No modern camera company does “vibes” quite like Fuji (well, maybe Leica, but that’s a whole other level of customer). It’s not unusual for a new Fuji camera (particularly X100 series) to be sold out not just for months but sometimes even years. It’s unclear whether some of that is intentional (do t [Read more...]
I noted in my recent review of the Nikkor Z 50mm F1.8 S that Nikon’s marketing strategy at the typical prime focal lengths (35mm, 50mm, and 85mm) is a bit unconventional. In the past the usual strategy was entry level (F1.8), mid-tier (F1.4), and premium (F1.2) options. But Nikon actually released F1.8 lenses at these [&he [Read more...]

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. I gave that lens a glowing review because it was completely next level. It was big and heavy, yes, but it was just […] [Read more...]

I’ve praised Yongnuo over the past few years for being innovative rather than derivative. My first exposure to Yongnuo is when they started making cheap versions of Canon optical designs (very derivative), but more recently they’ve found their footing in making their own lenses with some of their own innovations.
