Sony’s new Full Frame E-Mount or FE Mount system is still quite new to the world, and only a handful of lenses are even made for the system. But of all the lenses, this is one that I am asked about most often – the Sony-Zeiss FE 24-70mm F/4 ZA OSS.
According to a new report over on Nikon Rumors, Nikon is currently field testing a new full frame mirrorless camera that could be released as soon as the end of this year!
Thanks to the SLR Lounge Preset System I was able to take a rather dull, boring, and generally uninteresting RAW image, and turn it into a vibrant image full of impact and life.
Back in 2014, Nikon sent out an advisory about fake D800E cameras that were actually just modified D800 bodies and today, they sent out some new notices.
There are currently only two lenses in Sigma’s high performance ‘Sports’ lineup, the incredible 120-300mm, and the new 150-600mm. If a new patent is any indication, it seem that Sigma may have another Sports lens coming down the pipe in the form of a new 400mm F/2.8 OS.
Officially announced just this morning at Shutterfest 2015, Lensbaby has debuted their latest lens, the Velvet 56. Sporting a maximum aperture of F/1.6, the Velvet 56 is Lensbaby’s take on a classic mid-20th century portrait lens.
Should you be upgrading every year with the latest model in your camera line of choice, or maybe on some sort of every other model kind of rotation? Let’s discuss.
Let’s face it people, sometimes a bag isn’t enough protection for your precious gear. Sometimes you need something watertight, dust-proof and shock resistant. If you are a ‘throw your gear in the back of the truck’ or a ‘gear on a sailboat’ kind of photographer, this is the list for you.
This morning, images are leaking in the Canon rumor mill from a Canon event in China that appears to be a launch for some sort of fixed lens 4K camera. It’s possibly the same camera that we have been hearing about as a ‘competitor’ to the Panasonic GH4.
The standard A7 II kit comes with a pretty good 28-70mm kit lens. It has a variable aperture, but if you know how to work within its limitations, it will be a great performer for you. But there is also a FE 24-70mm F/4 lens on the market, so what should someone getting into the Sony E mount system do?
About a month and a half ago, I received the opportunity to get my hands on a pre-production version of the new SpiderPro Hand Strap from Spider Holster. I had been on the lookout for a good hand strap and I was convinced that this would be a great option. I was very excited to give it a try.
One of the best native fast prime options available currently for the Sony A7 II is the Zeiss 55mm F/1.8 ZA lens, but running at $1,000, I was pretty skeptical.
