Laowa (Venus Optics) has never been afraid to take on challenging lens designs. It is hard to find a “conventional” lens in their lineup, as every lens has some kind of unique twist to it. Macro at very wide angles or extremely high magnification levels, a design that emphasizes zero […]
It was a cool -20°C outside as I prepared this special featurette for PHOTONews Flash. I grabbed my new Z 9 with the 24-70mm lens, and headed out to play in the snow, using the H&Y circular ND64CPL filter and the magnetic graduated neutral density filter GND 0.9. During my […]
An (almost) non-biased review of the Tamron SP 35mm f1.4 Di USD lens. A 35mm lens has historically been my go-to choice as a photojournalist. It renders a natural perspective of my subject while establishing the setting… ‘who and where’. The f2 Summicron pared with an M series Leica was […]

Tamron’s first full frame lens for Sony mirrorless, the Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 RXD was an unqualified success. I lauded it in my review, as, although the lens was fairly plain in terms of build and features, it had excellent autofocus, very good optics, and a very reasonable price…not to mention a […]

35mm, f/2.0, 1/800 sec., ISO 200 My main lenses for portrait photography are fixed-focal lenses although I have also used a number of zoom lenses before.
