Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD G2
The 28-75mm F2.8 G2 is the successor of the 28-75mm F/2.8 Di III RXD (Model A036), a popular zoom lens that has earned high evaluation worldwide. It reflects the fruits of continuous evolution and customer-focused refinement. Retaining the well-received compact size of its predecessor, the new 28-75mm F2.8 G2 incorporates a new optical construction based on a design that has been revamped to enhance imaging performance and its features are compatible with the latest model digital cameras that offer increased resolution. The AF drive, TAMRON’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism, is adopted to deliver higher autofocus speed with greater precision. With the MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.18m (7.1 in) at the wide end and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2.7, the lens boasts advanced close-up shooting performance. Additionally, it features a new design in the pursuit of enhanced operability and ergonomic texture.
TAMRON pioneered the category of compact fast-aperture standard zoom lenses for mirrorless cameras and the new 28-75mm F2.8 G2 truly is a next-generation lens for everyday use.

The Laowa FF II Argus 35mm f/0.95 from Venus Optics Laowa is a lens to get excited about if you like fast glass and I can’t wait to see how it performs. The specs leaked a few days ago here, but we haven’t gotten a good look at the lens until now. It does look quite large on a Sony body, but the aperture click/clickless switch looks very nice and I hope more manufacturers include one going forward since clickless apertures are kind of a pain for photographers.

Today only you can save 30% on the excellent Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.4 at B&H Photo. Viltrox lenses aren’t perfect, but they focus quickly and many find the way they render a subject very appealing and at this price point they are worth a try even if you have a full-frame camera to put them on.

It’s pretty common knowledge that focused light sources like lasers can damage your sensor along with shooting intense light sources like the Sun with a telephoto lens, but Sony has now put out an official statement in relation to lasers:
Can the camera image sensor be damaged by laser?
Do not directly expose the Lens to beams such as laser beams. This may cause damage to the image sensor and cause the camera to malfunction.Note: In either outdoor or indoor environment when there is a laser display, tendency of direct or indirect (laser beam bounce from reflective object) damage to the camera CMOS Sensor is still very high. – Sony
I hope manufactures are able to overcome these limitations in the future because lasers can look really cool in photos, but it’s probably not the best idea to risk thousands of dollars of equipment just to get a shot unless you’re being very well compensated for the high risk.
