Lucas: “I’ve been to Northern Norway in mid January to capture some winter moments. I have used a Sony a7sii with Canon optics most of the time and an dji inspire 1 x5r.
The Sony performed very well at the weather conditions! Low temperature and snow or slight rain was no problem.

Trent: “Got a chance to use the Tokina FiRIN 20mm f/2 for one week in Budapest, Hungary. Since there do not appear to be many blogs with reviews on the new FiRIN (and it was only recently released), I was wondering if your readers would like to see some sample images, and my initial thoughts on the lens.
I am not a professional reviewer, but a long time (amateur) travel photographer who enjoys good glass.
In a nutshell, the lens was super sharp, and extremely compact. Very minimal distortion for such a wide angle prime lens. And, of course, the price is right. Thank goodness a reputable company such as Tokina is now manufacturing quality 3rd party lenses. My images are NOT corrected for distortion because, as of yet, there is no lens profile in Lightroom.

Tony & Chelsea Northrup posted that over 1 hour long video about the Sony Alpha & Minolta Camera History.
At the end Tony even says he would now pickl the A99II over any Canon or Nikon DSLR :) And he also thinks Sony will catch Canon in the number 1 position…
