![]() Does it have its limitations? Well, let’s see… I can’t say enough good things about this little wonder. That brings us to the Sirui T-025X carbon fiber tripod. Also, carbon fiber tripods support heavier loads, compared with metal tripods of the same or similar size and design. And, owing to its lighter weight, carbon fiber is more practical than either wood or metal when it comes to travel photography. What’s more, carbon fiber is much more user-friendly than metal under extreme temperatures. Carbon fiber brings us vibration-dampening tripods nearly on a par with wood tripods. But with the use of carbon-fiber technology, the picture has changed. There was a time when we wouldn’t have put much stock in a lightweight tripod, especially one with 5 leg sections. ![]() The lens is targeted at full-frame cameras, but is also compatible with APS-C (cropped) sensor D-SLRs, upon which you’d be working with around a 36-105mm equivalent focal length, depending on camera model.ĬLICK ON THIS LINK TO READ THE COMPLETE PUBLISHED REVIEW ONLINE: TAMRON 24-70mm The image-stabilized Tamron 24-70mm F/2.8 VC is available for D-SLRs from Canon (tested on a Canon EOS 5D) and Nikon (also for Sony sans built-in stabilization). Selling for $1299, it’s not cheap, although less expensive than comparable OEM lenses. And to sweeten the pot, we’ve seen more and more fast lenses with built-in image stabilization, which gets you even more low light and camera-shake-free capability.Įnter Tamron’s new SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD Model A007. Known as “fast” lenses, constant aperture zooms are pricier and bulkier than their variable-aperture counterparts. This might make the difference between being able to hand hold or not when zooming in, and may indeed force the use of higher ISOs. The difference between a “constant” aperture zoom and other standard zooms is that when you increase the focal length on the standard zoom the maximum aperture becomes smaller.
