Paddy On The Hardwood by Rus Bradburd

Remember when I wrote about a session I was at in Belfast where I was sitting next to a fiddler who it turned out had written a book and then I ended up reading the book? Quite an unusual occurrence, right? Definitely not the kind of thing that’s likely to happen twice (you ca…

The Problem with Variable Aperture Lenses, and the Solution

Should You Use a GameBoy Camera in 2026?

10 years ago, I reviewed something called the Bit Boy. It allowed a photographer to shoot images and store them to an SD card instead of printing them immediately. Though I think it would be fun to print immediately to Instax instead, I understand how hard and niche this would b…

Why the Fujifilm X-T2 Still Holds Up 10 Years Later

In 2016, the Fujifilm XT2 turns 10 years old. We reviewed it just over a decade ago, and one of our former writers talked in length about why he still loved it back in 2022. As the person who handled the Fujifilm XT2 review for the Phoblographer, I truly do have to say: this was…

We Should Be Able to Calibrate a Camera’s Screen

In 2026, something has occurred to me. Lots of my friends don't rate images in-camera partially because they don't trust their screens -- not to mention sometimes just being lazy. But I've thought about this at times, why can't I give an ICC profile to my camera's screen? Why ca…
