March 31, 2025 Sony FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS Gallery

I have owned (and loved) the Sony FE 200-600mm F5-6.3 G OSS since reviewing it back in 2020. Sony took a different tack than most competing telephoto zooms by opting for an internally zooming lens, and, while that meant that the lens was larger than lenses like the Tamron 150-500mm or the Sigma 150-600mm, it […] [Read more...]

March 27, 2025 Yongnuo 56mm F1.4 DA DSM WL Pro Gallery

Yongnuo’s “Commander” series of lenses has thus far been consistently good. I’ve previously reviewed first an 11mm F1.8, then the first of the trio of faster primes at standard focal lengths. First came the 33mm F1.4, then the 23mm F1.4, and now we will cover the telephoto end of the equation in the new Y [Read more...]

March 24, 2025 Bluetti Elite 200 V2 Portable Power Station Review

I’ve done about ten different Bluetti reviews along with many other power stations over the years, and most of them try to sell you on some kind of uniquely marketable feature.  The Elite 200 V2 has very few marketable features – no special ports (or number of ports), battery swapping or expansion, or other gimmicks…b [Read more...]

March 19, 2025 Viltrox AF 135mm F1.8 LAB Z-mount Gallery

In the fall of the 2024 I had the opportunity to review the long awaited first entry in Viltrox’s Premium LAB series – the Viltrox AF 135mm F1.8 LAB FE. I loved the lens on Sony despite it being large and heavy and gave it a pretty glowing review. One regret I had was that […] [Read more...]

March 17, 2025 XGIMI Halo+ (New) with Netflix Projector Review

In 2024 Netflix changed its protocols and licensing standards to be more stringent, meaning that a lot of existing devices could no longer natively stream their content. XGIMI’s existing Halo+ projector was one of those, meaning that now those who wanted to use Netflix had to use either a separate streaming “stick” [Read more...]
