This 200x zoom camera lets you read the writing on airplanes

Even without the assistance of the 4x digital zoom, the 50x optical zoom of the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS was pretty impressive when it was released. But what does a combined 200x zoom actually look like? Well, it means you can read the writing on planes flying overhead. Planes that you can’t even see when […]

Laowa’s hydrophobic Frog Eye lens coating makes shooting in the rain a breeze

You may remember Laowa fully funded their new 12mm f/2.8 lens kickstarter within 30 seconds of going live last month.
