Be Straight And Honest.
It is still too early for end-of-year reviews and crystal ball gazing for 2025. But yesterday, after the FolyFos meeting, we sat down together and talked about the prospects. After all, we are all putting out feelers in all directions, trying to keep our finger on the pulse and ideally […]
Das hier ist eine Cinnamon Roll, eine Zimtschnecke aus der Bäckerei in Å auf den Lofoten. Sie haben auch ein Video dort, das sie seit zehn Jahren zeigen, in dem sie Zimtschnecken backen. Nur sehen die etwas anders aus. Hier habe ich die vor zehn Jahren fotografiert. Irgendwie sehen die […]
Scheuermann PR hat von der Photo+Adventure ein Foto des Standes einer japanischen Kameramarke gepostet. Fünf oder sechs Kunden drängen sich am Stand. Alle in etwa meine Frisur, sprich Halbglatze mit modisch weißem Haarkranz. So habe ich den Artikel 2023 begonnen. In diesem Jahr gab es wieder ein Foto vom Stand. […]
Ich weiß nicht, wie das Marketing in Japan abläuft, aber ich weiß, wie es in Deutschland funktioniert. Ich habe das auf die harte – sehr teuere – Tour gelernt und dabei viiiiel Geld versenkt. Wir reden hier von Produkten, die niemand braucht. Kein Mensch muss eine mFT-Kamera oder ein entsprechendes […]
Der Artikel war eigentlich nur ein Hinweis darauf, dass OMDS es auch nach Jahren nicht auf die Reihe kriegt, eine korrekte Empfehlungsliste für die eigenen Händler zu pflegen. Und dass das absolut kein Hexenwerk ist, wenn sogar ich das gebacken kriege. Darunter hat sich eine Diskussion entwickelt, in der die […]
DPReview has conducted an interview. And since DPReview is no longer known for reporting too critically, Kazuhiro Togashi did the honors. The statements are not really exciting, but at least they are interesting: “Based on our research, the number of outdoor photographers is expected to increase or at least stay […]
Pretty much all photo manufacturers are currently outdoing each other in spreading great photo tips among their customers. Flash manufacturer Jinbei is one of them. Like many other manufacturers, it has a “blog” on its website. And just like many other manufacturers, it has not understood “blog”. A “blog” is […]
I’ve just received an e-mail from Hamburg Messe: Hamburg Messe und Congress will not be continuing the PHOTOPIA Hamburg imaging festival, as it is not economically viable in the current difficult market environment. “Our aim is to offer attractive and high-quality events. In our opinion, PHOTOPIA will not be able […]
Word has got around by now that I use Excire and think the programme is pretty cool. Some of my articles have also been linked in Excire newsletters, but I find some things about the “Pattern Recognition Company GmbH” in Lübeck really weird. It started with the fact that the […]
I have seen a lot in the last few years, but what has happened in the last few weeks has a new quality. During the time Olympus Imaging still existed, there were regular firmware updates with new features for the top-end and medium-range models. For example, the electronic shutter and […]
Mark Humpage was Olympus Visionary many years ago and is remembered by German fanboys for one action in particular: He took the E-5 and the Fisheye into the Blue Lagoon in Iceland and submerged it while the video was running: Of course you have to go to the shower afterwards…. […]
Sigma, actually known for good lenses – the 75mm f/1.8, for example, is manufactured by Sigma – shows how they manufacture mirrorless cameras – in this case the “Sigma fp“. You can also see why none of the cameras leave the factory with “0” shutter releases. 348,000 views in 5 […]
