In this episode he explores a variety of sensors sizes so you can make an informed choice on an upgrade—or keep the camera you already own and use your cash to invest in better glass instead.

Tamron just introduced the 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD fast-aperture, ultra-wideangle zoom lens for the Fujifilm X-Mount, and Shutterbug was able to take it for an extended spin.
