Good news! SIRUI just expanded their anamorphic Saturn lineup – In addition to the already existing Saturn 35mm, they have just introduced two new anamorphic lenses: the Saturn 50mm and the Saturn 75mm. Each is a T/2.9 full-frame anamorphic lens that is smaller than a phone, light enough to mount on a drone, and best of all? They are all budget-friendly at under $1,000. We took the entire set for a spin!
The smallest full-frame anamorphic ever – SIRUI Saturn review
Crank it up! (Or how I stopped fearing the noise monster)
My first “real” digital camera was a Canon EOS Digital Rebel. All black, with a vertical battery grip and an impressive 6.3-megapixel sensor, it felt like a tiny miracle. But take that ISO up to 800, and the resulting images were less than miraculous; they were so noisy you’d need earplugs. That was 20 years ago, and while so much has changed in that time, my reluctance to crank up my ISO when the light gets low has been slow to catch up.
How I converted a 103-year-old Zeiss lens to autofocus M-mount
Recently I was rummaging around in a box of old cameras, and I stumbled across a cute little Zeiss lens that I didn’t even know I had.
It was a 5cm (50mm for you youngsters out there) f: 3.5 Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar. I researched its serial number (in the 411,000 range) to discover this little lens was manufactured in 1920, that’s 103 years ago.

You will finally be able to use Nikon old AF lenses on mirrorless cameras
If you are sitting on a big stash of old Nikkor lenses, MonsterAdapter has some really big news. Their new LA-FE2 adapter does something no other adapter has done before. Support for screw-drive autofocus lenses on modern mirrorless cameras.
One minor issue, though. Bad news for Nikon shooters who were hoping this would fix what was missing from Nikon’s own FTZ adapters. MonsterAdapter has only announced the adapter for Sony’s E-mount. Not Nikon’s Z-mount.

Photographer took over 200,000 shots for this stunning 8k annular solar eclipse timelapse
Last month, an annular solar eclipse was visible over the United States and Central and South America (and from space). Astrophotographer Jason Kurth captured it and turned it into a stunning timelapse. He shot over 200,000 images and ended up with one of the most detailed videos of a “ring of fire” solar eclipse we’ve ever seen.
The Monogram mechanical keyboard wants to solve all your editing pains
Monogram, whom you may know as Pallet Gear, is entering the mechanical keyboard market. However, unlike most keyboards in the market, their new Monogram Keyboard is not only mechanical but modular, as well. Monogram boasts many features that are relevant to the creative industry, like macros and added knobs and buttons. If you are a fan of editing consoles like the Tourbox, Loupedeck, or even the previous Pallet console, you should be familiar with the concept.
Right now, the Monogram Keyboard is getting a lot of support on Kickstarter. The project has already reached $60,000 in backing. This is more than double its original $27,000 goal. If you want to get one early, it will cost you $299 as an early backer. A good $100 less than the retail price of $399.

Shimbol M5 5.5″ is a low budget HDMI touchscreen field monitor
Monitor manufacturer Shimbol has announced its new M5 5.2″ HDMI touchscreen field monitor (buy here). It’s essentially a cut-down version of the company’s Shimbol Memory I Pro monitor recorder, at a very low budget.
The monitor lacks the SDI inputs of its Memory I Pro sibling and it also can’t record. But those missing features knock $300 off the purchase price, making for an attractive low-budget field monitor.
