Starting again…

What business is essential? What measured and controlled opening makes sense? Are we making the right decision? Everyone around the globe is asking themselves questions that can not be adequately answered today.

Fuji vs. Phase One: How good is your glass?

Phase One IQ4 USB C Charging in the field

Posted on 2019/04/11 3:43 PM by Dave Gallagher

One of my favorite places to visit in the US is the desert of California. I find it amazing that one state can have so many terrains within a short drive. CA is truly a photographer’s dream in many ways. This year I had the chance to finally take the new Phase One IQ4 150mp Achromatic into the field to learn how to use it properly. We have had … Read More →
