How, you might ask? How does Tamron make incredibly lightweight lenses yet makes them very durable? If you didn't know any better, some might interpret their plasticky feel as something bad. But for the past few years, that hasn't really been the case.
In fact, your Tamron lens is built with a pretty great tolerance against what the world will throw at it. And more importantly, it will also ensure that your camera keeps shooting. So let's talk about this. . thephoblographer.com
At first glance, the Tamron 50-400mm f/4. 5-6. 3 Di III VC VXD seems like Frankenstein’s monster of lenses. Super-telephoto lenses that provide a relatively wide focal length are uncommon and generally awful. petapixel.com »

Tamron has issued a product advisory noting that select units of its 70–180mm F2. 8 Di III VXD (Model A056) lens for Sony E-mount cameras were shipped without proper calibration of the internal floating optics, which could result in decreased image quality. dpreview.com »

Like a lot of modern lenses these days, Tamron lenses are no stranger to built-in image stabilization (or Vibration Compensation as Tamron calls it). Thanks to modern technology, we can now alter how our lenses work thanks to customizable firmware that the lenses are programmed with. thephoblographer.com »

Late last year, we announced new changes to our reviews system. This is on top of all the other testing that we've done for years and called on the industry for. As it is, we're constantly revamping our system of camera reviews.
It's been a long time since Sony updated the 85mm f1. 4 G Master. But now, we've got the new Sony 85mm f1. 4 GM II. Since then, Sony has made improvements in the way of autofocus speed, clinical clarity, and weather resistance.
Back in 2019, we reviewed the Sony 35mm f1. 8 FE lens and even gave it an Editor's Choice rating. Don't get us wrong, this is still a great lens for a great price point. But as time went on, we did more investigation into potential issues with the lens.
The Nikon Zf has finally landed in our hands for long-term testing. It's an incredible camera. And by far, this is the single best feeling camera that we've used all year. In many ways, it's a welcome reprieve from the monotony of the rest of the camera world serving out different variants of the same thing.
The Canon G1x Mk III came at a very unfortunate time for the company. When it was released, Canon was still at the top in sales. But they admittedly cared little to nothing for serious mirrorless cameras and every reviewer fully stated that while they make good cameras, everyone else was still ahead of them.
Sometimes, I'm a bit shocked when brands release their own flashes. But this time around, I finally think that Canon has gotten it right. The new Canon EL-5 speedlight isn't super pricey, and it's doing things that all the other flashes just can't do.
