This is a nice story told by Evan. It has a sad end (as he didn’t get published) but there is a lesson in this for all of us. Keep up doing your great job Evan!

Best tools for the post process of digital photos – an overview
Per Kylberg

Heavily debated and a frustration to many – here is a walk-through of the best alternatives. My background is graphic design, gradually evolving into an IT position afor “virtual systems”. From 1982 I have been evaluting, using, developing systems in theese areas.
The starting point is always the output, end product, usage of result. In my case the ambition is a large, beautiful pring that can hang on the wall for years and still be interesting! Systems should also support a process and/or enable a better process.
Photo creation can be separated into two sub processes: image capture and post processing/digital darkroom. “Capture” will take you through about 60% of the total process. Post processing is 40% of the final result. (In terms of creative effort). My post processing experience stems from 1966 – my first wet darkroom. Digital systems will never be as magicly creative as the darkroom experience, but takes a lot less time to learn and to execute.

Matt Granger can surely not be suspected to be a Sony fanboy. He is a long time Nikon shooter and tried years ago to switch over to Sony but did regret this step because of multiple reasons (poor Sony service was the main reason). Well times are changing and after testing the A7rIII in Perù he concluded that this is the camera of the year.

I know Matt is heavily invested in Nikon and the A7rIII is still not enough to force him to switch. But let’s hope future Sony improvements will make him go back to Sony again :)

And Engadget also says the A7rIII is the best camera you can get:

This Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS is the world’s best midrange zoom. It offers spectacular optical performance as well as first-rate mechanical construction at half the price of similar lenses, and it’s smaller, lighter and has better ergonomics than the more expensive lenses. It is a superb lens at a reasonable price, a weather-resistant baby version of the huge 24-70mm f/2.8 GM.
This is a professional lens at a consumer price!

Amateur Photographer writes:

For existing users who shoot with the FE 24-70mm f/4 ZA it’s an upgrade well worth considering, especially if you often find yourself coming up against the limits of the zoom range. It’s not as affordable or petite, but its extra telephoto range is oh-so-useful, while the addition of an AF hold button along with focus and IS mode switches are great for usability. Overall it’s just a really versatile lens that gives consistently excellent results.
