The just-announced new Yongnuo YN 50mm f/1.4 II lens ($199)
In the past few weeks Yongnuo announced several new full-frame DSLR lenses (the Nikon F-mount version usually becomes available a few months after the Canon version):
While the free battery grip offer from Nikon is expiring this week, you probably already have noticed that the Nikon D7500 DSLR camera doesn’t have an original external battery grip available as an additional accessory.

Over the last few months, we’ve had a chance to test two of the world’s most popular professional camera bodies, the Sony a7R III and the Nikon D850, to gauge their strengths and weaknesses shooting underwater. Backscatter CEO Jim Decker and media producer Robin Dodd sat down to discuss camera features, lenses, and a few of the drawbacks of each. Check out the video below or scroll further and read on.
We’re trying out a bit of a new format with this video. It’s a long format but the discussion is filled with the kinds of details that us underwater photographers need to know. We hope you enjoy and please leave us some feedback letting us know whether you’d like to see more content like this!
With exceptional low light abilities, high megapixels and 4K full-sensor video, both the Nikon D850 and the Sony a7R III are the newest, most popular and best performing full-frame cameras on the market. We wanted to take a closer look at the specs and features to help buyers figure out which pro-level camera is right for them.

The first Nikon D850 cooled camera for astrophotography is now available for sale – a company converts a regular Nikon D850 to an Astro D850. The price is $4,950 ($1,650 over the regular D850 price of 3,296). To achieve effective cooling, they actually moved the sensor outside of the camera and performed several other modifications:
“We took out the image sensor and moved it towards the lens and made a cooling module. Extracted CMOS sensor from camera body located in front of mechanical shutter, the exposure control by mechanical shutter is impossible and can’t use optical view finder. But there is sufficient extra space between CMOS and Mount Ring, we can install Drop-In Filter system in the space:”
“The back focus distance between the image sensor and lens mount allowed room for the drop in filter holder. This system makes it possible to install filters without removing the lens. This is very useful including for narrowband imaging.”
