Rediscovering joy in a decade-old sensor, where art meets authenticity
Fujifilm's X-E2s turns ten this year, yet its sensor still feels like a secret worth rediscovering. This compact interchangeable-lens camera earned a devoted following for its refined design, intuitive ergonomics, and that signature color science. But in a world of faster autofocus and higher megapixel counts, does a decade-old sensor hold up? We think it does, if you value authenticity over specs. For another take on timeless imaging, see our review of the Flashback 35 V2.
A Familiar Charm Meets Modern Precision in the Viltrox 35mm f1.4 Pro
There's something hauntingly familiar about the Viltrox 35mm f1.4 Pro, and after nearly two decades of reviewing gear, I had to dig through my archives at the Phoblographer to place it. This lens is no relic. Its autofocus is fast, occasionally faltering, and the weather resistance combined with genuinely beautiful image quality make it a modern performer. Yet that uncanny sense of déjà vu lingers, like an old friend in a new suit.
Retro Rewind: This Tiny Cassette Camera is Surprisingly Delightful.
A 24-gram camera shaped like a cassette tape sounds like a punchline, yet the DV42 on Makuake is genuinely endearing. It leans into playful nostalgia without taking itself too seriously, proving that photography can be whimsical and wearable. The tiny build invites you to carry it everywhere, capturing moments with a wink rather than a technical lecture. For those who love artistry in unexpected places, this quirky gadget feels like a breath of fresh air.
