Photographing Extreme Sports – by Noriyuki Watabe

Soon after I got my hands on the TAMRON 35-150m F/2-2.8 Di III VXD (Model A058), I gave it a try at the Extreme Sports Competition. 35mm, f/2.0, 1/400 sec., ISO 1600 Although my first impression was its solid heft, I was reassured by its astonishing compactness for such a […]

 Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 Di III VXD (A058) Review

Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 (A063) Review

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 […]

Original article was written by Mike Mander from Beau Photo For a change, I will be talking about a camera bag, a camera backpack to be precise, and not a digital item! I was recently off on a two week vacation, where I was over on Vancouver Island and Saltspring Island, shooting with […]

Shinya Takahashi and the Tamron 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD

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. All of them are excellent, but I’ve dared to choose fixed-focal lenses based on my understanding of their characteristics. Because I release the shutter […]

Square Filters with an Easy Twist

We’re all familiar with common filters – you spin them onto the front of your lens. These are great for most uses, but what if you want to use gradient filters? What if your lens doesn’t have filter threads, such as the Laowa 12mm or 10-18mm? H&Y has been working […]

Tamron 11-20mm F/2.8 Di III-A RXD (B060) review

2021 has been the year that Tamron has adjusted their aim to include a very important (and oft-overlooked) space – Sony APS-C E-mount.  There are a LOT of Sony APS-C mirrorless shooters out there, and despite the large audience, there are relatively few APS-C specific releases.  That seems to be […]
