FAREWELL TO PHOTOKINA • With the demise of Photokina, the global photography community has lost a lot more than just its premier international trade show, contends Paul Burrows.

CHANGING SPOTS • To give it more mainstream appeal, Fujifilm has dumped the classic dials, but the X-S10 still has plenty of X-mount system goodness… and is easily the best-value model in the current line-up.

THE NAME BEHIND THE CAMERA VICTOR HASSELBLAD • You know the brand name and you probably know some of the history behind it, but what about the people who made it happen? In this series, we look at the personalities who, through often courageous decisions, got us to where we are in photography today. In this article, we look at the life of the teenager who was a passionate birdwatcher and became the creator of ‘The Swedish Dream Camera’.

PLAYING THE LONG GAME • You get ultra-long focal lengths in an affordable and hand-holdable lens, but it comes at a price. How well do Canon’s fixed-aperture superteles work in practice?

CANON RF 800mm f/11 IS STM

THE LONG AND THE SHORT(ER) • Canon has again exploited what can be achieved in lens design with the mirrorless configuration, creating a more compact and lighter telezoom that delivers exceptional optical performance.

CANON RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM $4,999 • Estimated average street price

CIRCLE OF LIFE BRUCE USHER • A lifetime of photography - from B&W surfing action in the 1960s to a deeply personal contemplation of the Australian bush and a sharp eye for the interplays on a busy city street — is documented in a visually enthralling and engaging new book by Sydney-based photographer Bruce Usher.

DARK STAR • The third-gen A7S is primarily pitched at pro-level video-makers, but what makes it so capable in this application also makes it a rather special stills camera too.

SONY A7S III (ILCE-7SM3) $5,999 • body only, recommended retail.

THE RISE, RISE, RISE… AND FALL OF THE COMPACT CAMERA • In the glory days of 35mm film, the compact point-and-shoot camera was by far the most popular category and the choice of models was always huge. And the compact pioneered many new technologies too.
