Over the past few days we've been sharing news and interesting products from the annual CP+ trade show in Yokohama, Japan. However, there's also a lot that goes on behind the scenes at a show like CP+. We've put together a short video that lets you join us here – at least in a virtual sense.

The Zeiss ZX1 was one of the great surprises of Photokina 2018: a full-frame, Android-based compact with a 35mm F2 lens. We got a chance to play with a pre-production example at CP+ and found something unlike any particular camera we've encountered before.

At the annual CP+ photography show in Yokohama, Japan, Nikon has been showing its new Z 24-70mm F2.8 S. We made a beeline for the Nikon booth to take a look.
