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…

8 months ago I gave a glowing review of the Fuji X-mount version of the Viltrox Pro AF 75mm F1.2.  It was a stunningly good lens that managed to deliver next level improvements to the build and optics. I knew…

In January 2021 I released my review of this lens for Sony E-mount cameras. At the time, no Tamron lenses were available on Fuji X-mount, and I spoke in my conclusion about how a lens like the Tamron 17-70mm F2.8…
Powerzoom lenses are always a bit of the oddball in the room – caught between video and photography. The PowerZoom function is most reminiscent of the focus on camcorders or similar video cameras, but the cameras that a PZ lens…

Sony just keeps hitting one home run after another. Their newest lens – the Sony FE 70-200mm F4 Macro G OSS II (or SEL70200G II) – is one of the most versatile telephoto lenses I’ve ever used. Perhaps that’s why…

A prime lens with a maximum aperture of F3.5 rarely gets anyone excited, but the rules change when you are talking about a compact lens with an angle of view of 120°! The Fujinon XF 8mm F3.5 R WR is…

The Fujifilm X-S10 was one of my favorite Fuji cameras of the previous generation. I gave it a positive review when it was released roughly 2.5 years ago as I liked the balance of bringing some of the best features…
In 2022 Fuji began to really open up their platform to third party development, and that has opened a floodgate of both new and “ported” lenses from Tamron, Sigma, Samyang, Viltrox, and more. It was that move along with the…
