In theory, the Tamron 18-400mm f3. 5-6. 3 Di II VC HLD could be pretty difficult to wrap your head around, but rest assured--it exists. Tamron just announced the new lens and it is quite the option for APS-C sensor DSLR owners.
Even crazier: it's pretty small and light weight. It comes in at 4. 8 in. and 24. 9oz. Now even crazier, it's only going to cost $649 when it hits the streets next month. . thephoblographer.com
When the Leica SL2s launched, I was pleasantly surprised at how incredible it was. For the first time, I'd experienced a Leica camera that could nearly hold its own with autofocus of the big three companies.
Sometimes, a zoom lens pops up out of the wild that absolutely surprises us. And what's most mind boggling about the Panasonic 18-40mm f4. 5-6. 3 is how small it is. But not only that, it's weather resistant throughout the entire range.

The Sony a7c II is a small camera with quite a bit of technology inside. It's truly better than the Sony a7 IV which it's based on in several ways. This is thanks to the AI processing chip inside that gives it a lot of superpowers that some of Sony's other camears have.
The Sony 55mm f1. 8 FE is one of the system's most unique lenses. It's small, lightweight, weather resistant, sharp, fast to focus, and delivers in ways that so many other lenses lack. We love it, and years ago, I purchased one to keep in my stable of Sony gear.
Every time I picked up the Hasselblad 907x CFV 100C, I heard a song in my head: "He'll Have to Go" by Jim Reeves. My earliest memories of it are of my parents slowly dancing together in the living room within our small Queens apartment.
"I hope it's not just another rendition of the Sigma lens," I told the Phoblographer's Panasonic reps on the last day before my holiday staycation. They assured me that the team went to Panasonic Lumix's engineers and said the same thing to them.
