Sony just debuted two new full-frame E-mount zoom lensesone ultra lightweight, one premium. The 12-24mm f/4 G ultra-wide angle zoom falls into the former category, while the fast 16-35mm f/2.8 GM joins Sony’s line of high-end G-Master lenses for pixel peeping sharpness fiends.
Both lenses break new ground for Sony’s FE mount lineup. The 12-24mm f/4 G is Sonys widest full-frame E-mount lens to date, while the 16-35mm f/2.8 GM completes Sony’s G-Master large... more

Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM
Sony's newest G Master lens is quite an accomplishment. The FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM is extraordinarily lightweight (especially in comparison to... more
Sony caught us by surprise when they announced not one, but two wide-angle lenses this week. Their new FE 12-24mm F4 G may be the 'little brother' to the FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM, but it also displays great sharpness, and is well-built and impressively lightweight given its spec sheet. See for yourself in our gallery.
The photographic 'holy-trinity' is an oft-described concept for the professional wedding, event and sports photographer. You have three cameras dangling from three straps around your body (and hopefully a chiropractor to help you with the aftereffects). These include cameras strapped to a 16-35mm (ish) F2.8 lens, a 24-70mm F2.8 and a 70-200mm F2.8 to make sure you don't miss a thing... more
The well-regarded Olympus TG-4 is being replaced by a more powerful modelsay hello to the TG-5. Olympus’ latest ‘tough’ camera packs a better sensor, better processor, and 4K video capability into a rough and tumble shell that is waterproof, crushproof, shockproof, freezeproof, and dustproof.
The big news with the TG-4 was the news that Olympus... more
