I already have (and love) my Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM ii (B&H) and didn’t expect to be so impressed with this Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM (B&H) as much as I was, but the extreme wide-angle focal lengths are fun to play with.
From all this, it should be quite apparent that I am in love with this lens. It is everything that you’d want and would need from a lens of this type.
For me, I would rate this the camera of the year – it is loaded with features at a good price point.

[I]f you are expanding your arsenal of Fuji lenses, the Fuji 56mm f/1.2 R (B&H / Amazon) should be high on your list of must-have lenses.
I really liked the Fuji X-T1, and it has been updated into a fearsome camera with the Fuji X-T2.
As mentioned earlier on, using the Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM Lens (B&H / Amazon) with the 42 megapixel of the Sony a7R II (affiliate), gave an astonishing amount of detail in the files.
I was genuinely surprised with the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E VR (B&H / Amazon). It performed much better than I anticipated with the $1,400 price tag!
With all these positives for the lens – are there any negatives? With various images that I shot wide-open, it looked like the Sigma was consistently a third of a stop UNDER the other two lenses.
[H]ere is a Canon wide-angle zoom that is an excellent performer.
I loved this camera. It felt good in my hands.
The Nikon D4s (B&H / Amazon) updates the already-awesome Nikon D4. The short summary lists some improvements, which while they may appear incremental, overall make for a solid new release by Nikon:.
The Sony a7R certainly brings high-resolution digital cameras within the reach of photographers.
Whether I would heartily recommend this camera, really depends on your intention with the camera, and what you expect from this camera.
With numerous test images I shot with this lens, and in using it on a photo-session with a model, this lens was stellar.
To sum it up: the Fuji X100s is what the original Fuji X100 should’ve been!
The Canon 6D is a surprisingly sturdy little camera, and feels good in your hands.
[T]he Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L II really is the best in this range.
[T]his stellar lens continues to build Nikon’s legend, and will be an essential lens for many photographers.
If you need a stellar macro lens for your Canon camera, and would also like it to double up as an effective portrait lens, then this is it!
