The year 2024 saw some exciting and not-so-great cameras and lenses launch. While we have been actively reporting on the camera market and the ups and downs of sales, those articles were limited to the sales trend of that month.
Sigma has been creating clinically sharp lenses for as long as we can remember. In fact, we have a whole guide dedicated to their primes, which we haven't updated since 2020. The reason isn't that we haven't got the time but that Sigma chose to stop sending us their lenses for review.

Canon often pushes out its best optics, priced at the much higher range, and then works on providing a more affordable version of it to its users. So, when they recently announced their Canon RF 28-70mm f2.
The year was 2020 when Sigma announced its 100-400mm F5-6. 3 DG DN OS Contemporary for E and L mounts. In our review, Pauleth Ip particularly noted how wildlife and sports photographers will love this budget superzoom.
We've finally arrived at that time when industry experts gather to announce the year's most powerful camera and lens. One such renowned accolade in the photo industry is the Expert Imaging and Sound Awards (EISA), which was first established in 1982 by five European photography magazines.
Map Camera, one of the largest photography retailers in Japan, has published its list of the 10 best-selling lenses of 2023 and the results are somewhat surprising. [Read More]
There are lots of folks who wonder what it's like to use new lenses on film cameras. And unless you're shooting Leica M, many of those lenses are probably for mounts that are kind of dead now. Nikon F mount's latest lenses don't really support their older cameras.
Tamron has announced that president and CEO Shiro Ajisaka will resign. Mr. Ajisaka is currently under investigation for the misappropriation of funds for person gain. Tamron has appointed current Vice President Shogo Sakuraba as the new CEO.
We think it's safe to say one of the most frustrating things with Canon's EOS R system is the lack of autofocus third-party lenses from the likes of Sigma and Tamron, along with the glaring wide-angle L lens holes in the line-up.
The 35mm lens is my personal favorite. It mimics the way that the human eye sees and has an incredible amount of versatility. With that said, manufacturers understand just how important this lens is.
It makes sense that a brand like STC Optics would make sapphire filters, yet most of the camera industry hasn't done it. Brands all across the tech world use sapphire glass. If you have an iPhone, you'll know it's supposed to be super durable.
Tamron Co. , Ltd. (President: Shiro Ajisaka; Headquarters: Saitama City) has developed an Android™ *1) operating system that improves convenience at the shooting site and expands the possibilities of photography and video shooting.
While the Fujifilm XH2 has been a joy to use, it's not the same unique joy that I'm used to from Fujifilm; and it feels attritional. That's not at all to say that the Fujifilm XH2 is a bad camera to use.
The death of the DSLR has long been vaunted, and even after the appearance of the RF and Z mirrorless systems, it still sees signs of life. But dedicated lens manufacturers might finally have killed it off. [Read More]
It looks like both SIGMA and Tamron are transitioning fully to mirrorless lens mounts, which was obviously an inevitable outcome. According to Nikon Rumors, this Read more...

The 24mm lens can be great for portraits of a certain type. We recommend something along the lines of the environmental portrait that tells a story about someone. After all, it's a very wide lens! It's crazy to think that, years ago, no one would've used a 24mm lens for environmental portraiture.
This is a pretty classic question. Is 35mm or 50mm better for portraits? Lots of photographers are told these are two of the most versatile focal lengths you can buy. And that's indeed very true. Portrait photographers can do a lot with these lenses.
There are lots of photographers who over the years have used 90mm macro lenses for portrait photography. Logically speaking, it just makes sense to do so. Most macro lenses are handy. In fact, they're arguably the most useful lenses out there because of everything they can do.
I will make predictions for camera sales, lenses, and more for the rest of the year. And before I go on, I'll state a few things. This is partially just for fun. But it's all based on what's happened this year.
Last year, I bought almost every filter that PrismFX makes. As a camera review, it's very easy to become bored. Every camera and lens brand tries harder and harder to erase character and fun from lenses.
Father's Day is near! And you can enjoy a lot of discounts right now on various camera lenses in various ways. Some of these are instant rebates, others are instant savings. But either way, we've found a bunch of great prices on gear for you to check out.
It needs to be said: the photo industry creates a whole lot of sterile-looking lenses. The past two decades have engineered the soul out of photography. But with Tamron lenses, you'll get a bit of that spark back.
"That's a camera I bring out when I need to work, not just for fun," is what a buddy told me the other night at dinner. We were discussing camera systems. He owns the Canon EOS R5 and the Canon RF 50mm f1.
Finding great prices on photography gear is hard. But consistently, Tamron offers the best quality for the buck. Specifically, many of the new lenses they've made for the Sony FE system are fantastic.
Canon has really put in the effort to make their RF lenses great. They've given us some real lens innovation. The RF 28-70 f2 took a lot of us off guard. Canon boldly released this lens early in their Mirrorless career.
This Mother's Day, Tamron is having some fantastic sales. If you've had a new lens in your Amazon cart for a while, this may be the one! This sale is pretty fantastic all around with instant rebates on premium zoom lenses.
When you think about 70-200mm lenses, you probably think of portrait photography. You're not wrong. These lenses have been used to capture portraits for years, but they can do so much more than that.
Fast, wide primes have been becoming more popular over the last couple of years. Photographers would usually get their wide fix from lenses like 14-24mm f2. 8 options. However, having faster, wide primes can open up many more doors.

Photographers who shoot with Sony cameras are certainly spoiled for choice when it comes to lenses. There are tons of E mount primes that range from ultra-wide to telephoto. These lenses vary in price from incredibly affordable to I think I need to sit down.
For a while now, we've been rounding up the most popular lenses with our readers at the end of every month. Now, we'll take a look at the most popular lenses for 2020. There have been plenty of new lenses across all of the major platforms this year.
We've said it before, and we'll say it again. A camera platform is only as good as the lenses that are available for it. Canon and Nikon have gone about creating gorgeous first-party lenses for their Mirrorless platforms.
How much do you have to spend to get prime lenses that will do a top job for you? $1,000? $2,000? $3,000? More? Nope, think lower, as in the hundreds, not the thousands of dollars. Modern manufacturing processes and advances in technology have made it so that affordable prime lenses can do a spectacular job.

Beautiful bokeh for under $600!?! Is that even possible? You bet it is. There are those out there who believe that you simply have to spend over four figures to produce portraits with buttery smooth bokeh.
There aren't many things that can fill a photographer with as much excitement as a new lens. As we all know, without lenses, our cameras are worthless. We also know that it's important to put quality glass in front of our camera' sensors.
A 35-85mm f1.8 full frame zoom lens would be an absolute dream to own! You can talk all you want about how big and bulky the Canon RF 28-70mm f2 USM L lens is. But it satisfied the needs and wants of so many photographers. I think the industry is overdue for a 35-85mm f1.8
Something extraordinary is happening in the world of Sony E mount lenses. We went through a period of massive prime lenses that required a gym membership to use. Now, we're being graced with super small, fast primes.
Every month we take a quick look at the photography gear you, our readers, have taken home. You've all been busy during September, that's for sure. Many of you are even on the same page, as many Sony and Fujifilm products have found new homes.
Tamron Japan has issued a statement explaining that it will be extending the closure of two key factories through the end of 2020 because “the global market has not yet recovered” from the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and demand is still depressed.
With the debut of the Sony 28-70mm f/2 GM lens this week, Sony now has 56 full-frame lenses and 77 total E-mount lenses. That is a lot of lenses -- by far the most among all full-frame camera systems and as the 28-70mm f/2 shows, Sony is finally free to experiment more. [Read More]
Roger Cicala at LensRentals is on a quest. A quest to MTF everything that moves… or in this case zooms. After putting off zoom lens comparisons as long as possible, Roger finally bit the bullet and published his 70-200mm f/2.
Street photography is a popular past time for photographers of all shapes and sizes thanks to it being something you can just grab your camera and go do for a few hours. Many photographers have obviously taken in beyond hobby status and turned it into a successful career, but for most, street photography is more about the artistic release being creative in an environment you have absolutely zero control over.
The comparisons were bound to start pouring in. When Tamron revealed their 70-200mm f/2. 8 G2, priced at just $1,300, people started asking: should I still buy the Nikon ($2,800) or Canon ($1,900) versions? Jared ‘Fro’ Polin has answer for the Nikon users: you shouldn’t.
If you click any link today on the search for Cyber Monday Deals, this is only one that should truly matter.
Watch out Nikon, that 105mm f/1. 4 might not be such a “novel” lens forever. The latest lens in what has been called “a never ending parade of optical formulas” from Tamron is a 115mm f/1.
