Reviews and other news.
The Tamron 70-300mm USD review is almost finished, and will probably be posted by Monday or Tuesday. It’s a great lens but has some quirks. Following the review by a couple of days will be the Tamron and Sony 70-300mm quick comparison, it’s interesting and a little surprising.
I’ve started the Rokinon 35mm F/1.4 review; so far it’s great, but I didn’t expect it to be so tough to focus properly around F/1.4-2 at less than infinity distances.
Marc, from the Netherlands wrote me to point out a much cheaper alternative to the LED litepanels
listed below. A place called CooLLCD has some similar LED devices, but costing less than half the price! Additionally, the HDV-Z96 can use Sony video batteries for super long life, as well as AAs. Marc says they were available at B&H Photo at some point in time, but they aren’t right now. I’ve never shopped at CooLLCD, but assume it’s a legit place.
