Since its release in 2017, Sony 24-105mm f/4 lens has been a hit. It is the beginning of July 2018 now and the lens is still on preorder in all camera stores.Yes, small batches have been released and if you pre-order it is most probably that you will receive one soon, but it is not available for direct buy online.

While waiting for this lens to come, Tamron announced, and later released, a brand new 28-75mm full frame lens with constant f/2.8 aperture. It was probably released to compete with the Sony GM 24-70mm f/2.8, as many of the reviewers jumped to compare the two. Yes, both lenses have similar focal length, and both have constant f/2.8 aperture, but pricewise are very different. While the Sony GM 24-70 F/2.8 is almost $2,200, the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 is only $799.

Couple of weeks ago my Sony 24-105mm f/4 finally arrived. Because there were no signs that it can be delivered on time for the two upcoming events I had to shoot, I decided to rent the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 as well. At the end both lenses arrived on time, so I had the opportunity to shoot with both lenses at two weddings, and also use them for some casual family pictures.

We have a long, almost 20 years, relationship with Nikon. It was not very easy to write this article, especially on Friday 13th, and coincidentally on the 100th anniversary of Nikon.

After the marvelous F100 (1999), N80(F80) (2000), and FM3A (2001), my first digital camera from Nikon was Coolpix 4300. That little 4 mpx camera changed the way I was looking at Photography, when it was released in 2002. It was so small and convenient to bring everywhere that I found myself constantly taking pictures of everything,  experimenting new techniques, and… I didn’t have to develop film anymore.

Several years later I bought my first Digital SLR and since then I have owned many models, including D80, D200, D5000, D5500, D7000, D800, D800E, D750, D810, and D850. I also had the chance to use many other models, so my overall experience with Nikon cameras and lenses can be considered to be at least “advanced”.
