Vintage wide-angle lens with yellow-amber glass elements on blue background

Following my recent speculation about M-mount lenses being the next big thing, the M-mount ecosystem has seen some truly exciting developments lately.

  • Is ISO Invariance The Way Forward?
    by Jason Row on June 23, 2026 at 12:00 pm

    Much of the mentality of the film era has carried over into digital photography. We still consider ISO when shooting, it still plays on our mind that image quality may suffer as we increase our ISO. But what if we are worrying too much? What if ISO is somewhat irrelevant in a modern digital workflow? What if we have been doing it wrong all the time? The post Is ISO Invariance The Way Forward? appeared first on Light Stalking.
