaked of three new Zeiss Super Prime cine lenses ahead of an official announcement. There isn’t much information on them besides what we can see in the photos, which are the focal lengths, maximum T stop value, and a teeny tiny foot at the bottom for mounting to your tripod, rig or other lens support system. Zeiss’ Supreme Prime lineup of lenses are pretty legendary, with a price tag to match which typically sits in the $20,000 to $30,000 range – or $131,250 for a set of seven lenses....

If you’re a Fuji shooter (or even if you’re not) that was hoping they’d one day go full frame, then your dreams just got crushed. In an interview by DPReview at this year’s Photokina, with Fujifilm General Manager, Toshihisa Iida, they were told in no uncertain terms that Fujifilm will not be going full frame. Photokina’s always a big deal for Fujifilm. They’ve always made some pretty big announcements. I remember seeing the GFX 50S behind the glass cabinet at Photokina 2016....

Many of us have our little rituals and must-haves we must buy when we get a new camera.

After recently picking up the new Sony A6600, he put together this little video to explain why.

We’ve covered 3D printed lenses before, like this one from Mathieu Stern. But up until now, 3D printed lenses have mostly still used a glass element on the front. Printing clear plastic with a 3D printer at home just isn’t that easy. Some believed it impossible. But it appears as though the problem might’ve been solved if Tomer Gluck’s tutorial at FennecLabs is anything to go by. He’s managed to create transparent 3D printed items at home using transparent ABS on a stock Original Prusa i3 3D printer....

Since the recent release of my new Long Exposure Portraits tutorial from RGG EDU, I’ve been inundated with messages and questions relating to the light painting section.

Do you remember the first stop-motion movie, with a galloping horse? Eadweard Muybridge made it in 1872, and the funny thing is – the first stop-motion movie was made because of a bet. The question was: do all four of the horse’s hooves leave the ground at the same time at any point of the gallop? And Leland Stanford, the founder of the Stanford University, hired Muybridge to help him settle the bet....

John Aldred is DIYP’s video editor. If you liked our videos from the UK photoshow or our interviews with some of the worlds top creatives, he is the one to thank. I was asking John about a deadline for one of our videos and he sent me this clip from Lixi studios as a reply. Now, I know John, and I doubt that he takes long walks at the beach (living in the UK has it downfalls), but I can totally relate to the emotional process that art goes through....

Rue Crémieux is a picturesque street in Paris, with lovely colorful facades and old houses. And just like Notting Hill: it has become swarmed by Instagrammers and the residents have had enough.

According to Franceinfo, the street is filled with tourists who take snapshots throughout the day. If you search Instagram for the hashtag #ruecremieux, you’ll find over 32,000 posts at the moment....

When Apple introduced a new security feature in iOS 14, I wondered if Android users would also get a feature that reveals if their camera is spying on them. Well, there’s an app for that.

To remind you, users who updated their iPhone’s OS to iOS 14 now see a small dot in the top right corner of the phone’s display....

It’s getting to become a pretty common occurrence lately. Somebody flies a drone, somebody else gets hit in the head by it. Well, when they’re not being speared out of the sky. This time, however, it is believed that it wasn’t pilot error or a drone malfunction, but simply mother nature doing her thing as the drone collided with the face of aspiring model Jess Adams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHf6C8EMyIg While Jess may believe that the accident was mother nature’s fault, she’s extremely lucky that she didn’t suffer more damage than a few scrapes and bruises....

After iPhone XS was announced, some users noticed that its front camera beautifies selfies by default. The coin “BeautyGate” for this was soon coined to refer to this bug, but former Apple designer Sebastiaan de With explained that it’s a consequence of noise reduction. However, Apple has now admitted: the so-called “BeautyGate” is real, and it’s indeed a camera bug. Apple told The Verge that iPhone XS’s and XR’s Smart HDR made smoother-looking photos taken by the front camera....
