May 2, 2025 LAB vs PLENA: Nikon 135mm Showdown

In the past six weeks I have reviewed two amazing 135mm lenses – both in Nikon Z mount.  That’s great, as 18 months ago we had zero 135mm lenses.  Both of them have tremendous strengths and a lot of similarities…but they are priced radically different, with the LAB coming in at $900 USD and the […] [Read more...]

April 28, 2025 7Artisans AF 35mm F1.4 X Gallery

Last year about this time I reviewed the little 7Artisans AF 27mm F2.8, a pretty decent budget autofocus lens for various APS-C mounts (I reviewed in on Sony). This year they are back with another APS-C lens, but this is a much more ambitious option – the 7Artisans AF 35mm F1.4. F1.4 is two full […] [Read more...]

April 22, 2025 Sony FE 50-150mm F2 GM Gallery

Sony’s mirrorless E-mount has reached a saturation point with more lenses available than possibly any lens mount before, so finding an actually unique lens can be hard to do. That’s not true for today’s review, however, as Sony is releasing a genre-busting lens that builds on the foundation set by last years FE [Read more...]

April 16, 2025 Viltrox AF 35mm F1.2 LAB FE Gallery

We’ve known that Viltrox’s LAB series was coming for about two years, and I, for one, was very excited for the series. Viltrox has proved to be capable of doing very serious optical engineering, and, put simply, the LAB series was proposed as being Viltrox’s “G Master”, “L Series”, or &# [Read more...]

April 14, 2025 llano 2-in-1 Dual Bay Camera Battery Charger Review

About a year ago I did a review of the llano dual bay battery charger, concluding that it was a clever way to charge your camera’s batteries and also to get discounted batteries.  Since that point I’ve used the llano batteries a lot and without issue.  But llano is back with an expanded concept – […] [Read more...]
