Over the past 12 months, Sony has had some massive camera announcements, along with a slew of important new lenses for their ever-expanding E-mount mirrorless system.

Third-party lenses—those made by a brand other than the camera manufacturer—present a wide variety of creative opportunities and fiscal benefits.

Photographic art and style are both subjective topics about which many of us get passionate.
