Lens review: Thypoch Simera f/1.4 28mm E-mount

To be completely honest when I was offered this lens to review, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. I knew it was a completely manual lens and I was fine with that. I have been using Lensbaby lenses for years now. But I didn't think the Simera was a 'creative' lens as such. Being 28mm it is more of a wide-angle lens, but it doesn't really behave like a wide-angle like my Sony 16-35mm. Still I totally enjoyed my time playing with this lens, the more I used it the more confident and comfortable I became.

Camera bag review: Peak Design 15L Everyday Tote

I really wanted to love this tote. It’s comfortable, stylish and holds plenty. But I think perhaps it’s a little too deep and the top opening is not wide enough for easy access. If the camera bag contents were more accessible, and the pockets in the computer compartment were less restrictive, this would be the perfect everyday photography tote. However, I do love the compartments and magnetic closures.
