Just introduced, the compact Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD zoom for Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras has an affordable ($549) price tag. It’s eighth in the series of Tamron lenses made specifically for Sony E-Mount cameras, and it’s the world's smallest and lightest telezoom in its class.

Back in January I reviewed Nikon's tiny Z50 mirrorless camera, an APS-C sensor format model targeted at budget-conscious photographers or those buying their first interchangeable lens digital camera.

Shooting landscapes with a telephoto lens is a challenging yet rewarding experience.

On the other hand, if you make a mistake in composing a scene with a long lens, it can ruin the image.

We love lenses, especially lenses we can buy at a loveable price. Here are five lenses that are high quality and inexpensive.
