Over 2,000 people backed that unique SPINN camera gear protector

/a>

On paper it’s a very simple idea, but the German company Spinn convinced to get over 2000 people to backup their adhesive wrap on Kickstarter (Click here).

In orthopedics, similar materials have been around for a long time. Spinn has translated this principle together with a well-reputed manufacturer into a soft, firm and protective material. If you like it preorder it now on Kickstarter (Click here).

New Sigma 16-28mm review at SonyAlphaBlog: “Overall it is a bit better than the Tamron 17-28mm”

Share

The new Sigma lens is now in Stock at BHphoto. Adorama. Amazon. FocusCamera. Fotokoch DE. Erhardt DE. Calumet DE. WexUK.

Marc from SonyAlphaBlog tested the new Sigma lens and concluded:

The Sigma 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN provide a very good lens for a 24/33/42Mpix camera. Overall it is a bit better than the Tamron 17-28mm F2.8 Di III RXD : wider , more consistent from centre to corners and a little bit sharper at the wide position (16mm). If compactness and max sharpness are the most important for you then the Sony PZ 16-35mm F4 G will be the best choice (both in photo and in video). If you want the best one for 50/61Mpix sensor then stick to Sony FE 16-35 mm F2.8 GM or the Sony PZ 16-35mm F4 G
