In 2013, we started reviewing every Sigma prime lens and compiling them into a guide. We haven't done significant updates to that guide since 2020, but we promise we will once our forearms recover from the strenuous workout involved with using their Art and Sports lenses.
"That looks like a 70-200mm," said Reviews Editor Hillary Grigonis when I showed her, Feroz, and Lara how large the Sigma 20mm f1. 4 DG DN Art lens was. Her feelings were further validated by the rest of our staff and one of my good buddies who came to my office and saw the lens personally.
APS-C has not received much love over the past few years. The EF-M mount hasn't seen any development in years. Sony, which used to be a big player there, has been focusing on Full Frame, bringing entry-level Full Frame (A7c) that cannibalizes their own flagship APS-C offering (A6600).
This is the story of how I was reminded that I do not miss the DSLR days, and I'm very happy that mirrorless has arrived in full. A childhood friend of my companion got married last weekend and I found myself photographing her wedding--a little against my will.
The Langly Paracord strap is a camera strap that I was super curious about. This website has reviewed tons and tons of camera straps. But this one seemed particularly fascinating. I had a feeling that it would've broken on us, but it didn't at all.
use it on their full-frame bodies like the Panasonic S5. We know some folks aren't the biggest Panasonic S fans, but they've taken a major step forward with firmware updates. And if anything, this new Panasonic 24mm f1.
Panasonic continues to absolutely amaze us since the start of the pandemic. Today, they're announcing the Panasonic 25-50mm f1. 7 lens for Micro Four Thirds. This equates to a 50-100mm f3. 4 field of view equivalent in full-frame standards.
There are loads of reports right now on the new Sigma 35mm F1. 4 DG DN Art Lens. It's easy to get tempted. If you're experienced with their lenses, though, you'll under that they're the McRib of lenses.
I'm going to be the first to admit that I'm really, really liking what the L Mount alliance is becoming. Like Android phones, there's still a lot of fragmentation. But the pieces are starting to work better.

What good is the purchase of a lens that you're never going to use? Is it worth it to you to have a lens in your camera bag or shelf collecting dust? Don't get me wrong--if you're a collector, then that's a different story.
Fact: the staff of the Phoblographer is always on the lookout for new tripods. We use them a lot when we're testing gear. And because of how much abuse we put them through, we tend to break them. None are created equal.
If the Sony FE platform needed something, it's an all-in-one zoom lens. And today, the cat is out of the bag with the Tamron 28-200mm F2. 8-5. 6 Di III RXD. Previously teased on their website, this new lens is coming in at $729.
Can the Tamron 70-180mm f2. 8 Di III VXD shape up and get past a few hurdles? We’re sure everyone is asking why the Tamron 70-180mm f2. 8 Di III VXD isn’t going for the extra 20mm to reach 200.
If you wanted to freeze the action at the Daytona 500, you would reach for a Canon 1DX instead of a Pentax 67. If you wanted close-up images of Aunt Peggy’s Poinsettias, a 28mm would probably be among the last lenses you'd reach for.
The DJI Mavic Mini is a super small drone, and it could honestly be the one that really gets over some of my personal issues with drone photography. As a city dweller, working with drones has always been a bit of a scary thing because of the designated zones.
A Nikon Z 85mm f1. 8 S could be music to the ears of any portrait photographer who has adored their lenses and, with today's announcement of the lens, other photographers could indeed be humming along to the tune.
The Leica 28mm f1. 4 Summilux was offered to me to test after requesting it a long time ago; and I genuinely never thought that I'd fall for it. I'd probably never buy it brand new as I prefer my lenses and cameras to have what we Americans love to call "Patina" to them; and even as it is I'm pretty well set on the M mount lenses that I currently own.
An Ohio couple is publicly accusing a wedding photographer of “fat-shaming” them after discovering that some of their engagement photos had been Photoshopped without their consent to make them look skinnier.
Getty Images has banned photos that contain subjects whose body shapes have been retouched to make them look thinner or larger. The move comes in response to a new law in France that requires that Photoshopped weight be clearly labeled.
Photographers who like backpacks have typically reached for the Peak Design Capture Clip, but if you want a camera strap instead, the Ponte Leather Co. Camera Lift Strap is looking to capture your heart.
Here’s a 4-minute video by French photographer Duncan Dimanche in which he looks into the lightest and cheapest full-frame camera kits available on the market. Dimanche digs through online retailers to establish the difference between cameras offered by four major brands: Nikon, Canon, Sony, and Pentax. While you may think that a Sony mirrorless camera […]
While the broad strokes of what is wanted on a camera usually revolve around the imaging fundamentals — resolution, ISO performance, AF, et cetera — there are some functions of camera design that have a significant impact on creating that often can be overlooked. The aspect that I want to discuss today is that of […]
It’s not often someone “reimagines” an established bit of kit, but that’s what the folks over at Photo Rock Bar have done. This strange looking weight for tripods, light stands and boom arms is meant to replace ye old sand bag with something more convenient and versatile. The Photo Rock Bar came to our attention […]
