March 16, 2025

This week, Richard published his initial review of what we can already confidently call the most controversial camera release of 2025 - the Sigma BF. 

The team also recapped their thoughts on what this year's CP+ signals about the state of the camera industry in 2025 and shared their interview with OM System about the future of the Pen series. 

Thanks, as always, for being a reader.
