PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITIONS & EVENTS

EPSON INTERNATIONAL PANO AWARDS 2020 • Now in its 11th year, the world’s largest competition specifically for panoramic photography – originally devised here in Australia, incidentally – attracted a record number of entries from photographers in 96 countries.

PLAYING POSSUM

THE CROWD PLEASER • Nikon strikes a very appealing balance of affordability and capability with its latest full-frame mirrorless camera which, consequently, shoots straight to the top of the value-for-money table.

MAKING MOVIES

NIKON Z 5 $2,299 • body only, estimated average street price

PRIMED UP • Following its award-winning 14mm autofocus ultra-wide for the RF mount, Samyang reprises another of its favourite prime focal lengths for its next AF RF offering, creating yet another hard-to-resist value proposition.

SAMYANG AF 85mm f/1.4 RF $1,399

ONE SIZE FITS ALL • Panasonic may have downsized for the Lumix S5, but it lacks nothing in features and capabilities, and it still delivers a big performance. Furthermore, it shoots straight to the top of the class for video.

PANASONIC LUMIX DC-S5 $3,199

EDITING SWEET • A calibrated photo monitor is an essential part of any digital imaging workflow, but price and size can be deterrents. Acer has a solution.

ACER CONCEPTD CM2241W 24-INCH PHOTO MONITOR $799

HINTS AND BLURS • After a long career that started in the darkroom and has included fashion, music and editorial work, Stu Spence has become what he calls a “reportage photo artist” and moved from the literal to the instinctual, creating images that ask many questions… and often answer none. A new book of this work provides plenty to keep viewers guessing.
