Adding to the Loxia family that includes the 21mm f/2.8, 35mm f/2 and 50mm f/2, the new 85mm f/2.4 rounds off the selection quite nicely. For now, anyway. I still think they […]

I created the video “WE ARE MIDBURN” because I have always been fascinated by the culture and the people that belong to the Burning Man community.
