Ever since Phase One acquired a major stake in Mamiya as well as buying over Leaf Imaging, it was just a matter of time before Mamiya and Leaf merged to become a brand of it's own.
Following the announcement today, the Mamiya Leaf brand is official to the world.
It makes sense anyway, since Phase One has its own digital backs to go with the 645 DF under the Phase One branding.

Inspired by a post by Kirk Tuck and news of Canon's EOS 1D X, I have decided to write this entry which has been on my mind for a while.
Sure. The Canon 1D X is a monster with 14 frames per second shooting at ISO beyond 102400 at 18 megapixels. However, how many of you truly need such a performance? Be honest with yourself on that.

I have never owned an Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens (EVIL) camera until the folks at Sony came along and asked if I am interested to do a review of the Sony Nex C3.
I did have some hands on with the Olympus EP-3 (and EP-2) and the Fuji X-100 prior to this and was feeling quite good about comparing the Nex C3 to them.
That plan, however, went down the drain when I realized that all other big boys like DPreview and Digital Photographer School already wrote excellent reviews about the camera.
Therefore it was really pointless to write a matter of fact review and I decided to take a different angle when writing this entry.

My Hasselblad 160mm f/4.8 CB finally arrived last month so I took it out for a walk.
However, I find myself shooting most of the time with my 60mm f/3.5 CF instead. It makes sense, because the 60mm is a 35mm equivalent on a 135mm DSLR and that makes it a really good walk-around lens.
In fact, I used the 60mm for most of my shots in China and the now-sold 150mm occasionally.
Read MoreI stumbled upon this CNN Special and its first few seconds sent a chill down my spine.
The scene: A young girl verbally commands her computer to search for the term 'analog photography' and the machine returns a search result taking viewers back the birth of film photography in the 19th century.
The video then brought us to five individuals (including Magnum photographer Elliot Erwitt) from different background sharing their take on film photography with us.

Took me a long while to do up this post but here goes...
I've been photographing Salsa dancers since 2009 and have always wanted to present a proper body of work (including one ballet set!).
Well, the time is now!

I may be tired but I am buzzing with excitement.
You don't many chances to do a photoshoot with some of the best Latin dancers in Singapore, let alone doing it with a Hasselblad H4D-40 and the Profoto Pro-8 (10 flashes per second, anyone?).

So on a bright and sunny Wednesday morning, my colleague smashed a housefly right next to me. For some reason the fly (corpse?) was rather intact and there was a Hasselblad H4D-40 and a 120mm f/4 Macro lens lying around in office. This is the 100% crop. Hit the jump for the original composition.

One of the biggest perks of my new job is that I get to try out all sorts of camera equipment that I don't normally get to use (or afford). With that, I decided to bring this Gitzo GH 2781 QR ball head home to 'test' it out muahahaha. First observation: The knob to tighten/loosen the ball head is huge. And I think it is an understated fact that tripod makers are making life difficult for us with hard-to-twist knobs. I may be a big fan of the Manfrotto 410 Junior Gear Head but I hate the frictionless knobs especially when I have the occasional sweaty palms under the sun (who doesn't??).
Read MoreOver the weekend I finally had the chance to bring my dream camera setup out for a shoot.
- Hasselblad 503CW
- PME45
- 50mm f/4 CFi
- Winder CW
I've always wanted to try photographing with the Winder CW as well to see how it is like.
