Ricoh launched the GR III back in 2019, with GR IIIx in 2023, the last APS-C compact camera from the company, before they went silent. With the boom of compact devices now, and Ricoh hinting at a new GR camera during the CP+ Show, our hopes of getting a new addition to the series are far higher.
Canon is one of the few companies that are working to develop new optics for users. The company filed patents for fish-eye lenses, optics that use polarizing elements, and one made of plastic. Adding to this list are new patents for full-frame and smaller sensors, such as 1-inch sensors and APS-C cameras.
Many camera and lens manufacturers make wide-angle lenses and say things about them not having any distortion. But that's really not always true at all. Sure, you can fix it in post-production if anything.
Some photographers scoff at the smaller sensors used in Micro Four Thirds systems. But, with the right lens, I can almost forget that I’m shooting with a smaller sensor. The Laowa Argus 18mm f0. 95 MFT APO is one of those lenses.
Canon is slowly parading out more affordable RF lenses. The Canon RF 24mm f1. 8 Macro IS STM and RF 15-30mm f4. 5-6. 3 IS STM joined the company’s mirrorless options today, both offering stabilized wide views for under $600.
Sigma is a third-party company that’s known for lenses that tend to be a bit more budget-friendly than larger names. But, that’s not exactly the case with the I series, a set of metal prime lenses that are designed as more high-end than budget. The Sigma 24mm f2 DG DN Contemporary is one of those lenses.
So, you’re stuck at home and you have limited options when it comes to taking photos. If you’re thinking about joining the myriad of photographers who decided to do self portraits in the meantime, you might want to pay special attention to your 24mm lens.
