SJMitch and Beanies Pawtraits travelled to Birmingham NEC for what was once “Focus on imaging” and is now “The Photography show”- run by Future publishing. I was eager to see Nikons D4S and try out a few bits of tech on my wishlist.
We had a great time trying out lenses from Sigma and Tamron and I left with a lighter wallet, a heavier bag and a slightly disgruntled accountant. SJ Mitch now shoots with a Di700 a powerful, simple and according to the retailer of said purchase sexy flashgun- I’ve got to admit it’s a stunner!
I was in awe with Eizos 4K monitor, which they tell me is years old and had been on loan to a few of the Soho based VFX houses. I was intrigued by Panasonics Lumix DMC-GH4 with it’s reasonable price tag and 4K recording capabilities. And I was refreshed by the open garden section which was there to promote the International Garden Photographer Of The Year competition. Overall I was most impressed Tamron, I’ve had my eyes on their telephotos with VC and their very sharp Macros for quite sometime, I imagine some new glass can’t be too far off!
