Lowepro has revealed a trio of rolling camera bags that maximise the amount of pro-sized gear photographers can pack, protect and transport: the Pro Roller x-Series AW. At the core of the new design is Lowepro’s patent-pending MaxFit System of adjustable, interior dividers. This micro-fitting structure makes it easy to closely pack pro bodies, large lenses and all essential accessories in a deep and roomy interior. The bags boast a patented, built-in All Weather AW Cover and hardshell exterior for superior protection. The Pro Roller x200 ($399.99) and x100 ($369.99) are sized to meet standard airline carry-on requirements. The Lowepro Pro Roller x300 ($479.99, pictured) is the largest of the thee, measuring 43.3cm x 29.5cm x 64.5cm and accomodating 1-2 Pro DSLRs with grip, 8-10 lenses and up to a 17" laptop.

Think Tank Photo have just launched their belt-mountable Modular Pixel Pocket Rocket (PPR).

The attached neck-strap tucks away in its own interior slot. The new PPR is available for $22.75 from the website below.

Think Tank Photo have just released their App House 8 ($44.75) and App House 10 ($54.75) hybrid bags for quick access to a small or standard-size tablet. Both App House bags offer dedicated pockets for carrying a smartphone and other small items, an internal irganiser with elastic and zippered pockets for connection cables, card readers, power cables, portable charger etc., a 4-way stretch pocket for rapid access to lens caps, memory cards, batteries or other items, removeable and adjustable shoulder strap with a non-slip pad, a seam-sealed rain cover, and more.

Singapore-based Adaptist have released their Pentax K+ Multi-Mount (PK+ MM) mounting ring, which allows photographers to attach Contax/Yashica, Konica, Nikon F and Olympus OM mount lenses to a number of Pentax SLR camera bodies. Compatible models include the Pentax *ist D, *ist DS, *ist DS2, *ist DL, *ist DL2, K100D, K110D, K100D Super, K-m, K2000, K-x, K-r and most Pentax AF SLRs. Note that this is not like a typical adapter - as Adaptist put it: "As most camera mounts have flange focal distances that are too close for adapters to be possible, by changing the original mount ring of the camera to an adaptive one like PK+MM, you can now mount different mount lenses without adapters, and still achieve infinity focus in most cases." The kit contains the PK+ MM plus 2 pieces of mounting shim for Nikon F mount, a 2mm cross-tip Philips screwdriver and a printed instruction manual. The Adaptist Pentax K+ Multi-Mount is available for S$98 + shipping via the website below.

Russian Photography is a new online exhibition presented by the Photographic Museum of Humanity (PMH). Curated by Anna Shpakova, Director of Photography at the Russian agency Ria Novosti, this exhibition explores the work of Anastasia Rudenko, Georgy Pervov, Denis Tarasov, Ilya Batrakov and the Grozny Collective Project. "The stories we are presenting today at the Photographic Museum are very diverse: we are introducing photographers from different generations, individual and group projects, and we are showing bodies of work from various genres: from documentary photography to a completely original genre entitled 'photographic realism', coined by the photographer," Shpakova says.

DxO Labs have posted their findings on the RED Epic Dragon sensor. The imager has achieved an overall DxOMark Sensor Score of 101, setting a new record. The unusually high overall score is attributable to the sensor's fantastic dynamic range of 14.8EV, and colour  depth of 26.5 bits, which is better than what we have seen from the very best medium-format CCDs. The low-light ISO score is 2745, which is a bit lower than that of the very best "35mm full-frame" sensors, but still impressive.
