When Sony first entered the Full Frame Mirrorless market, one of their biggest pain points was their then-lackluster lens lineup when compared to industry veterans like Canon and Nikon. Fast forward to today, Sony now has 30 lenses available for their Full Frame E-Mount cameras, while Canon and Nikon are playing catch up with their mirrorless lens offerings. The tables have turned indeed. For portrait photographers shooting with Sony Full Frame Mirrorless cameras, there’s never been a better time to invest in some new glass. While Sony’s top tier G Master series of lenses have a proven track record of delivering excellent image quality with accurate colors and beautifully creamy bokeh, their more entry-level lenses are no slouch either.
Flickr may not be as big as it was during its heyday, but we can’t discount the fact that it remains one of the significantly better options out of all the platforms and communities like it. Most photographers may have moved on from it some years ago but there were still a good number who chose to stay as Flickr Pro members in the past two years. Fast-forward to recent times, Flickr CEO Don MacAskill is calling out for more users to upgrade their membership to Pro to help “the world’s most-beloved, money-losing business.”

While modern cameras have come a long way in terms of their overall designs, most still don’t have much in the way of character; this, however, cannot be said about Rangefinder style cameras.

Remember when we all went crazy over a 2MP camera on a mobile phone? Now we have a smartphone camera that has not one, but three lens options built into it. Apple by no means is the only – or even the first – company to have this feature, but it’s certainly the most popular.

The below photographers answer all those questions, as we take a look at five photographers showing the iPhone 11 pro is one of the best smartphone cameras on the market.
