January 2, 2023 Fujifilm X-T5 Review

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.  In the last four years, however, there has been a lot of changes in the […] [Read more...]

December 26, 2022 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 with the safe, traditional focal lengths, (roughly the equivalent of 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, an [Read more...]

December 16, 2022 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 shocked when I reviewed their budget manual focus 135mm F2 nearly 8 year [Read more...]

December 12, 2022 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 like the 23mm F1.4 that are surprisingly competent…and cheap.  They hav [Read more...]

December 5, 2022 FUJIFILM GFX100S Medium Format Camera Review

The Fujifilm GFX 100S is the third of Fuji’s medium format camera bodies that I have reviewed, and this is definitely my favorite of the bunch.  I’ve reviewed their extremely high resolution and extremely high-priced Fujfilm GFX 100 camera body ($10,000 USD) and its incredible 102 megapixels of resolution alon [Read more...]
