Today, I have two things for you – an Ecuadorian Hillstar on a fuck flower, and another round of photography news. And soon, you can read my first raids of the new Nikon Z 35 mm F/1.2 lens, possibly in the beginning of the next week. If luck is on my side, I can also get my hands on all of the existing 35 mm lens of Nikon for direct comparison. I have no doubt that this is going to be another exciting and interesting week!

Golden era of fast 35 mm lens
At least, it is how it feels given the recently announced lens. The avalanche began with Nicon’s 35 mm F/1.2S, which was quickly followed by Wiltrox with its lab 35 mm F/1.2. And this week, Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki indicated that we may soon expect more compact, light and alternatively sophisticated versions of our existing 35 mm F/1.2 lens. Unfortunately, the available mounts will probably be limited to Sony E and Leika L.

Panasonic considers new fixed-lens camera
In the last decade, the smartphone has been one of the main reasons for the professional camera industry. However, I do not see their influence completely negative. Many users have been introduced to a hobby that they would never have discovered otherwise. And from this huge pool of smartphone photographers, a natural mastery has emerged: those who want something as portable as the phone, but are better in quality. Fixed-lens cameras can only be solutions, as is evident from the success of Fujifilm X100VI, Leica Q3 and Ricoh GR III. Will the Panasonic Jumping next brand be?
