Leica is a brand I respect and appreciate but don’t support. Or rather, can’t, because I’m not fabulously rich. But if I did have $5,000 to spend on a fixed-lens camera, I’d probably get the new Q2, a significant improvement over 2015’s Q — which tempted me back then.

If you’re doing ordinary photography and videography, there’s rarely any need to go beyond extreme wide angle lenses — but why be ordinary? This absurd and unique custom fisheye lens has a 270 degree field of view, meaning it can see behind the camera it’s mounted on — or rather the camera mounted on it.

Having a fancy camera phone is hella convenient and amazing, but there’s something so cool about instant pictures. They’re genuine depictions of a captured moment because you only have one chance to get the shot.

Join in on the fun with the Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 on sale for $39.99 at Best Buy — that’s $30 cheaper than usual. (The only catch? That deal is on every color except smokey white or lime green, but you’ll still save $10 on those.) Read more…
