Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC | ART Gallery
Sigma’s 18-35mm F1.8 that was released ten years ago became a cult favorite, particularly with the video crowd. Even full frame users often used it to help mitigate crop factors and because of the flexibility of having a zoom range AND a fast maximum aperture.

Viltrox Pro AF 85mm F1.4 FE Gallery
The launch of the APS-C specific Viltrox AF 75mm F1.2 Pro for Fuji’s X-mount platform was the moment I realized that Viltrox was moving to a whole new level of optical design.

Schneider-KREUZNACH x LK Samyang 14-24mm F2.8 Gallery
It has a been a long time since I’ve reviewed a Samyang lens (two years, to be exact). Samyang seems to have gone through a bit of a restructuring during that time, rebranding as LK Samyang. The LK Group is a South Korean conglomerate involved in various industries, including manufacturing, electronics, and engineering. It [Read more...]
