Tuesday, 29 March 2016. LOW BUDGET LENSES : Wide Angle Adapters. This is where your wide angle lens becomes especially useful. Most people using an interchangeable lens system have a 'Kit Lens' which will come out to between 14mm-16mm (depending on brand etc) which is a fairly wide. However not always wide enough. Even at the shortest focal length I've sometimes struggled to have a wide enough angle to get my shot. SLASHER HOUSE 2 : 14mm f/2.5 with Adapter. ITS ALSO A MACRO LENS. You will certainly get b...

Jul 21, 2015. Literally) Building a better frame for mobile journalism. So you’ve got your phone or tablet. You’ve downloaded the $38 in apps that you need to be an effective mobile journalist. You’ve ordered your iRig Pre. Your lav mic, your wireless receivers. But you have a problem. 1) The thinner the case, the less space you have to add stuff on. 2) The more stuff you need, the bulkier the case needs to be (running the risk of making something mobile un-mobile).
