Schneider Optics iPro 2x Tele Lens – Expert Review
Schneider Optics is a name that will likely be familiar to most professional photographers and enthusiasts alike. They’re the US subsidiary of Schneider-Kreuznach, the German optical company and makers of high-quality DSLR and large format photographic lenses, and are on a par with Carl Zeiss and Leica. Schneider-Kreuznach is also the manufacturer of the popular B+W Filter range. At the beginning of the new millennium, Schneider Optics bought Century Precision Optics, a North Hollywood based manufacturer of film and video lens accessories. The company specializes in lens converters and mount adaptors for both consumer DV cameras and broadcast lenses and so it’s not really surprising that this brand name is…

PadFolios v.1.5 – iOS App Review
We recently interviewed the developer, Juan Pablo Mazuera, of this incredible app, you can read that here. We were very impressed with the extent of dedication that had been put into this app and couldn’t wait to review it. Take a look at our review below, this is a great app for the working photographer… While the iPad’s built-in Photo Album looks good and is well implemented, especially on the iPad 2, it’s not the kind of app that will impress a client when pitching for a high-value commission at a formal portfolio presentation. Your work maybe fantastic but how your book looks can make all the difference. What’s needed…
