VisibleDust Brite Vue Sensor LoupeCameraTown have reviewed the Brite Vue Sensor Loupe from VisibleDust, which allows you to closely examine the sensor of a DSLR.

“When examining my camera’s image sensor I found the best technique was to move the loupe around (though, not rubbing it against the camera), helping to bring into sharp focus all sections of the image sensor. Moving and even tilting the loup just a bit also helps you guage whether the specs or debris are on the sensor or on the loupe itself. I also found that moving my head back and forth just a bit also helped to change the magnification - allowing a better view of all parts of the image sensor.”

Pantone hueyPROImaging Resource have reviewed the hueyPRO, a new addition to Pantone’s huey family of display calibration products.

“Since it’s so small (and, frankly, attractive), it’s no trouble to leave it plugged in and mounted in its stand to watch as the light changes during the day. If it’s doing it’s job, you shouldn’t notice. And we didn’t. As we worked through the morning and the afternoon and late into the evening past the wee hours of the morning never taking a break except to reach for a dictionary or other professional aid, our monitor display remained constant.”
