In a world that puts a premium in instant production, faster is better. This applies to anything from the supply chain to emergency response. The same thing can be said in photography. With faster lenses come more precise image detail which result in better photos. That being said, Sigma has developed the 20 mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art lens which is the fastest 20 mm Ultra Wide Angle Lens in the world.

Its rapid responses are made possible by its Hyper Sonic Motor that enables silent but quick auto focus action. Consequently, this lens is also the first F1.4 Ultra Wide Angle Lens for Full Frame DSLRs in the world. Likewise, the internal parts of this new Sigma lens are made of metal and Thermally Stable Composite which makes it 70 per cent more elastic than polycarbonates with glass. This makes its parts maintain its performance despite thermal expansion during hot or humid temperatures.

The same parts also reduce distortion, chromatic aberration, and brightness in the frame’s edges too.

Capturing stunning images is not just a privilege for those who have DSLR Cameras. Therefore, Canon is making sure that everyone gets a shot in taking great pictures by announcing the addition of the Powershot G5 X, the Powershot G9 X and the EOS M10 to their commendable rosters of compact digital cameras.
 

Sporting a sleek black body, the Canon Powershot G5 X has a built-in 2.36-million-dot electronic viewfinder that makes taking photos and tracking moving subjects easier. It also has a variable angle touchscreen LCD which works well for worm’s eye or bird’s eye view images. The clear captured via this new Canon compact camera are made possible by its 24 mm, 4.2x Optical Zoom Lens which has a focal length of 8.8 – 36.8 mm (35 mm equivalent: 24 – 100 mm).
 

The Powershot G5 X has a maximum f/number of f/1.8-f/2.8 and its Auto ND Filter is the key to immortalizing amazing bokeh and beautiful night light trails on frame. On a fully charged battery,

Gone are the days when only bulky and sophisticated equipment are capable of capturing perfect shots. Now, even devices that fit in your hands can do the trick. Smart phones have become a game changer when it comes to video recording because you can pull it out anytime. But to maximize its capability, you should consider having the DJI Osmo Handheld 4K Video Camera.

DJI Osmo Features

While it is not the first handheld camera ever, it is peerless in terms of its stabilization technology for devices of its kind. With a three-axis gimbal, it is efficient in eliminating shakes in three directions. This results into undisturbed and well-focused shots even if your hand shakes while handling the Osmo. Match that with its 4K Video capability of up to 30 frames per second to record crisp videos every time.
 

You can also choose from its four panorama modes: automatic, manual, selfie, and sphere. The Osmo is capable of superb time capture function too. Long exposure shots are also possible

There must have been countless enthusiasts who asked the photography gods if it is possible to use their full-frame lens into a mirrorless camera body. Now, this is possible with the creation of the Metabones Speed Boosters. These lens adapters fit well onto the lenses and guarantee an increase in angle of view and MTF.

Inspiration behind the product

The idea of focal reducers like the speed booster has been around since the late 19^th century. However, its application is often limited to non-general functions such as in telescopes. In addition, teleconverters were also invented to increase a camera’s focal length. As DSLR cameras were developed, the concept of an inverse teleconverter has played in the minds of several experts.

The invention of mirrorless cameras completed the equation. From there, optical engineer Brian Caldwell and opto-mechanic Wilfried Bittner collaborated to blend all these concepts into one item. With more than 60 years of combined experience in optics and photography,
