Three A7R2s went with us to Mongolia... only 2 survived.

Very annoying to not be able to take any sample images with it - maybe the staff were tired of being asked, but I found both I spoke with rude and unhelpful... pity, this looks like a fantastic lens.

New for Tamron - their first ever primes - both f1.8 and both with VC, I am sure these will interest some folks. Here I have a hands on test and check out the VC capabilities of them versus the 24-70mm VC from 2014.

Full Frame, weather sealed, with image stabilisation and this nifty OLED that shows your depth of field scale.... But it is 'only' a f1.8 and costs $1200. Is it worth it?

A great bag, with a big catch.

Olympus OMD-EM1, Fuji X-T1, Sony A7R, Panasonic GH4, Leica M240 - what is best for you?
