Jan Erik Waider Photographs the Stillness Up North in Arctic Silence

Hamburg-based Jan Erik Waider is a photographer captivated by the northernmost parts of the globe. These areas have been captivating travelers since time immemorial, and the photographers of today continue to show the rest of us why. Arctic Silence, one of his projects born out of expeditions throughout the Nordic landscapes, is one such compelling example. Through the stillness of the waters and the ghostly fog enveloping the jagged icebergs, one can almost imagine -- and feel, even -- the eerie mood that surrounded Jan as he took these photographs.

But Rokinon has brought out autofocus abilities with the Rokinon 35mm f2.8 FE--making this the company's first autofocusing lens for the Sony full frame E mount system. Indeed, it fills a niche of the photography market that is not really saturated: a place for good, affordable lenses of the Sony FE camera space.
