Sony has recently introduced several new FE lenses for the full frame E-mount cameras. I’ve had the chance to briefly test the new FE 28mm F2 at a photo show (Professional Imaging in Nijkerk) and I wanted to share a some thoughts and quick photos I’ve taken with this lens. This is by no measure a full review, just a collection of my first look experiences.
Lowepro is well known for their high end photo gear. They have a wide variety of bag and backpacks to suit every photographers style and preference. Most of the Lowepro bag have a distinct photobag-look, you won’t fool anyone in their bags being just a bag or backpack. That can’t be said for the Photo Hatchback series. The backpack looks like a high end hikers backpack, with a sleek and modern look.
This is a rolling review is about the Sony FE 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 OSS lens. The 28-70 is the kit lens for the Full Frame Sony A7-series camera’s. When you buy it as a single lens it will cost you about 450 euro’s but if you buy it in a kit you’ll pay much less. This lens does get a lot of bad rep online. It isn’t sharp enough, build quality isn’t high enough and the lens is too big. Spoiler alert: I don’t agree.

This review is about the Tenba Shootout 24L backpack camera bag. A high end, compact but also very spacious backpack. Tenba has designed the Shootout series to be comfortable for active users who take long hikes, city trips or plan to take their camera gear on active explorations. The 24L is the mid-sized backpack, from the outside it looks compact, but it can hold an surprising amount of gear, and it has got loads of smart details. Read the full review to find out all about it.
Review about the Samsung Note 4 camera. A big smartphone with a 16 megapixel stabilized camera and a big 5.7 inch screen.
