Tamron 20-40mm F2.8 Di III VXD A062
I took this lens to Nepal and Bhutan for a few months in late 2023. If you're interested in more than just tech specs, and what it's like to work with this lens for an extended time then you've come to the right place.








My detailed thoughts on the Tamron 20-40mm F2.8 are covered in a blog post where I travelled with both this lens, and the Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8. I created this page to make it easier for people and search engines to find my detailed post that doesn't have such a specific title!

This was a great lens and easily one I can recommend to photographers. Very sharp. Very good AF performance. Very compact form factor and delivers professional results.

Full details here in my November 2023 Tamron zoom-lens feature:

Good Gear

Very selected features on the hardware, software and extra wares that help me get the job done.

TT Artisan 35mm F1.8

Food photography lens for smaller mirrorless cameras. Excellent quality images and a fast aperture make this lens the ideal companion to your APS-C sized sensor such as the Nikon Z50 and Canon R50.

Tamron 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD

I travelled in the Himalayas for a few months with this lovely lens. If you're interested in more than just tech specs, and what it's like to work with this lens for an extended time then you've come to the right place.

Rotating Collar from NISI

NISI have executed an excellent design with well considered detail and smooth operation. We've found this kit to be useful in the kitchen shooting video, and in the Arctic shooting auroras. Excellent bang for buck.

Full Frame 40mm F2 AF

Two weeks ago I set off on my journey across Nepal with this marvellous little lens. It's the 40mm F2 AF from TT Artisan and I'm really looking forward to sharing with you some of those photos, and also sharing my thoughts on why I think this is an absolutely stellar lens.

SIGMA 60-600mm Field Review

I spent a few weeks in The Outback with the new SIGMA 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS SPORT L-Mount. The name is a mouthful, and the lens is a handful. This super telephoto represents the latest in AF and OS technology from Sigma, packaged into a superbly flexible and optically impressive full-frame wildlife lens. Available for both L-Mount and E-Mount.

LUMIX G9II for Birds

Lets walk through a host of features built into LUMIX G9II that might help you to take better bird photos. We'll go through burst modes, pre-shutters, autofocus setups, and a few extra treats. There’s even a downloadable camera setup to help you get started and use the same settings that I have.
