Just posted: Lensbaby Composer Pro/Sweet 35 quick review
Just posted: our quick review of the Lensbaby Composer Pro and Sweet 35 optic. Lensbaby has never played by conventional photographic rules. Long a manufacturer of quirky, low cost (and distinctly 'lo-fi') optical accessories, its product line has evolved to include more 'serious' products. The recently launched Lensbaby Composer Pro and Sweet 35 optic promise better build-quality, better exposure control and better glass than previous offerings, and as such, we were keen to try them out. So has Lensbaby lost sight of its grungy, lo-fi beginnings, or can these new products breathe new life into the concept and introduce Lensbaby to a more 'serious' audience? Read our quick review to find out.

The LowePro PhotoSport Outdoor is a camera pack for photographers who also need a well-designed daypack for hiking and other outdoor use. If that sounds like you, the PhotoSport Outdoor may be a great choice, but as with any hybrid product, there are a few tradeoffs.
The Sony a7C II refreshes the compact full-frame with a 33MP sensor, the addition of a front control dial, a dedicated 'AI' processor, 10-bit 4K/60p video and more. It's a definite improvement, but it helps if you value its compact form.
Why is the Peak Design Everyday Backpack so widely used? A snazzy design? Exceptional utility? A combination of both? After testing one, it's clear why this bag deserves every accolade it's received.
