Fujifilm X-T5 Image Gallery
I was late to the Fuji party. I did my first Fuji review in 2018 (starting with the Fujifilm X-T3) and was impressed by the maturity of the system in many ways when compared to other APS-C mirrorless camera systems. …

Viltrox AF 75mm F1.2 Review
It was inevitable. Viltrox has proven to be an aggressive new player on the lens market that isn’t afraid to take some risks, and they have been steadily stepping up their game in terms of build and autofocus. They started…

Samyang (Rokinon) AF 135mm F1.8 Review
I’ve noted that I’ve really enjoyed testing recent Samyang lenses because of their great mix of performance and price, but I don’t think that I’ve anticipated any Samyang lens as much as the new Samyang AF 135mm F1.8. I was…
TTArtisan 35mm F0.95 Review and Gallery
TTArtisan has continued to surprise me with lenses that in some way exceed my expectations. Whether it was a surprisingly sharp full frame fisheye lens, a shockingly competent macro lens that cost right over $100, or tiny little prime lenses…

Fujinon GF 20-35mm F4 WR Review
New lens releases for Fujifilm’s unique GFX medium format cameras don’t come often, so when one arrives, it is worth taking a look. Their newest lens is the Fujinon GF 20-35mm F4 WR, a wide angle zoom that proves to…

Canon RF 24mm F1.8 Macro IS STM Review
One of my absolute favorite lenses in the Canon EF mount was the Canon EF 35mm F2 IS. I loved the form factor, the image quality, the great autofocus, and the very helpful Image Stabilization. It featured a nice magnification…

7Artisans Spectrum 85mm T2 Cine Lens Review
I’ve previously spent time reviewing 5 different 7Artisans lenses, most all of them relatively inexpensive manual-everything lenses designed for APS-C and smaller sensors. But recently the company reached out to me and asked about the possibility of my reviewing a…
Laowa Argus 25mm F0.95 APO Review
A little over a year ago I spent some time with my first Laowa Argus lens. The Argus series is a more premium line of prime lenses that to this point have all had the extreme maximum aperture of F0.95. …
Tamron 20-40mm F2.8 VXD (A062) Review
Japanese lensmaker Tamron has had an epiphany: rather than just produce less expensive alternatives to first party lenses they could instead forge their own path and open up new market share for themselves by thinking outside the box. Tamron has…

The Canon RF-S 18-150mm IS STM lens is one of two newly announced lenses that will serve as the “kit” lenses for Canon’s first APS-C cameras that utilize the RF mount. The 18-150mm is the more premium of the two,…
