Sirui AF 20mm T1.8 1.33x Anamorphic Review
Sirui launched the world’s first autofocusing anamorphic cine lens in the form of the 1.33x Anamorphic 40mm T1.8 late last year. I covered that lens in depth, and you can get my full thoughts by watching the video review or reading the text review. In summary, however, I found the addition of autofocus to be […] [Read more...]

Nebula Capsule Air Review
The Nebula Capsule Air is being marketed as the world’s smallest Google TV projector, and it is remarkably small…about the size of a soda can.

When I first started doing E-bike reviews, I was interested more because of my son, who was too young to drive and needed transportation. But in 2024 my son got a car and I began to take over the eBike he had been riding. I discovered that I loved taking long rides with a camera […] [Read more...]

Hello from Tokyo – Takeaways from Sigma’s New Product Announcements

Tokina ATX-M 11-18mm F2.8 X Gallery
It’s been a long time since I’ve used a Tokina lens. I actually owned multiple Tokina wide angle zooms back in my time as a photographer before I became a reviewer. Tokina has released relatively few lenses in the mirrorless era, and I hadn’t ever really built a relationship with the company, so I actually [&he [Read more...]
