  • One of the most shocking announcements, however, was for an entirely new IP named ‘Starfield’: what Bethesda director Todd Howard called “our next-generation, single-player epic”. Starfield will be a brand-new single-player RPG from the developer behind the Fallout and Elder Scrolls games. With details so thin on the ground, and a major Fallout release coming later this year, the earliest we’d expect to see a Starfield game would be 2019, though it could easily be later.

  • Best portrait lenses for Canon DSLRsCanon’s newest 85mm lens combines a super-fast f/1.4 aperture rating with image stabilization, making it somewhat unique on the market. It’s our preferred own-brand Canon lens for portraiture on APS-C format DSLRs, and incredibly good value at the price. As such, it’s rather cheaper to buy but it’s still significantly more expensive than the Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens. The optical design is much more complex than the old Canon 50mm f/1.4 and 85mm f/1.8 lenses. Over

  • According to Mindfactory.de, which we’ve seen figures from in the past, Intel captured 55% of its processor sales in June 2018, compared to 45% for AMD. Of the Ryzen 2nd Generation chips, the Ryzen 7 2700X put in a strong showing – it was the second-best processor for AMD in terms of sales. Neither of those offerings could hold a candle to Intel’s top dog, however: the mighty Core i7-8700K.

Contrast is excellent throughout the entire zoom range, even when shooting wide
