To start off let me give you a quick background into where I started in photography and then I can let you know what I thought of the Sirui lenses and kit that I got to test out. I started on Instagram about 5 ½ years ago with an iPhone 5, like most people, and

I like tripods. In particular I like big tripods. Big and heavy tripods. The reality though is that the vast majority of photographers don’t like tripods. They really don’t like big tripods and they positively hate big and heavy tripods. So when photographers eventually do get round to investing in a tripod they invariably buy

I’m going to keep this article short, sweet and to the point and I know what the question on everyone’s mind is – what do you get in a camera that costs as much as a 3-series BMW? And that’s without lenses, by the way. The folks over at Sunshine Co (Hasselblad Agent for SA)

With the growing megapixel count, frame rate and processing power of cameras as well as the ability to shoot 4K video, the biggest problem with day to day shooting lately has not been the processing of the data, but rather where to put all of the data… and how quickly said data gets to and

Review by Emil von Maltitz from Limephoto First impressions are lasting apparently. That certainly seems to be the case with the SIRUI R-5241XL tripod that I was loaned by SIRUI South Africa towards the end of 2015. As soon as I received it I was gobsmacked by the size of the carbon-fibre behemoth. A casual observer could

Backpacking with camera gear is an adventure in itself, never mind the part where you are adventuring in a foreign land. You have to make sure that you have the right gear and most importantly, the light gear for the job. With that in mind, I decided that I would bring my ultra-light Fuji X-T1

Review by Nic Redelinghuys from The Pixel Revelation I recently went on a photographic journey to the tropical island of Zanzibar where I planned on capturing some of the beautiful scenery. Obviously a tripod will be essential for long exposure and landscape photography. Based on previous expeditions, I felt that my current aluminium tripod was just going to
