Astronaut Buzz Aldrin to help launch luxury Hasselblad Lunar camera on May 30th
Legendary astronaut Buzz Aldrin will help launch Hasselblad's latest camera, the Lunar, at a special event in New York City on May 30, 2013.

While there was some talk about the launch date for the Lunar being pushed back to the summer, the high-end, compact system camera, which is built around a Sony NEX-7 body, seems to be back on schedule.

Her new piece, "Dear Model..., kindest regards, Other Model. XXX" is a collection of little tips that she has picked up in her years of modeling, particularly about how to pose to emphasize certain features, and...

Accessory Review: Phottix BG-5D III Battery Grip for Canon 5D Mark III
The Phottix BG-5DIII battery grip is a budget-friendly alternative to Canon's BG-E11 battery grip for the EOS 5D Mark III, allowing you to double the battery life and enhance handling when shooting vertical format images. Can it do the same job for less cash, or should you save up for the Canon-branded accessory? Find out in our review.

Sigma announces availability of 35mm F1.4 DG HSM for Sony and Pentax
In a brief note on its Japanese website, Sigma has announced that the Sony and Pentax mount versions of its highly-regarded 35mm F1.4 DG HSM 'Art' lens will go on sale on 31st May. It's also announced that the Nikon-mount version of its 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM 'Sports' telephoto zoom will be available at the same time. We gave the 35mm F1.4 our Gold Award when we reviewed it back in December, for its combination of exceptionally good optics and solid build at a price rather lower than the camera manufacturers' equivalents.

A few thoughts about the Nikon D4

New Vagabond Mini Lithium mounting option now available
In November 2011, we published a roundup of some of the light stand mounting methods available for the Paul C. Buff Vagabond Mini Lithium portable power pack. It included a homegrown solution developed by photographer James Burke, one that we really liked but lacked the tools and skill to make ourselves. Burke has solved that problem, by turning his custom clamp into a product that's now available for purchase.
