Sony’s New 100mm f/2.8 Macro GM Is Its Best Macro Lens Ever

Sony has announced its first G Master lens dedicated to macro photography, the Sony FE 100mm f/2.8 Macro G Master OSS. It arrives a decade after Sony's 90mm f/2.8 G Macro OSS, a lens celebrated for its excellent sharpness and close-focusing capabilities. Sony's new lens promises to be superior in every meaningful way and aims to be the best macro lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras, period.

Are Old Compact Cameras Good, or Is It Just Nostalgia?

Three men hold different cameras toward the viewer. The man in the center, with gray hair, focuses on his Canon camera. The man on the left squints his eyes, holding a Sigma camera, while the man on the right holds a Sony camera.

Earlier this summer, Chris Niccolls, Jordan Drake, and I browsed the fixed-lens section of KEH's website to see what was available for a reasonable price. With compact, point-and-shoot cameras suddenly exploding in popularity, we were wondering: have they aged well, or is it just nostalgia?

New Digital Art Restoration Method Can Save the World’s Dying Artworks

Most of the world’s art is locked away and will never be seen.
