Tamron Teases a Zoom Lens Coming Soon

By Louis Ferreira | Published: May 28, 2020

It looks like Tamron has a new zoom lens coming for Sony E-mount. It doesn’t look like it will be longer than the 70-180mm. Maybe this will be a Sony 24-105mm f/4 competitor?

Sony a7SII ISS Footage and America’s Return to Space Flight

The space program has always been a point of pride as a Floridian and I do my best to attend every significant launch I can, like Falcon Heavy, but sadly there is no good way to video the launch in person thanks to COVID-19. So since I haven’t covered the Sony a7SII on the ISS and you might not be aware of the camera’s existence I figured I would share the videos from it and about it below, in addition, to reminding everyone to watch America’s return to space flight.

Hopefully, the weather holds and Space X is able to execute a flawless trip to the ISS today. If you’re interested in watching live Space X does a very good job covering their launches and I have also included the video below.
