Third-Party Lenses

Third-Party Lenses

Author: B&H Photo & Video January 12, 2017 Duration: 44:32

This week's episode of the B&H Photography Podcast is on third-party lenses and the alternatives to the "glass" produced by the major camera manufacturers. From high-end optics to affordable knock-offs to respected lens makers, such as Tamron and Tokina, we will discuss what is new, what is available, and for what type of shooter these lenses may be the right choice. Joining us is photographer, Product Specialist, and B&H trainer extraordinaire Levi Tenenbaum. In the first half of the program, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of third-party lenses and why we are seeing an uptick in their numbers. After a short break, we return with a detailed list of the companies currently producing third-party lenses for DSLR and mirrorless cameras, and what you can expect from each one.

Guest: Levi Tenenbaum
