See how well the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 G Master is built in this great teardown video

John Aldred

Seeing camera gear dismantled can be like watching a horror movie for some photographers. For me, it’s fascinating. It’s interesting seeing the tech that goes into the new generations of lenses. It’s also cool to see how manufacturers overcome certain design challenges. This episode of Sgnl, sees the Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 G Master lens stripped down to its component parts. It’s not […]

The new Laowa 12mm f/2.8 is designed for full frame and almost distortion free

John Aldred

Ultrawide angle lenses are practical and fun. Almost every landscape, architectural, wedding or event photographer has one, as do many filmmakers. I have one, too. The problem with most of them, though, is barrel distortion. Usually, the wider the lens, the more of it you get. You can fix Barrel distortion in Lightroom, but it’s […]

AV.io 4K takes a shot vs. Atomos with USB 4K recording at a 1/3 of the price

Udi Tirosh

If you’ve ever tried recording in 4K, you know that recording uncompressed 4K needs some heavy guns. The most common solution is an Atomos monitor/recorder, and those are usually $1,300 and up. If you are shooting HD there are many capture devices out there, but for 4K… not so much.

Turn your phone into a teleprompter with the new Parrot Teleprompter 2

John Aldred

As somebody who speaks to camera now and again, having a script is great. But, I still mess up lines and may end up shooting the same few sentences half a dozen times each. That’s a lot of wasted time, and more footage than I want to have to sift through in post. So, teleprompters are amazing, but […]

Nikon just announced the world’s fastest 105mm portrait lens

John Aldred

This is one of those lenses that you almost don’t even know you want until somebody announces that it exists. I’ve been using my Nikon 105mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor as a portrait lens for years and always loved it. It’s one of my absolute favourites. I never really thought about a potentially faster version.
