The best Father’s Day Gift for photographers is a camera for someone else, to get us in the frame for our own family photos.  A small camera to share with my wife is the goal, but unlike my other cameras this is a one and done. A tool the whole family can use for years to come - the moments with my daughter are fleeting - and for this the OM3’s perfect.  At least it is on paper - my copy’s still in the box, and tonight the latest Fuji goes live. By the end of this X-Summit I’ll need to decide - OM3 or XE5?

After a month of testing on the Zf, Z8, and the 61 megapixel Leica, Voigtlander’s 90mm f2 APO might just be the sharpest lens I’ve used, but is it too sharp for me? That’s what I thought when shooting in colour, then I tried monochrome.  The reality rendered by a lens this sharp can be confronting, our imaginations need more room to breathe.  But reality’s stranger than fiction.

For camera reviewers - and the industry at large - street photographers are no longer the priority,  so what are you actually paying for in a brand new camera?  We don’t need 8K open-gate video, or insect-detect autofocus, instead 5 features reviewers overlook that make a difference on the street.  Today let’s go through 3 cameras at 3 different price points to see how much street photographers have to pay to get the features we want and need.
