Whether you're in the market for a camera or lens upgrade or simply looking for some shooting inspiration, there's plenty to explore this week.

Richard published his initial review of the Leica SL3-P, while Mitchell took Nikon's updated Z 70-200mm F2.8 VR S II into the field to see how its refinements translate to real-world shooting.

Beyond gear testing, we also asked the community to share their favorite self-portraits, and per usual, walked away thoroughly impressed with the creativity and craftsmanship contributors bring to every challenge.

We hope you enjoy this week’s stories, and as always, thanks for being a reader and supporting our work.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH VSCO

The One System Photographers Have Been Asking For

Most working photographers are spending $800–$3,000 a year on editing software, gallery delivery, a CRM, and a portfolio site—tools that were never designed to work together. Every job means manual exports, duplicate records, and time spent managing software instead of doing the work you love.

VSCO One replaces that stack with one connected system. Studio Pro and VSCO Film presets for editing. Galleries for client delivery. Workspace for booking, contracts, and invoicing. Sites for your portfolio. Everything photographers need, from photoshoot to payment.
