2020 Gear in Review: Bests and Busts

The Lensrentals Podcast

See ya later 2020! Ryan, Roger, Ally, and Zach reflect on the best and worst gear they interacted with from 2020. Both video and photo gear are covered along with lighting, VR, mics and more! We cover a lot of ground ranging from delightfully intuitive design to the item that made Roger say, “Why did you bother? No one cares.”
