Dude, trust me. This is your chance. If you’re a Sony shooter, then you need the Tamron 35-150mm f2-2.8. We gave it an Editor’s Choice award in our review. This lens helped me feel much more artistically free than several other zoom lenses out there. In fact, the lead image is one that got me my most interactions on the VSCO platform. It’s truly the only standard zoom lens you need as a photographer because of the aperture range and all the great tech inside. The Tamron March Mega Sale is running until April 7th, 2024. Here are all the deals you care about.
“I’m inspired by the feelings – not only mine but also the heroes of my photos,” photographer Nastya Gornaya (she/her/hers) tells the Phoblographer in an interview. “For example, last year, my friend told me about her impressions of the architecture of one big city. Her story inspired me, and on my next trip to this city, I devoted half a day to shooting certain buildings…” Nastya is pretty big on calling these creative collaborators heroes, which we don’t hear often. This mindset treats her subjects with a reverence that doesn’t sound the same as when a photographer calls someone their subject, model, or muse. She combines this with a very special method: in-camera multiple exposures using film cameras.
The Sony a7c II is a small camera with quite a bit of technology inside. It’s truly better than the Sony a7 IV which it’s based on in several ways. This is thanks to the AI processing chip inside that gives it a lot of superpowers that some of Sony’s other camears have. And when it comes to figuring out what lenses might be best for it, there’s a whole lot you can choose from via Sony and other brands. Luckily, we’ve independantly reviewed the most lenses for the Sony E mount in the real world — which is a hill we’ll die on. If you’re searching for the best lenses for the Sony a7c II, we’ve got several great ones for you to look at in this roundup.

A few weeks ago we launched our first set of Adobe Lightroom compatible editing presets. We’ve had a really good response to them so far and this article here showcases more of their capabilities. While they work great on landscape, travel, and street photos, we realized they also work wonders with portraits. This article gives you visual examples of all 20 presets in our Photojournalism Presets Pack, as applied to various portraits we’ve taken over the years.
I truly want to like the Sony a7r V — but I can’t. While Sony a1 and a9 cameras are ones that I adore, the Sony a7r V feels like a camera that came out before the pandemic still. For a while, I truly thought that the 60MP sensors in the newer Leica cameras were the same sensor as what’s in the Sony a7r V. But it really doesn’t seem to be the case. For a fair amount of my shooting, I genuinely need the benefits that a higher resolution sensor can give me. And here’s why I think the Leica SL3 is better than the Sony a7r V.
This lens is gorgeous, and we’re giving it away! This month, the Phoblographer is giving away a beautiful 7Artisans 50mm f1.1 lens in Leica M-mount to one lucky subscriber.

Previously, the Phoblographer reported that Lensrentals purchased BorrowLenses. However, we also reported that they’ll acquire the BorrowLenses locations and employees. That was reported based on the information we had at the moment, which wasn’t clear. However, it turns out that this won’t be the case. Lensrentals provided us a quote on what’s happening.
If you’re not familiar with WhiteWall already, you’ll quickly realize the intense level of self-care you’re missing out on as a photographer. The company makes some of the best prints we’ve seen and uses innovative ways to display them in your home or in your clients’ homes. And if you already have a website like those that Format or Squarespace offer, you might have a print shop integrated. But PhotoDeck — a website maker for photographers that isn’t as well known — just teamed up with WhiteWall to offer prints. But here’s the best part, they’re not taking a commission on the sale.
I’ve been waiting for Panasonic to make something very specific. And more than anyone else, I think they were in the best position to do so. I’m talking about another rangefinder-style camera. The ones they did were incredible. But more specifically, with them being a part of the L-Mount alliance for such a long time, I’m really waiting for a rangefinder-style camera body with autofocus and all. But I don’t necessarily want one like the Sony a7c series. Instead, I’d like something bigger and more proper rangefinder-style.
