THIS WEEK’S CONTRIBUTORS

Keenly priced sports zoom from Sigma

Major photo competition furore

Pentax brand’s ‘shock’ return

Eco-friendly pinhole camera released

Viewpoint Damien Demolder • Content Credentials might stop malicious fakes, but only if the system is widely adopted

Port Talbot UFO Investigation Club by Roo Lewis £40, GOST Books, hardcover, 136 pages, ISBN: 9781910401989 • A touching long-term documentary project takes a closer look at an oft-overlooked Welsh town, discovers Amy Davies

Is the Sony Alpha 9 III really a game-changer? • The new Sony A9 III is the first camera with a global shutter sensor. It’s technically very exciting, says Andy Westlake, but beware of getting caught up in the hype

One camera, fixed lens: infinite possibilities • Premium compacts are professional-level cameras that are typically used for street photography, yet can be used to shoot a much wider range of subjects than you might expect. We speak to photographers who use the limitations of their cameras as a catalyst for creativity and a sense of liberation…

Collaboration? • A new book looking at the relationship between photographer and sitter is an engaging and complex study, finds Damien Demolder

Capturing the moment • An exhibition that claims to explore the relationship between painting and photography fails to deliver on its promise, says Tracy Calder. However, if you like great art and you’re willing to ignore the brief, you’re in for a treat
