AstrHori's 8mm Fisheye Brings a Rare Look to Medium Format
AstrHori’s 8mm f/2.4 Circular Fisheye brings a 220-degree field of view to medium-format systems, filling a gap for Fujifilm GFX and Hasselblad photographers. Tested on a Fujifilm GFX100S, the manual-focus lens produces a circular image that fits the height of the 44 x 33mm sensor, yielding just under 60 megapixels inside the circle. The 517g, all-metal lens has no electronic communication, so aperture and lens data are absent from EXIF and stabilization requires manual input. At f/8 and infinity, sharpness extends from roughly one foot to the horizon; its 0.1m minimum focus demands care around the protruding front element. The coverage suits VR interiors, but tripod, camera and operator placement require deliberate planning.
Nikon, GoPro and Instax cameras made Time’s list of best inventions for 2026. Here’s who each is really for
The Nikon ZR, GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS and Instax Mini Evo Cinema were included in Time’s list of best inventions for 2026. That recognition identifies the three cameras as notable developments in the wider technology landscape, but it does not by itself explain which photographer each model suits. DPReview’s reporting adds a more practical counterpoint: its reviews and hands-on experience present a different story from the broad list. With no further specifications or test conclusions supplied here, the useful lesson is to separate institutional recognition from purchase decisions. Photographers comparing these models should treat the Time inclusion as a starting signal, then evaluate each camera according to the shooting role and evidence available from direct testing.
The best mirrorless cameras in 2026: these are my top choices for photography and video
Amateur Photographer’s 2026 mirrorless guide presents recommended cameras across beginner, enthusiast and professional categories, covering both photography and video. The editorial team frames the selection around different budgets and skill levels rather than a single universal winner. The supplied material also places the guide within a broader buying landscape that includes compact cameras, APS-C versus full-frame choices, retro-styled models, Fujifilm options and Canon cameras assessed through resolution, speed, build quality, lens choice and value. Because the notes do not identify individual mirrorless models or provide test results, they cannot support a model-by-model verdict. The practical takeaway is to begin with shooting needs, budget and lens-system priorities before treating any “best” list as a final recommendation.
