The Sony FE 12-24mm F4 G is a full-frame-compatible ultra-wide angle lens for the company's E-mount mirrorless system. It uses a 'Direct Drive Supersonic Wave Motor' which uses a piezoelectric element to shunt a relatively heavy lens assembly quickly and... more
The Sony FE 16-35mm F2.8 GM provides the constant F2.8 wide-angle zoom that has been so conspicuously absent from the company's full-frame lineup until now. A fast wide-angle zoom is a common element in many photojournalists' camera bags, as well as being a... more
For the time being, Sony's extraordinary forward momentum seems as though it is here to stay. We have not one - but two wide-angle lenses to further fill out the full-frame E-mount system for professional and enthusiast photographers. Let's see what they have to offer.
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
Ive collected and shot film cameras for 40 years, but only started blogging about it in the last decade or so. I went looking for other blogging camera collectors and film photographers, hoping to find community among... more
We had a little bit of time to try out the new Olympus Tough TG-5 prior to its launch, in and around the waters of Seattle. As the weather improves, we'll look to update this gallery with additional underwater samples and a range of samples from various lighting conditions. For now, wet your whistle with these.
Olympus has announced its latest 'tough' camera, the TG-5. It's the follow-up to the TG-4, one of our favorite rugged cameras, and features a new sensor and processor, advanced tracking capabilities, 4K video capture, Wi-Fi and more.
One update after another has given Instagram, the Facebook-owned image sharing app, a look that resembles Snapchat. And here we are, the day we knew was coming: the day that silly augmented reality filters arrive on Instagram. Instagram version 10.21 for iOS and Android enables a set of eight face filters for the front and rear cameras. The ability to adorn photos with hashtag 'stickers' is new as well. Like it or not, it's just a matter of time before you see someone... more
