Adapting a vintage lens to a mirrorless body gets you inexpensive, well-built glass with a look modern optics rarely have, and it also brings purple fringing, darkened corners, and lines that bow at the edges. Every one of those flaws can be pushed around in Lightroom, so each one becomes a decision about how much of the old lens you keep in the final file.Jason Row of Rowtography works through that decision with two adapted lenses, a Canon FD 200mm f/4 and a Minolta MD 35-70mm. Both turn out to be stronger performers than their age suggests, so the corrections…
“Can you tell people that you’re from Hustler?” Ali G asks me. “Or The Source. Or Guns & Ammo. Speaking to a Guardian journalist ain’t a good look for me in the hood.”At Ali’s request, we are meeting in an independent chicken shop in Staines because – due to some sort of mix-up – he thought the one interview he had agreed to for his new film was Chicken Shop Date, which was “90% likely to lead to boning”. He follows this with an entirely unprintable reminiscence about the first time he and “me Julie” had sex in the disabled toilets…

If Michael Douglas had his way, he would’ve left the Marvel Cinematic Universe after starring in 2015’s Ant-Man and its sequel.

Amelia Earhart in 1936. | Library of Congress Pictures can be deceiving. A group of researchers discovered this firsthand after making a long journey to a remote Pacific island in search of Amelia Earhart’s lost airplane. The “Taraia Object,” submerged in a lagoon off the island of Nikumaroro, looked vaguely like an airplane in a satellite photo. But a team from Purdue University and the Archaeological Legacy Institute that ventured all the way there found that it was just a tree. Richard Pettigrew / Archaeological Legacy Institute “Unfortunately, we weren’t able to find that smoking gun,” says Steve Schultz of…

What’s on New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s mind? Policy, policing, potholes, surely. But this week, the Studio Museum in Harlem also made the list. The freshly 35-year-old mayor shared on Instagram that he spent his birthday at the museum yesterday. According to him, one painting on view left a lingering impression: The Hypnotist (2026) by Atlanta native Taylor Simmons. The work, he wrote, was “just incredible.” Simmons is a 2026 artist-in-residence, along with Simonette Quamina and Derriann Pharr, in the first cohort to work and exhibit in the museum’s new building. A documentarian of sorts, he works across painting,…
