Introduction

One thing photographers never seem to have enough of is a really good camera bag or backpack. There is always something missing, and we’re always looking for that ultimate bag that does everything right.

I’m not sure if such a thing exists, but the Leofoto 25L All-in-One Backpack might come pretty close. Designed with photographers, commuters, and travelers in mind, Leofoto promises rugged protection, smart organization, and everyday versatility. In this review, we’ll take a closer look at what it has to offer.

Introduction

TTArtisan has become one of the better-known Chinese lens manufacturers, offering aggressively priced lenses that often skip some of the more advanced features and exotic glass, while still delivering relatively good optical quality.

Their recent budget-friendly NEO series has taken this concept one step further by leaving out even more features, while setting some impressive price records. I reviewed their 85mm f/1.8 NEO not long ago and was impressed by how much lens you get for just $84, so I decided to take a look at their 50mm f/1.8 NEO as well.

A 50mm is a more versatile focal length, making it suitable for everything from everyday photography and travel to street photography, environmental portraits, food photography, and landscapes.

So, let’s see what we get for those $89.

I tested this lens on a 33MP Sony A7C II.

Introduction

Many photographers are familiar with high-end tripod brands like Gitzo and Really Right Stuff, but are we always willing to pay the premium that comes with their reputation? Over the last few years, Leofoto has established itself as a serious alternative, producing tripods that can match—or at least come very close to—the performance of the established brands.

In this review, I take a look at one of Leofoto’s flagship models, the flat-apex, center-column-free travel and field tripod, the LS-324CPRO.
