Laowa AF 200mm F2 C-Dreamer Review
What an interesting year! Earlier this year, when reviewing the Sigma 200mm F2 OS SPORT, I marveled that it had been so long since we had seen a new 200mm F2 lens, and even more so that Sigma had beaten…

Sony a7V Review
2025 has proved to be a very competitive year for mid-level cameras. Earlier this year, I reviewed the very impressive Nikon Z5 II, which is a remarkably complete camera at a budget price point. More recently I reviewed what stands…
Canon RF 50mm F1.4L VCM Review

Viltrox Pro AF 85mm F1.4 Z-mount Review
Viltrox’s full frame jump into their “Pro” series took off with a bang in spring of 2025 with the release of the Pro AF 85mm F1.4, a lens that I gave a very positive review. They followed that up the…
