Extract from an article for @vice about my strange assignment in the Tibetan frontier mountains written by Stuart Brumfitt: « By the time Laporte was half way up a the mountain, there were no 4x4s or monks to be seen. For a time, things looked bleak. “The oxygen was already low there and each move was exhausting” says Laporte. « We arrived at the summit, which was covered in snow and the explorer told me that he forgot the snow rackets, so we walked together in the deep snow while he was trying to break into every little wooden shack to find a place to crash ». They eventually found a hut that was packed full of snow and camped out for the night. “All through the night, I had to put my face on the wet, cold floor, so as not to inhale smoke from the fire we’d made to stay warm. I put all my stuff to dry near the fire, then the day after, my shoes were melted and I had to finish the trip with holes in my soles.” » 🇨🇳 2016

Review: Tamron SP 35mm F1.4 Di USD (A Great 35mm for Portraits)
Though the Tamron SP 35mm f1.4 Di USD is designed for DSLRs first and foremost, it's a wonderful lens. I say this because I personally feel like the design of an otherwise positively phenomenal lens was wasted on a DSLR. If this were made for Sony E mount, Canon RF, Leica L moun…
