Nikon Z8 Gallery
I’ve finally done it. I’ve had people asking me to cover Nikon for more than a decade, but initially I wasn’t interested in adding the time and expense of yet another system and I couldn’t set up a reliable partner…

Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 DN (Canon RF) Review
The Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN is the second of two Sigma zooms that we’ve seen rereleased on Canon’s RF mount, and they are very welcome. Earlier this year as I was doing my review of the Canon EOS R50…
Viltrox AF 20mm F2.8 Z-Mount Gallery
I have found it interesting to revisit certain lenses as mounts like Nikon’s Z-mount have started to open up to third party development. It’s interesting to see just how well these lenses translate onto a new platform. My very first…
Tamron 90mm F2.8 Macro VXD Gallery
Sony E-mount has had perhaps more lens development than any other mount in history. Want an autofocus 35mm lens? You easily have 20+ options to choose from in that focal length alone. I review nearly 100 lenses per year, and…
Viltrox AF 28mm F4.5 VCM Gallery
Viltrox is clearly a very ambitious company. I’ve had the unique opportunity to start from the beginning with them, reviewing their first 20mm F1.8 manual focus lens in early 2019. Then came an 85mm F1.8 manual focus, then their first…
TTArtisan AF 75mm F2 Gallery
2024 has been the year that TTArtisan has embraced producing autofocus lenses, and I had many good things to say about their 35mm F1.8 (my review here) and 56mm F1.8 lenses (my review here). But those were APS-C lenses, which…
Yongnuo YN 50mm F1.8 DA DSM Pro Gallery
I spent some time earlier this year reviewing the Yongnuo 11mm F1.8S DA DSM wide angle on Sony E-mount. I was impressed with some of the truly unique features and strong performance of the lens. It was enough to give…
Tamron 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VXD Z-Mount Gallery
In September of 2022 I had a chance to review the Sony E-mount version of Tamron’s very intriguing 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC VXD lens, a lens that expanded the traditional formula of a 100-400mm zoom by adding an additional 50mm of…
Fujinon GF 500mm F5.6 OIS Gallery
One of the indictments against Fuji’s medium format GF lineup has been in the limited number and variety of lenses. Until recently there were only 15 lenses available, and the longest focal length amongst them was the GF 250mm F4…
Sigma 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN ART Gallery
I’ve been in the review business for about 13 years now, and over that time I’ve heard the requests from my audience for someone to produce a 24-105mm F2.8 full frame zoom. The 24-105mm F4 zoom has been ubiquitous, but…
Tamron 28-300mm F4-7.1 VC VXD Gallery
Tamron has long been a company invested in designing all-in-one/superzoom lenses. My very first Tamron lens was their 18-270mm PZD lens, which I owned and used for a few years starting in 2010. That was an APS-C lens, but Tamron…
Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM II Gallery
People have been waiting for the Mark II version of the Sony 85mm G Master lens for a long time. There has been a lot of conjecture over whether or not it will be an 85mm F1.2 lens to match…
Viltrox AF 56mm F1.7 E-Mount Gallery
The Viltrox AF 56mm F1.7 is not an unknown commidity to me. I reviewed in on Fuji X-mount earlier this year, which is, frankly, the most challenging platform that I review lenses on for two reasons: 1) Fuji’s 40MP APS-C…
Voigtländer Nokton 50mm F1 Gallery
Ahhh, it is nice to be reviewing another Voigtländer lens! My last Voigtländer review was back in 2020, and it was actually a review of the APO-Lanthar 50mm F2 that a subscriber had personally loaned me because I had no…
Sony ZV-E10 II Image Gallery
What do people want in a small, portable camera? A fixed prime lens and a camera high on style, like Fuji’s X100VI that I reviewed earlier this year? Or Sony’s own ZV-1 II camera with a fixed zoom lens? But…
Fujifilm GFX100S II Gallery
Fujifilm has been working for years to “mainstream” medium format. They made a unique decision to embrace the smaller APS-C sensor (Fuji XF) and the large medium format sensor (Fuji GF) while bypassing the popular full frame sensor where most…
Voigtländer Nokton 75mm F1.5 Gallery
Photographer Dustin Abbott shares a gallery of images from the Voigtländer Nokton 75mm F1.5 premium manual focus prime - on Nikon Z-mount
7Artisans AF 85mm F1.8 STM Gallery
Photographer Dustin Abbott shares a gallery of images from the new 7Artisans AF 85mm F1.8 STM telephoto prime lens for full frame mirrorless
