Hello Alpha Family,What is your favorite lens and do you still own it?My favorite lens off all time has to be FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS (SEL90M28G) it's the sharpest and most fun to shot with, I had it back in 2017 with Alpha 6000 (a6000) and it was a...

When I was starting out in photography I would go brave the cold of an icy winter to get a fun photo in the snow, I would read blogs about photography daily and go to strobist meetups to practice my off-camera lighting. I would take my camera everywh...
My impressions are very good after a year of using the Sony a7 IV and the Sony 35mm f1.4 GM. Amazing combo for weddings. Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM – the best 35mm lens I have ever used. It's super sharp, super fast when wide open. The contrast is outstandin...
