The post Sony Unveils Three Compact Prime Lenses for E-Mount Cameras appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Jaymes Dempsey.

The post 10 Tips for Beautiful Black and White Headshots appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by John McIntire.

Such is the case with the Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD, and this excellent video review takes a look at how the lens performs in the real world.
