Tokina has unveiled a new APS-C lens for Canon and Nikon DSLR shooters. The redesigned Tokina ATX-i 11-16mm f/2.8 CF zoom lens tries to hit the trifecta: a fast, ultra-wide angle zoom lens that's also affordable. Something we don't see too much of.
It looks like Nikon is preparing to enter the mirrorless APS-C market and take on Sony's a6000 series cameras. According to a breaking report from this morning, Nikon is planning to release the "Z50" APS-C mirrorless camera and two lightweight DX-format mirrorless lenses "soon."
Portrait photographer Julia Trotti recently put together a useful comparison video for beginners where she captures portraits using a crop-sensor camera and her most-used prime lenses: a 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 135mm.
After a many year hiatus, I returned to photography as an avocation. In years past, I had been a semi-pro, using primarily Leica gear and film, of course at full frame. In those days the only significant half frame camera was the Olympus, which in spite of the smaller but more useful format gave a good account of itself. It did not hurt that Olympus glass was at that time some of the best coming from Japan, especially for snappy contrast.

If you shoot portraits and you're not sure if you should upgrade from the APS-C system you're using to that full-frame body you're coveting, read this first. Photographer Manny Ortiz gives you a side-by-side comparison between the APS-C Sony a6000 and the full frame Sony a7 II for portrait photography so you can see the difference for yourself.
Nikon today announced the new D500 DSLR, a DX-format crop-sensor DSLR with pro-level features. It's the successor of the popular Nikon D300S, but it shares quite a bit in common with the new Nikon D5.
"The New Nikon D500 establishes a new era of DX-format performance," Nikon says.
Many of Canon's announcements as of late have been for its full frame DSLRs, but the company hasn't forgotten about all its APS-C customers. It will reportedly be refocusing on its EF-S crop sensor gear at the beginning of next year, with announcements of new lenses and a DSLR.
