A press freedom warning from Iran, and Miller closes after 70 years
From the Editor
Iran is moving to criminalise all contact with foreign media, a fresh escalation for photojournalists already facing lengthy sentences under the current crackdown. Closer to home, Sydney's Miller Camera Support Equipment has closed after 70 years as the inventor of the fluid head, while DPReview's former Science Editor Rishi Sanyal has died at 46. Lens news rounds out the day with early reviews of Sony's new 100-400mm pair and a rare autofocus fisheye from 7Artisans.
