Sony is surely making waves today, perhaps the biggest one being with their new Sony a9 III camera with a global shutter. But great cameras need great lenses, and what better way to make the Sony a9 III shine than with a shiny new Sony FE 300mm f/2.8 GM OSS lens! 300mm f/2.8 lenses have been very popular with DSLR photographers, but such a lens has been curiously lacking in the mirrorless realm—that is, until now.

In my roughly eight years of pursuing photography seriously, one of the most exciting things I have seen is yesterday’s announcement of the Sony a9 III, the first consumer interchangeable lens camera with global shutter.

One of Nikon’s most intriguing decisions in the mirrorless era is to sell two different f/2.8 zoom trios – one set of professional, S-line lenses for $ 2000+, and another set for about half the price but with Tamron-designed optics. In the cheaper trio, the longest lens is the $ 1250 Nikon Z 70-180mm f/2.8. How does it perform, and does it hold a candle to the high-end Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 S? This extensive review of the Nikon Z 70-180mm f/2.8 will answer all your questions!

Wildlife photography is a very rewarding, creative, and relaxing activity – that is, unless you just missed the shot of a lifetime. However, while being outdoors is generally good for your health, there are some risks involved. To help you return from your photo hunts healthy, happy, and alive (at least that’s what my wife always urges me to be), I’ve written the following tips for safe wildlife photography.

Recently, I was thinking about what I consider to be the greatest evolution in photographic technology in recent years, and I can’t decide. Automatic eye detection across the entire viewfinder ranks very high. A blackout-free viewfinder is highly appreciated, as well. And I also see a huge leap forward in high-ISO quality, although here I have to give credit to the software developers more than the camera manufacturers. What about you – what do you see as the biggest leap forward?
