Sony’s most recent camera seems to be specifically targeted at the Vlogging and Selfie crowd with a revised physical design of the screen that allows it to tilt up into a forward facing position. The Sony a6400 also inherits some…
A few months back I reviewed the newest Fujinon lens in the Fuji “trinity” of fast, F2.8 zoom lenses. That lens (the XF 8-16mm F2.8 WR) makes up the wide end of the spectrum while the XF 50-140mm F2.8 OS…
Irix made their mark with a bevy of well-received wide angle lenses, including a super-wide-angle 11mm F4 lens along with a 15mm F2.4 that I reviewed last year. Their most recent lens release has set their sites in a different…
The original idea behind mirrorless cameras was they would be smaller, lighter alternatives to DSLRs due to the differences in technology while providing similar levels of optical performance. As I’ve noted in many subsequent reviews this idea is often lost,…
Sigma has produced perhaps more lenses than anyone over the past five years, but few of them are as important as the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 OS | Sport. Not only does this complete Sigma’s “trinity” of fast aperture zooms (14-24mm…

The Zeiss Batis Distagon 40mm F2 CF is the newest and perhaps most unique member of the Batis family of lenses for Sony FE. It joins the 18mm, 25mm, 85mm, and 135mm lenses as the “normal” focal length but also…
My next Fuji project is the brand-new Fujinon XF 8-16mm F2.8 R lens – a super wide angle zoom with a large maximum aperture. This lens one-ups the F4 competitors that Sigma, Sony, and Canon offer with an F2.8 version…
The Venus Optics Laowa 10-18mm F4.5-5.6 Ultra-Wide Zoom is an extreme instrument, though it may look all small and innocent. This is a full frame zoom lens designed for Sony FE that covers an incredible 130 degree field of view,…
Canon has FINALLY released a full frame mirrorless camera – the Canon EOS R. They have also launched a new lens mount – the RF. While many people advocated for Canon to retain the EF mount, early development for the…

Sigma has pushed the boundaries yet again! The 150-600mm affordable super-telephoto lenses have proven extremely popular, but Sigma has pushed things even further by adding an additional crucial 90mm to the focal length, dramatically increasing the potential of what you…
I’ve just started a brand new partnership with FUJIFilm where I will start to spend some time reviewing some of their products, and I’ve started with the newest and brightest – their X-T3 Flagship camera body and the monster XF…
Samyang/Rokinon have long been known for making budget, manual everything lenses. I reviewed my first Rokinon lens in 2013, and have reviewed 9 others since (this will be the 11th Samyang/Rokinon lens I’ve reviewed). In the last two years Samyang…
