The new lenses also bring the company back to Android devices. The new lenses sport new optics and a new bayonet design that allows them to work with the larger camera sensors and wider apertures of Android devices.

Moment has announced its new series of Everything bags (buy here). Billed as “the daily backpack and tote to replace all your other bags”, the new series is comprised of three sizes of backpacks and a tote. The company says that the range was inspired by their own Travelwear line, released in 2020. Now, though, they say that “everything is better”.

The new Everything bags contain custom-developed fabrics that resist lint, pet hair and dirt. They’re also made with weatherproof micro ripstop with a durable water-repellent finish and a 2-layer waterproof coating. They also feature unisex contoured straps with a wide range of adjustability to fit just about everyone.

Photographer-owned brand Long Weekend has launched three colourful new camera bags. The new lineup includes the Beacon Tote, Monterey Sling, and a snug little camera pouch for your favourite point-and-shoot camera. The bags are aimed purposefully at the film shooter, but also straddle the digital photography world perfectly.

Long Weekend was started in 2021 by photographers Willem Verbeeck and Allison Simon. They wanted to create a fresh new gear brand that was inspired by epic road trips, shooting film, and slowing down to take it all in.

Camera backpacks come in all shapes and sizes these days, and it can sometimes be a little overwhelming when you’re trying to decide what would best fit your needs. The first port of call then is to figure out exactly what those needs are, and then find something that addresses those.

This engineering approach is something that camera accessories brand Moment has been doing particularly well lately. They have just launched a collaboration with travel photographer Emmett Sparling and have introduced the 35 L Day Chaser Camera backpack. It’s being billed as “rugged, versatile and extremely comfortable” and “built to carry everything”. I was able to try it out and put it through its paces in my most recent travels across Europe.

Photography accessories company Moment is confirming their presence in the camera bag market by launching another travel camera backpack. This time around they have paired up with travel photographer Emmett Sparling to create the 35L Day Chaser Backpack.

Sparling says that he spent 5 years travelling with every type of camera bag possible, and was increasingly frustrated by the options available. They were either traditional bags that locked you into a pre-set configuration, and often didn’t protect your gear very well. So he teamed up with Moment to create one that fitted his vision.

Moment has launched an adapter that turns just about any lens into a 1.33x Anamorphic lens

Moment, more commonly known for its smartphone lenses, has expanded into DSLR and mirrorless cameras with its new Moment Anamorphic Adapter which screws onto the filter thread of your regular camera lenses and turns them into 1.33x anamorphic lenses. Moment says they’ve been working on the adapter for the past eight years to turn your 16:9 footage into a more cinematic 2.35:1.

As well as stretching the view to what we’d typically expect from an anamorphic lens, Moment says it brings those horizontal flares and vertical bokeh that anamorphic lenses also typically present. They’ve launched the new anamorphic adapter via Kickstarter, where they’ve already blasted way through their $50,000 goal with 29 days still left to go on the campaign.

Moment’s Variable ND filters for mirrorless and DSLRs offer great quality at an affordable price

Variable neutral density filters have become invaluable tools for many photographers and filmmakers. They allow us to carry less kit to be able to extend our shutter speed in a variety of lighting conditions vs big holders and multiple square format filters. In recent years, their prices have fallen quite dramatically, too, while their overall quality has greatly improved.

Moment’s recently released variable ND filters have come in at a very attractive price, but do they hold up to scrutiny? With the lockdown in Scotland, I haven’t been able to get out to play with them properly in the wild yet, but I have been able to do some testing to get an idea of their capabilities. So, here’s what I think.

Moment, the company behind the Pro Camera app, has just published some bad news for its Android users. Due to inconsistency in the OS, it has become too complicated to keep developing the app so that it works on different Android phones. Therefore, Moment has decided to ditch it completely and only keep the iOS version.
