Sigma's Art lenses are among the most popular third party lenses on the market these days with photographers from nearly every major brand having the ability to make use of these excellent lenses. Well, it appears the folks over at Sigma are feeling a little extra generous this holiday season and have recently announced a series wide discount of $100 off.
I grew up in a household where unlike many others in the neighborhood, had digital point and shoots. Instead, my late and technologically inept mother kept disposable cameras close to her heart. My college graduation in 2009, my high school graduation in 2005, my birthdays--they were all caught on film that's now sadly gone due to destruction.
Sony is partnering with the Photo Start foundation to encourage people to donate used (and new) working cameras, lenses, and accessories to help at-risk children around the world. The project uses photography to teach and improve self-reliance, self-esteem, and self-confidence.
I've been a Capture One convert for a while now as all our testing involves running RAW files and more through the program. It's simply a better piece of software than Lightroom is; and at this point both versions of Adobe Lightroom feel way too pedestrian for the type of work that I'm doing.
The best thing about this time of year is the sales, and even if the majority of the money we spend on these savings is for others, that doesn't mean we can't have a deal or two that we take advantage of for ourselves.
Regardless of how you feel about DxOMark and their camera sensor rankings, the fact is that these numbers are an interesting peek into how one sensor may stack up against another. Probably the two biggest launches of the year in 2017 has been the Nikon D850 and the Sony A7R III.
So, as we recently did with most of the camera systems that we cover regularly, we are going to continue putting together these series of ultimate guides based on the various tutorials and lists, and guides that we produced on various topics throughout the last year.
Ultra-fast G Series CFast memory cards with up to 510MB/s write speed for photographers and videographers (ASIA PACIFIC, 28 November 2017) – Sony today announced the launch of a range of high performance CFast memory cards designed to meet the needs of professional photographers and videographers. The new G Series CFast responds to the ever Read more...
Sony is a company that in some ways, came out of the blue when it comes to photography. Years ago they bought the Minolta camera business and therefore the Alpha lineup of lenses and cameras. Since then, they've made it evolve over time.

The revamped Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Trioplan 100mm f2. 8 Lens has been around for a little while now, and it will mostly appeal to the photographers that like the look of old vintage lenses. Indeed, these lenses have different coatings and construction than many modern optics which are designed to be super sterile and sharp.
To say that the buzz surrounding the Sony A7R III was high is a bit of an understatement, and despite Sony knowing that they pretty much had the best all-around mirrorless camera on the market coming down the pipe, early demand caught even them off-guard.
We have posted a lot of great Sony guides here over the last year regarding everything from cameras to lenses, accessories and everything in-between. If you’re looking for an easy place to get some information on Sony’s E-Mount system then you are in the right place.
It is a question that you may have found yourself asking at some point over the years, 28mm or 35mm? These are two focal lengths that render somewhat similar fields of view, have similar distortion characteristics and are generally around the same size.
Sigma recently unveiled their 16mm F1.4 for Sony E-Mount (designed for APS-C sensors) and Micro Four Thirds. While at Photo Plus Expo 2017 Sigma was showing off their new 16mm and we had a chance to play with the lens so here are our initial impressions on it.
Canon and Nikon, watch out: Sony is on the rise. Just months after Sony claimed the #2 spot for full-frame interchangeable lens camera sales in the United States, Sony has also passed Nikon at the largest online camera gear rental business in the US.
So as you have no doubt heard, Sony just announced their newest A7 series camera, the A7R III, which features some pretty impressive improvements over the A7R II. Notably, the A7R III retains the same exact 42.
When it comes down to it, there’s nothing magical about the mirror in traditional SLR cameras. While it performs a very specific function, the mirror isn’t required to take a photograph, and plenty of cameras in the pre- and post-digital eras already operate mirror-free.
Ожидается обновление линейки A7. Пресс-мероприятие Sony пройдет 25 октября в 18:00 по Москве. В прошлом компания Sony каждый год радовала нас многочисленными анонсами новых камер. Но теперь и она замедляет безумные скорости выпуска своих продуктов.
Every photographer needs to start somewhere. And one of the biggest things that people don't understand is the answer to the question "What makes someone a photographer?" Technically, everyone is a photographer these days.
The world’s love affair with Film is far from over if the return of Kodak’s Ektachrome or the popularity of film emulation presets is not clued enough. But another new project aims to take that to another level, with a camera that featuring interchangeable backs, one capable of shooting film and the other digital.
Canon's 7D Mark II and Panasonic's GH4 are two really popular options right now for photographers, and right now both are available for great deals over on Amazon. But that isn't all, T5i Kit deals are nice (if you aren't set on a newwww camera) and the GX8 is also a good deal right now.
One of the brands of cameras that you would absolutely never think would come back from the dead is Minolta; but according to Photo Rumors your lack of belief in zombies is wrong! Elite Brands, the makers of both Rokinon and Samyang, has seemingly struck a sort of licensing agreement to use the name brand.
It is no secret that one of the best advantages of mirrorless over traditional DSLR systems is the ease of adapting various lenses to your camera. You can use really old vintages lenses for a unique look and feel with ease, but the one thing that you always give up when you use these old lenses is Auto Focus – but Fotodiox Pro doesn’t want that to be the case anymore (at least on Sony mirrorless) thanks to their new PRONTO lens adapter.
We first shared this lightroom preset deal a few weeks ago, but time is running out on this limited time deal. The deal is over at PhotoWhoa and includes color presets, black and white presets, film look presets, just about every type of preset you can imagine, this pack has it all and it is only $50, so if you are interested now is the time grab it before its gone forever.
If you're a person that has been looking to just get into photography, there's a strong chance that you've considered the Canon Rebel T7i. The Canon Rebel lineup of cameras often sell well due to Canon's name, bundles, and aggressive marketing/pricing.
The EISA Awards 2017-2018 has announced the winners of the year’s best technology and products throughout the electronics industry, and Sony has dominated the Photography category in the latest awards.
We all love bokeh, after all, what's not to like?! Actually, there is quite a bit not to like in the form of digits on the price tag. The best bokeh is not a cheap thing to attain, but with that said, bokeh is hardly extremely expensive either.
Time for another check in on the deals front! Today we have a great selection of deals ranging from fun accessories to some affordable lenses. Additionally, many of the Fujifilm and Panasonic deals that we mentioned in our previous most recent cheap photo check-ins, so make sure and check those out still as well if you have been thinking about it. They likely won't last much longer.
Time for another check-in on the currently available deals and sales across the industry. This is always a post to catch if you are on the market for some new equipment, as we all know, this profession/hobby is not cheap and any penny saved could end up a penny earned.
Lots of photographers want a camera with a shutter that is totally silent or at least incredibly quiet. The reason has a lot to do with hearing their own shutters. It makes a lot of sense if you're in a wedding hall or an area where the sound will reverberate and bring attention to yourself.
Years ago, Nikon tried something really courageous with the Nikon Df--but if the company were to create a brand new Nikon Mirrorless Full Frame F Mount camera, it would be an announcement that would genuinely shake up the industry.
The Citograph 35mm is a new campaign over on Kickstarter by the team at C. P. Goerz. The idea behind the project is to address the issue that we mentioned above – that is needing to carry your standalone camera with enormous lenses or carry big and awkward accessory lenses which complicate the smartphone photography process.

The weather outdoors is starting to heat up around here, and while you may feel the urge to go take advantage of that, why not take a quick second and have look at these excellent lens and camera deals that are currently available from Nikon and Sony.
I got my first camera long before I knew what to do with it. It was nearly 20 years ago, and I used it to document mostly class trips and sports days in school. My first serious foray into the photography world was in freshman year of college.
Fathers Day, the one day each year where celebrate the men that brought us into this world. Men love their gear and their gadgets, and as you would expect, this means there are some killer deals going on right now as companies compete to try and win some of the many Fathers Day dollars that will be spent.
There are a ton of lens and camera deals flying around right now. Nikon, Fujifilm, Rokinon, all have some great deals going on, but featured in our post today we are taking a look at some great savings on Sony lenses that can currently be had:
No, this isn't the Sony a7, but the Minolta a7 is perhaps one of the best film Alpha mount cameras that you can still get your hands on used. While the Minolta a9 is considered the flagship, there are features built into the Minolta a7 that can make it much more appealing.
Men like their gadgets, and that includes cameras, tech, and related items. This fact is not lost on the industry so as we eek closer to Fathers Day more and more deals of note have begun to pop up. Here are some that stood out to us in the crowd:
One of the problems with digital photography for years has been high ISO output. While it's become much better when you look at the photos on a screen, it's still not perfect when it comes to printing.
This addiction of mine began a few years ago and continues into today; it helped spur a movement. Remember a few years ago how Fujifilm came onto the scene with cameras that had retro aesthetics, looked gorgeous and actually functioned well while doing it nowhere as expensive as Leica? Then Olympus hopped on board.
Profoto isn't calling the new Profoto B1X monolight an update, but instead it's a replacement in a pretty big way. Most importantly, the Profoto B1X is offering a lot more LED Modeling light power (which works great double duty for video) and 50% more power overall.
If you want to get out of the studio with your portraiture than having some easily portable lighting in your kit is essential. A great modifier for portraiture is the beauty dish thanks to the beautiful light that they produce.
So you have your new Sony mirrorless camera and you are wanting to get into shooting better portraits, what should you have in your kit? Let's put together the essential budget portrait kit for Sony mirrorless shooters.
As photographers, not only are we always needing more storage to hold our digital images, but we are needing better ways to backup that data within our various workflows. One of the best ways to do this is with a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device that allows you to backup the data on your computer to a separate location within your home (or in some cases offsite).
It's easy for those of us with interchangeable lens cameras to look at fixed lens cameras with a bit of a scoff as we think to ourselves about how limiting and basic they are. It is true, for a long time fixed lens cameras were very much a staple of the consumer, and therefor less advanced, segment of the camera market.
When the Apple iPhone 7 was announced, it was clear that Apple was going after the DSLR and mirrorless cameras in an intention to end their industry. The new camera in the Apple iPhone 7 Plus is said to use a telephoto (though it's actually a normal) lens and a wide angle to create an image with a blurred background.
