Mitch Lally tested the Viltrox 25mm f/1.7 lens on a Fujifilm X-E5 for a month, using it for fashion and portrait work. The lens offers a 38mm equivalent field of view on APS-C and maintains good center sharpness even when cropped. Elsewhere, Lincoln McCoy, an employee at VanDoIt, a custom van company, altered photos of his coworkers using the Liquify tool, giving them exaggerated features. He then sent these edited images to his colleagues, asking if they were approved for the company website. Separately, Lexar, a prominent storage brand, is addressing the issue of data degradation in unpowered memory cards, a problem affecting current TLC and QLC flash technologies.
