I’ll have to confess that it is a little bit surprising to be reviewing a second 24mm lens in Sigma’s new iSeries…just seven months after I reviewed the first one! I published my review of the Sigma 24mm F3.5 DG…
I’ve noted in many previous Canon RF mount reviews that the new RF mount seems to have really unlocked a new wave of creativity from Canon. Historically Canon has been a very conservative company that could be relied on to…

Macro seems to be the new thing among the smaller, boutique brands coming out of China. The TTArtisan 40mm F2.8 1:1 Macro (which we’ll call the TTArtisan 40M for brevity) is the second such 1:1 macro lens that has come…

Most people’s impression of “kit lenses” are that they are cheap, plasticky lens that camera makers bundle with cameras so that new owners at least have something to take pictures with. You can throw that impression out the window with…
My first experience with a fisheye was actually with another TTArtisans lens, in this case the TTArtisans 11mm F2.8 Fisheye I reviewed in 2020. Fisheye lenses are unique and far from traditional, as typically we are looking for minimal distortion…
I was a bit surprised in early 2019 when Sony announced and released the Sony a6400 APS-C mirrorless camera. Many of us expected Sony to continue moving upscale with an a6500 replacement, but I concluded in my review of the…
