Summary
In Focus on this show, James and Chris discuss one of the hottest trends: retro, sub-$100 "toy" cameras. Kodak's Charmera is ultra-popular, the TLR-style Chuzhao is hotter than hot cakes, the Camp Snap CS-8 brings Stranger Things vibes… these cameras are so viral that social media forgot about the Fujifilm X100 But are they any good? For our Gear Up section, we look at the Sigma vs Laowa battle of 200mm f/2 lenses. We've gone 40-something years since the last ones from Canon and Nikon, and all of a sudden two arrive within weeks of one another. But are these sports lenses, portrait lenses or something else? Finally, in Trouble Shooting, we wax lyrical about focus peaking – which is far from just a tool for macro! From video and portraiture to unlocking a world of bargain lenses and vintage glass, this enormously useful tool can save you money and even inject fun and tactility back into our increasingly automated world of photography.
