Editor’s letter No business like showbusiness

I enjoyphotographic exhibitions andPhotokina, which happens every two years in Germany is the granddaddy of them all – it used to be THE show for newproduct unveilings. It’smassive – or rather it used to be. Don't get me wrong, this year’s show is seriously sizeable and you need sensible walking shoes if you want to make the most of a visit there, but it is a shadow of its former self. When I first went (1986!) names like Agfa and Kodak had aircraft hangar-sized halls to themselves, but as with everything else in the world, times change. So while still a big show, it’s not the behemoth it once was. I spent a few days at this year’s show, the last biennial show. Its next renewal is in May 2019 and from then it will be annual, so how its status as the show to launch new kit from will remain, we’ll have to wait and see. Whatever, the2018showwas the first chance many people had to enjoy new products. The two full-frame mirrorless systems, the Canon EOS R and Nikon Z, and the X-T3, the first Fujifilm X Series with a backside illuminated sensor proved to be the highlights for many visitors and we knew about themweeks before we stepped onto the plane, but there was new stuff too. The Fujifilm GFX 50R, Zeiss ZX1 and Panasonic Lumix S series for example, and there was also a multitude of lenses, lighting kit, bags and tripods. And of course there was the full-frame L-Mount Alliance with Leica, Panasonic and Sigma joining forces. Our news pages have all the details. With Photokina done and dusted, we can look forward to a busy autumn as we get the chance to try out all the new kit, and of course it will be fascinating to see how you, the buying public, respond to the launches, especially the three new full-frame mirrorless systems. Meanwhile, it’s time to enjoy this wonderful time of year. Yes, it’s colder and the days are depressingly shorter than theheight of summer but there is so much colour around and theweatherbeing so changeablemakes autumn brilliant for taking a few (thousand!) pictures.

I am a sucker for pictures of red leaves and over the years have shot thousands of them in arboreta around the country. But the number of red leaf pictures I am truly proud of I can count on the thumb of one hand, and that’s why I will be out there again in search of the ultimate red leaf shot. I don’t imagine for one minute that I’ll get it or even vaguely close but it won’t stop me trying. It’s the fun and challenge of photography, and if I get anything worth a look I’ll report back next issue.
