My name is Frank Jackson. My first photography job was in 1975 as a staff photographer for New York City Summer Work Program; it was all Disco Music, Sun Dresses, Music Festivals, and Block Parties that went on till the next day.
I moved to Los Angeles in 1976 to work for IBM for three years; I quit IBM and started photographing for an architect after showing a portfolio of some houses with my 4x5 camera. . thephoblographer.com

The FE 24-50mm f/2. 8 G is designed for Sony Alpha full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras, but it also works with APS-C sensor cameras (with an effective focal length of 36-75mm due to the 1. 5x crop factor).
The new Laowa 10mm f2. 8 Zero Distortion lens is the latest option coming from the company for photographers. And it's doing something that the Japanese manufacturers haven't been doing: delivering a claim of zero distortion at such a wide angle.
