Is your camera lens on this list?
Hello Reader,
I have some interesting information today that I haven't seen shared before.
One of my contacts at the largest camera retailer in North America was able to share their internal sales rankings for lenses and cameras for all of the major camera brands.
The data reveals interesting information and curious trends, such as that the best-selling lens isn't made by Canon, Sony, Fuji, or Nikon. It's a 3rd party lens!
Then there is the curious fixation that Canon shooters seem to have with a particular focal length. An obsession not shared by other brands.
I thought all of it was quite fascinating, and it's the kind of data I have never seen shared on any other photography website. Check out the lists and my commentary at the links below.
How does your lens and camera kit compare?
I also want to thank all the people that emailed me a few weeks ago when I mentioned that I was heading to Australia this month. I had some wonderful location recommendations. I couldn't be more excited for this trip. In the next email I'll send you my packing list so you can see what I'm taking for three weeks of wildlife photography.
Cheers,
Dan

Hello Reader, Gura Gear's camera bags are extremely popular among nature and wildlife photographers. I've often encountered entire groups using all the Kiboko backpacks. The US brand has just introduced the new Mara duffel bags, made from the same ultralight materials as their camera bags and designed as the perfect global travel companion for the Kiboko. I was given exclusive first access to the Mara bags, and I am now bringing you my in-depth review at the link below. >> Gura Gear Mara...
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...
