Hello Reader,
A few weeks ago, I posted a review of the new Shimoda Urban Explore camera pack.
I had a lot of good things to say about it, not least because they hit a much lower price point than they had with their previous bags.
Moreover, they also offer a 25% discount during the Kickstarter campaign–but this ends in just a few hours.
Shimoda bags have been incredibly popular among my readers, but sometimes, their price has been a barrier. If that were the case, this new bag and the huge discount would be a great way to join the Shimoda gang.
The Kickstarter was funded immediately, and the bags are already in production. It's Shimoda's 4th Kickstarter, so they know what they're doing.
I'm happy to answer questions about the bag if you consider it. Just reply to this email quickly because there isn't much time left before the Kickstarter ends.
Cheers

Sony 300mm f/2.8 = 1.4x Teleconverter Hello Reader, I have owned the Sony 300mm f/2.8 GM lens for around 12 months. It sits on my shelf amongst my other Sony, Canon, Nikon, and Fujifilm lenses, giving me a great perspective on its performance. This is a lens designed for sports and wildlife photographers. And yet, nobody would say 300mm is enough focal length for serious shooting of either genre. Why the dichotomy? Focal length flexibility is the key. With teleconverters, you have: 300mm...
Hello Reader, Peak Design has been one of my go-to brands for camera-carrying solutions in the past decade or so. I have reviewed every bag they've ever made. Backpacks, camera straps, and sling bags have always been their thing, but many people wondered if they'd ever create a carry-on roller. Today is that day. The new Roller Pro uses an ultra-slim carbon telescoping handle to minimize intrusion into the bag's main compartment, and a new made-to-fit XL Camera Cube allows photographers to...
