Many photographers believe that you have to spend big bucks on a telephoto lens to create stunning wildlife images. The truth is, you can create compelling wildlife images with affordable lightweight lenses like the Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD. It’s true. You don’t have to break the bank these
For the past few years, I’ve been using more versatile lenses. These allow me to photograph a number of different situations, without having to worry about packing or changing lenses. It started with Olympus’ M.Zuiko 12-100mm f/4 Pro lens, and more recently, I’ve shifted to the Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 lens
When I first switched over to Sony cameras a couple of years ago, I tried out a ton of lenses before I made my purchases. One of the last lenses I purchased, though, was a telephoto lens. After trying Sony’s 70-200mm f/2.8 GM, I ended up choosing the Tamron 70-180mm

The Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM for DSLRs was a massive success for Sigma. Many photographers have asked repeatedly for a new Sigma 150-600mm DG DN (mirrorless) version of this legendary lens. Well, Sigma has delivered. I’ve had my hands on the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Sport
Another day, another 35mm prime lens. This time, it’s Sony that has birthed a 35mm option. The Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM. There’s no doubt about it, photographers who use E mount cameras are seriously spoiled for choice when it comes to this focal length. I have spent the last week
Wide-angle lenses have always intrigued me. While it took me a while to get my first wide-angle lens as I got into photography, the moment I did, I absolutely loved it. Since then, I’ve absolutely loved using them. While some photographers like to use telephoto lenses to get close, abstract
Who came up with the idea for a 65mm lens? I don’t know, but I have to credit the folks over at Sigma, who over the last decade have transformed the company with lenses like this. Ever since their Global Vision was launched in 2013, Sigma has gone from a
This morning, Sony announced the much-anticipated 50mm f/1.2 G Master lens. The lens is the 60th lens that Sony has developed for the Sony E-mount system (and 40th FE lens). This year also marks the fifth anniversary of the G Master series of lenses. Matching the size and weight of
