 I was excited about the proof of concept of the Pocket 3 action camera from gimbal experts Feiyu for its ability to quickly mount anywhere magnetically, be remotely controlled, and having up to 4K60 video capture. I instantly saw…
2020 was a weird year.  For everyone.  It was a weird year for lens reviewers as well, though one of the highlights of 2020 was the release of Tamron’s 70-180mm F2.8 VXD (which I reviewed here).  It was…

Because I had relatively brief review period in which I was on the road nearly continually, I didn’t initially have a chance to do a portrait session with the incredibly new Viltrox Pro AF 27mm F1.2 STM. I definitely wanted…
Pergear released a 14mm F2.8 wide angle prime for full frame cameras a few years ago, and while it was nicely sharp, there were some areas that could be improved. But Pergear is back with a second attempt that has…

For the second time in about a month, I am working on a review of a lens that was designed on full frame but is being ported over to the APS-C only Fuji X-mount. Tamron determined that its full frame…

When I completed my review of the Sigma 23mm F1.4 DC DN on Sony E-mount several months ago, I noted that I really anticipated its release on Fuji X-mount for the simple reason that it felt like it was sharp…

I was in a press briefing regarding this lens when the Sony rep said something that resonated with me. He noted with today’s high resolution bodies (I currently do my Sony reviews on the 61MP a7RV body) that getting length…

I completely raved over Viltrox’s amazing Pro AF 75mm F1.2 lens for Fuji at the end of 2022. It delivered pro-grade build, good autofocus (that got better via firmware updates), and one of the finest optical performances I had seen…

Fuji’s move to the 40MP resolution point on some of their higher end cameras has been pretty punishing on many of their existing lenses, but it also really makes it clear which lenses are exceptional. I reviewed one such lens…

I’ve been spending time with Tamron’s new Fuji X-mount versions of some of their popular lenses. That includes the 11-20mm F2.8 RXD (my review here) and 17-70mm F2.8 VC RXD lenses (my review here). Those lenses make a lot of…
