January 3, 2025 Sirui Aurora vs Sigma DN 85mm F1.4

Sirui’s new Aurora series of full frame lenses has kicked off with the well received Aurora 85mm F1.4. I was interested in doing some direct comparisons with existing options.  The most logical comparison is the Samyang AF 85mm F1.4 Series II lens, but since I don’t have that one on hand, I’m doing a comparison […] [Read more...]

December 20, 2024 Viltrox AF 35mm F1.7 X-mount Gallery

We now have a name for Viltrox’s series of small, lightweight, and yet surprisingly high performing lenses – the “Air” Series. We’ve seen 20mm F2.8 and 40mm F2.4 full frame lenses, a really excellent 56mm F1.7 APS-C lens, and now a companion to that lens in the form of the new Viltrox AF 35mm F1.7. [Read more...]

December 17, 2024 Laowa Tilt/Shift 55mm F2.8 Macro Gallery

Tilt/Shift lenses are very complicated instruments, and Laowa has worked on making everything even more complicated by making their newest lens a macro lens, too. There’s no question that the new T/S 55mm F2.8 is big (168.55mm or 6.63″), heavy (1345g or 47.5oz), and expensive ($1249 USD), but it is also one of the fi [Read more...]

December 6, 2024 Sirui Aurora 85mm F1.4 AF Gallery

Just a few years ago, I had never reviewed a Sirui lens. I had reviewed a few tripods from the company, but I didn’t think of them as a lensmaker. They then approached me about covering a few of their cine lenses, and while that isn’t my forte, I agreed to do so out of […] [Read more...]

December 2, 2024 Yongnuo YN 33mm F1.4 DA DSM WL Pro Gallery

I’m back with another Yongnuo (YN) review. I was interested in covering their most recent lens on the strength of what I’ve seen from the 11mm F1.8 WL Pro I’ reviewed on Sony and the 50mm F1.8 DSM Pro that I reviewed on Fuji. 33mm is a very important focal length on APS-C, giving you […] [Read more...]
