Viltrox AF 24mm F1.8 STM Image Gallery
The first Viltrox lens I tested was a wide angle lens for Sony FE (full frame mirrorless). I did that review only two years ago, but it is astounding how much has changed during that time. In a very short…

Irix 45mm F1.4 Dragonfly Image Gallery
Some new lens makers have really saturated the market with their product since arriving on the scene, but Swiss/Korean lensmaker Irix has been far more selective in their releases, with the Irix 45mm F1.4 Dragonfly being only the fourth lens…

Sigma FP-L Mirrorless Camera Image Gallery
Most of us know Sigma as a lensmaker and nothing more, but Sigma has actually been developing somewhat quirky cameras for some time. Many of those were built around Sigma’s own SA mount or with a fixed lens and tended…
Fujinon GF 45mm F2.8 WR Review
I’ve recently started to expand my coverage of Fuji from their APS-C XF platforms to their medium format GFX lineup. Fujifilm has revolutionized the medium format space with more accessible, more affordable cameras and lenses, though all of this is…

Fujifilm GFX-100 Image Gallery
All of my time spent with Fuji products to this point has been on the APS-C end of the spectrum, but I’ve had a lot of requests to dip my toes into the more extreme end of their business, which…
Canon RF 70-200mm F4L IS USM Review
I was very impressed with the size Canon’s surprisingly compact RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM. when I reviewed the lens (my review here). It spoke to a new design philosophy at Canon which values compact size and reduced weight over…

Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN Review
Sometimes lens makers surprise you. Most “connected” photographers have their own ideas of what a lens maker should do, and, as a gear reviewer, I typically hear most of those suggestions. But clearly lens makers often have a different roadmap,…

7Artisans 35mm F0.95 Review and Images
I had my first experience with a 7Artisans lens not quite a year ago when I reviewed the 55mm F1.4 from them. I had seen 7Artisans mentioned a number of times because they fill an important niche in the market. …

Sigma 24mm F3.5 DN Review
In late 2019 I reviewed the Sigma 45mm F2.8 DN lens, and, while I loved the build of the lens, I concluded that it was a bit of an oddball. It was released in concert with a couple of other…

Laowa 15mm F4.5 Shift Lens Review and Gallery
Laowa (Venus Optics) has never been a conventional lens maker. Early Chinese lens designers typically made their reputation by offering up cheaper clones of existing lenses. They chose the most conventional lens designs as those are the easiest to reproduce. …
Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM Review
Canon clearly has new life and momentum since developing the new EOS R5 (my review here) and EOS R6 (my review here), as these models are truly innovative and finally feel like cameras that can unleash the potential of Canon’s…
