I have been using Xperia phones for years now. It is a real niche phone, and still, every new model manages to surprise me. This summer I took the Xperia 1 VIII to Greenland.

Sony 16-35 GM II : The Perfect Wide Angle Lens?
Did you know that the original Sony 16-35 GM was released more than 6 years ago? That’s right: SIX years! It was originally announced May 17, 2017. Either time flies or I am getting old. Probably both. Nevertheless it’s great to see Sony upgrading all the older lens designs. Earlier it was the 70-200 GM II and the 24-70 GM II (which are both excellent new lenses) and now it’s finally time for the new 16-35 GM II. And the question is: Is this is something to be excited about o

The new A7RV for me as a Landscape Photographer
And so it’s finally here: the long awaited Sony A7RV. With the A7RIV announcement in 2019, it’s more than 3 years later. The A7RIV has been my main camera for my photos. But I have to say: With the many new Sony cameras that did came out in between (A7IV, A1, A7SIII etc), the body and functionality of the A7RIV started to feel a bit ‘old’. I was occasionally shooting with the A1 and was enjoying that more, mainly because of all the updates, the simpler menu, the speed, and si
