    Sony has announced the E 20mm F2.8 – a moderately wide-angle pancake prime lens for its NEX cameras. The moderately-fast E-mount pancake will offer a 30mm equivalent field of view and adds another compact lens option for NEX shooters. It will be available in April for around $ 350. Sony has also said it will offer its video-targeted 18-200mm OSS F3.5-6.3 power zoom lens as a standalone product. Previously only available bundled with the NEX-VG30 camcorder, it becomes the company’s third E-mount 18-200mm superzoom and will cost around $ 1200.

  • Do we value cameras as tools or objects? New exhibition asks the question

    image-4.jpeg

    Do we value cameras for their form, or their function? An exhibition in Philadelphia which features hundreds of camera sculptures made from a range of different materials aims to examine this question. ‘Reach Ruin’, which is showing at The Fabric Workshop in Philadelphia includes several sculptures of cameras created from carved stone, glass, chalk and sand. According to the artist, Daniel Arsham, as well as being a photographic tool, ‘many of us that use photography have a relationship with the object. If you want, call it a fetish’. Click through for more information and images from the exhibition.
