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.

Introduction

We’ve seen a lot of modern lenses at budget-friendly prices, often offering surprisingly good value for money. But $99* for a full-frame 85mm f/1.8? That’s the price of TTArtisan’s latest lens, and it may set a new record for affordability in this category. It’s part of their new, most budget-friendly NEO series, and given TTArtisan’s track record of delivering relatively good optical quality in solidly built bodies, I’m really intrigued to see what this lens can do. Let’s take a closer look.

• TTArtisan has a time-limited $ 5-off offer, which brings the price to $94 (plus limited-time free shipping on orders over $84)
