February 10, 2025 Fuji Standard Zoom Showdown Part 2

My most popular video of 2024 was a showdown between the (then) primary standard zoom options available on the Fuji X-mount platform – the Fuji XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 R LM OIS, XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR, and the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DN. My surprising conclusion was that the Sigma actually held up the best […] [Read more...]

February 6, 2025 Yongnuo YN 23mm F1.4 DSM WL Pro Gallery

It was just a little over a month ago that I spent time reviewing the Yongnuo 33mm F1.4 DA DSM WL Pro lens, which I knew was the first to release from a series of three lenses in YN’s “Commander” series. I was quite impressed with the 33mm for a number of reasons, including the […] [Read more...]

February 3, 2025 Fujinon XF 16-50mm F2.8-4.8 R LM WR Gallery

Fuji’s original 18-55mm F2.8-4 OIS was often used as proof positive that Fuji’s APS-C platform was the best. Before I began to test Fuji, I heard the lens hyped to epic proportions. When I got around to reviewing it in 2019, I was frankly a bit disappointed. In 2024 I revisited the Fuji standard zooms […] [Read more...]

January 30, 2025 Sirui Autofocus 1.33x Anamorphic 40mm T1.8 Review

Sirui began their lensmaking journey with cine lenses, and, in particular, anamorphic lenses, and only later branched out to more standard autofocus lenses like the Sniper Series (APS-C) and more recently the Aurora full frame line. Perhaps it was inevitable for the two different lens lines to collide as they have in what is a [ [Read more...]

January 27, 2025 Fujinon XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR II Gallery

In 2024 I did a fresh review of the nearly ten year old Fujinon XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR lens, and I concluded that it was due an update. It was clear that it hadn’t been engineered with future high resolution bodies in mind, and the current 40MP sensor in a camera like my […] [Read more...]
