This video gives a short history of how flash came about and how grateful we can be for the persistence of Harold “Doc” Edgerton.

The Sigma 85mm Art lens may have been one of the most hyped lenses in modern photography history, and it's lived up to that hype with a reputation for sharp, contrasty images, even at wide apertures. And today only, you can get the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art lens for $350 off.

Following on from the impressive 28-75mm f/2.8 Sony FE-mount lens that Tamron released earlier this year, rumors are circulating that the Japanese lens manufacturer is planning to launch a brand new 70-200mm f/2.8 in early 2019.
