TTArtisan AF 27mm F2.8 Lens Review: Better Than We Expected

https://www.thephoblographer.com/2023/08/11/ttartisan-af-27mm-f2-8-lens-review-better-than-we-expected/
I always enjoy the challenge that prime lenses throw at me. Forcing me to think and move creatively rather than zooming in and out, they make me re-imagine scenes in multiple ways. I honestly didn't know that the TTArtisan AF 27mm lens was designed for APS-C cameras - a segment I've avoided for over a decade now. But during my testing, I've found it to be a handy everyday lens that can produce very useful results. If you're an APS-C camera user looking for a cost-effective and reliable street and outdoor photography lens, this one is worth a go.

https://www.thephoblographer.com/2023/08/08/the-tamron-70-180mm-f2-8-g2-adds-a-much-needed-feature/
Today, Tamron is announcing the development of the Tamron 70-180mm f2.8 G2 lens. The previous version came up a bit short in several ways, as we stated in our review. And the new one seems like a minor update overall until you really look underneath the surface of things. We're not talking about the optics, which Tamron says have been upgraded. But instead, there are much more important updates.

Why should you post in the Photographic Society?

Well, let's put that down in the shortest way possible. The other photo-related communities ask for your photos and stories along. Such posts are welcome here too but the focus of this virtual group is to discuss our thoughts about Photography itself. For instance, talk about equipment, ask for advice, give criticism, and share photo news, monetizing opportunities, concepts, found photographs, techniques, stock agencies, experience in the field, photo NFTs, etc. The list is long.

Did you get the idea? If yes, what are you waiting for? ;) Start posting today! :)

Our mission is to make this community on HIVE more popular and potentially attract Twitter users to join the platform, so please follow us on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/photosochive

We share manually selected posts on Twitter! But that's not all. On Twitter we search for other photographers and photo lovers over there, to appreciate and share, and admire their work. There are other plans too, for other initiatives. Both here and on Twitter. Researching other social networks is in progress as well.

Can we support each other, sharing the same passion? The future will show that!

This post is 100% Power Up.
