The Northrups compared the three following setups for wildlife photography:
I am sure the upcoming Sony A1II will improve on most of the limits mentioned in this video:
You can preorder it now at Amazon, BHphoto, Adorama, FotoErhardt, WexUK.
Gerald Undone reviewed the new Tamron 90mm f/2.8 macro lens:
And here is a new review from Dustin Abbott:
Camera Mellow compared the size of the Lumix S9 with the competition like the Nikon ZF and Sony A7cII. But there is one “missing” part…the Sony ZV-E1 is actually even smaller if ultimate portability is your goal.
PetaPixelTV compared the three High Resolution cameras and the Sony landed…last in their ranking. What do you think about that?
You can finally preorder the super compact 28mm f/4.5 FE lens on Indiegogo (Click here). Here is a first collection of review of the new lens:
SonyAlphaBlog concludes:
The Viltrox 28mm F4.5 (99$ / 109 Eur) , is a pancake with very good performances. Most of the package lack AF, or have bad quality, but this Viltrox is one of the first very good pancake I have really enjoyed to use : very good to Excellent sharpness, very good AF, low distortion, good color rendering, very nice sunstars and a very low price.
The main weak point would be the average resistance flare in difficult situation.
Philip Reeve concludes:
Designing a tiny pancake lens – and offering it at a very affordable $99 – means there must be some optical compromises. And with the pancake lenses I previously reviewed, there certainly were a lot of those compromises – and those lenses didn’t even feature auto focus.
Here some of those compromises are also obvious: fixed f/4.5 aperture, no manual focus ring, no filter thread, high vignetting. But in the field, you may not even notice these on a regular basis. The fixed f/4.5 aperture in fact proved to be less of an issue than I initially expected and I ended up enjoying my time with this lens – something I cannot say about most of the competitors.
So out of all the pancake lenses for fullframe E-mount cameras (I think I have used all of them) this is actually my favorite so far. The inclusion of auto focus also makes it appealing to a broader audience than a purely manual focus lens.
