August 2007

On the Cover
This month our focus is on optical options, and we cover everything from fast super zooms to wides and macros with our extensive lens reports. We also have a buyer's guide roundup on which camera backpacks would be your best bet for travel and trail. In addition, we have a special tribute to Monte Zucker, our beloved master portrait photographer.
