Soviet camera company Zenit is reborn!

If you’re familiar with 20th century Soviet camera clones you’ll probably be familiar with Zenit. Created by Krasnogorsky Zavod, the Nikon/Leica clones were a fan favorite behind the Iron Curtain and, like the Lomo, was a beloved brand that just doesn’t get its due. The firm stopped making cameras in 2005 but in its long history it defined Eastern European photography for decades and introduced the rifle-like Photo Sniper camera looked like something out of James Bond.

Now, thanks to a partnership with Leica, Zenit is back and is here to remind you that in Mother Russia, picture takes you.

The camera is based on the Leica M Type 240 platform but has been modified to look and act like an old Zenit. It comes with a Zenitar 35 mm f/1.0 lens that is completely Russian-made. You can use it for bokeh and soft-focus effects without digital processing.

The Leica M platform offers a 24MP full-frame CMOS sensor, a 3-inch LCD screen, HD video recording, live view focusing, a 0.68x viewfinder, ISO 6400, and 3fps continuous shooting. It will be available this year in the US, Europe, and Russia.

How much does the privilege of returning to the past cost? An estimated $5,900-$7,000 if previous incarnations of the Leica M are any indication. I have a few old film Zenits lying around the house, however. I wonder I can stick in some digital guts and create the ultimate Franken-Zenit?

YouTube For iOS Gets HDR Support For iPhone XS


An update has been rolled out for YouTube for iOS. The app has been updated with support for HDR on Apple’s new handsets, the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max. Even though support for high dynamic range video has been added to the app it still doesn’t bring an option to view videos in 4K resolution.

YouTube for iOS has been updated to version 13.37. This particular iteration of the app brings new video quality settings options. Compatible clips will display the letters “HDR” alongside the resolution that it’s high dynamic range content. It will be possible for users to select HDR options manually. The Auto quality option will enable HDR if it’s available for the video currently being viewed.

Interestingly, YouTube’s changelog for the update does not mention the arrival for HDR support. The notes only mention that the app comes with bug fixes and performance improvements. There’s no mention of HDR support for the iPhone XS and iPhone XS MAX being added with this update.

Despite the addition of HDR support, the app still doesn’t allow users to view video in a resolution higher than 1080p. 4K content is quite common on YouTube now and yet the app will continue to play it at downsampled resolution on the new iPhones. It’s the same story on iPads with higher resolution displays as well as the Apple TV 4K.
