The Phoblographer is Hiring News Writers
by Chris Gampat
December 3, 2024
We like to call the Phoblographer one of the most progressive publications in the photography world. Far more than others, we do the work to spotlight women, POCs, LGBTQ, and disabled photographers.

Fujifilm GF 110mm f5.6 T/S Macro Review: A Modern Masterpiece
by Chris Gampat
December 3, 2024
Very rarely am I so moved by a first-party camera lens. However, the Fujifilm GF 110mm f5.6 T/S Macro has managed to do some wonderful things that make me want to always use it. In fact, this is far better than any of the cameras that Fujifilm has put out recently. And I'm also sad to be returning it. Lenses like this are truly made for photographers to be able to make better photos in-camera. So if you consider yourself a true photographer, you're going to love this.
Fujifilm Photographers: These are the Presets You Need
by Chris Gampat
December 3, 2024
Sure, you've got film simulations. But you don't have these looks! The Phoblographer's Photojournalism Presets are designed to make photography easy for everyone. With the Phoblographer's presets, you can speed up how you work in both Capture One and Lightroom. You folks asked for them, and now you've got them! Over the years, the Phoblographer's staffers have tested various cameras and lenses as well as film emulsions. So we decided to make Lightroom presets and Capture One Styles that look like the classic film look that you'd see in magazines. In fact, we based it off of old-school photojournalism. That's what we named them for; and we think they're some of the best lightroom presets that you'll get your hands on. This article gives you visual examples of all 20 presets in our Photojournalism Presets Pack, as applied to various portraits we've taken over the years. And if you want, you can purchase them right here at our store.
Fujifilm GFX 100S II Review: Is Fujifilm the New Pentax?
by Chris Gampat
December 3, 2024
Fujifilm has said many times that they will never get into full frame. So instead, they've pushed APS-C and full-frame cameras. This is a strategy that Pentax did for many years until they finally caved. The Fujifilm GFX 100S II is one of those cameras that Fuji positions to replace your full-frame camera. It's targeted squarely at the image quality and with some of the extra features which can be hard to use. But quite honestly, in late 2024, Fujifilm is starting to feel like the Pentax de ja vu all over again.
Fujifilm and Google Have an Unlikely Collaboration
by Nilofer Khan
December 2, 2024
Fujifilm is having a great year. The company launched the new gears during the X Summit, and their fiscal year sales report shows an upward trend now. In fact, with the improvement of the GFX lineup, the company is also gearing towards catering to premium users. Amidst this, the Fujifilm Instax series also deserves a shout-out. They have successfully captured the entry-level and mid-tier segments with their exciting products, especially enticing the younger generation. They are now furthering this development with a new partnership with Google.

by Hillary Grigonis
December 2, 2024
Building on the success of the R3, the Canon EOS R1 proves that there’s more to cameras than megapixels. Designed as Canon’s high-end sports and action camera, the R1 uses a 24.2-megapixel full-frame sensor capable of capturing stills at up to 40 fps, or even taking both video and stills simultaneously. The 96-megapixel high-resolution mode, …
