Tamron 12-20mm F2.8 for Sony and Nikon
I love this lens. Full frame and fully wide, this lens is sharp and straight and bright and just a wonderful bit of design. Tamron are doing really good things in the zoom space these days.
20mm is the new 24mm
20mm is now far more common than ever for both primes and zooms, but is 18mm the better option for photographers? And why even bother with 24mm? When shooting wider than wide does it make a difference to buy an extra few mm of perspective?
Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 - Long Term Review
This is a hard lens to leave at home. It delivers quality and sharpness for landscapes and the night sky, plus has a neat party trick with rear pocket for ND filters. Worthy companion to any full-frame E-mount or L-mount camera. (Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN)
Rokinon 14mm DS T3.1 CineLens
A seriously affordable astro photography lens to help you chase stars, auroras and ultra wide landscapes.
Auroras and The Lumix G9
Big auroras with a very small camera. The key is choosing the right lens, something ultra wide and ideally with fully manual operation.
Benro GX35 Ball-Head Review
Quality yet affordable option for full-frame cameras if you're looking to swap out your old ball-head for an Arca-Swiss alternative.
Be Positive About Negative Space
Negative Space is not empty space. It's there for a reason and it can help you find a path to better composition and more intentional composition.
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.
