July 27, 2019 Tamron 17-28mm F2.8 RXD (A046) Image Gallery

Tamron released their new 28-78mm F2.8 RXD lens for Sony full frame mirrorless (FE) last year to great fanfare, as it provided a legitimate alternative to the very large and very expensive Sony 24-70mm F2.8 G Master lens.  The 28-75 RXD went on to be the best selling lens of the year in its first […] [Read more...]

July 26, 2019 Tamron 35-150mm F2.8-4 VC OSD (A043) Review

When Tamron announced the 17-35mm F2.8-4 OSD last year, I was initially nonplussed. I was surprised to see them releasing a lens without VC (which has become a mainstay on Tamron lenses), a lens with a less sophisticated autofocus system, and delivering such a lens in the Canon EF/Nikon F mount where they already have […] [Read more...]

July 22, 2019 Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM Image Gallery

One of my main projects for 2019 was a plan to pit all the current autofocus 85mm options on the full frame Sony E-mount platform head to head.  I’ve done something similar for 50mm options (and, to a lesser extent, 35mm options) on Sony.  I’ve done a major 85mm shootout on the Canon platform and […] [Read more...]

July 16, 2019 Aurora Aperture PowerND-MC Filters Review

Last year I reviewed a clever rear filter solution for certain lenses that don’t take traditional filters from the company Aurora Aperture.  But Aurora Aperture has cranked up the creativity level and designed a new filter solution that, when you see it, you think, “Of course!  Why didn’t someone thin [Read more...]

July 13, 2019 Fujinon XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 OIS Gallery

I had a number of requests to review the Fujinon XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 OIS lens after I reviewed the XF 16-55mm F2.8 a few months ago, as many people feel like the XF 18-55mm is one of the best of its kind.  Certainly Fuji has taken a slightly different route with this “kit lens”, giving […] [Read more...]

July 12, 2019 Sony AF 85mm Showdown

One of my main projects for 2019 was a plan to pit all the current autofocus 85mm options on the full frame Sony E-mount platform head to head.  I’ve done something similar for 50mm options (and, to a lesser extent, 35mm options) on Sony.  I’ve done a major 85mm shootout on the Canon platform and […] [Read more...]

July 10, 2019 Sony FE 85mm F1.8 Image Gallery

All year long I’ve had the goal of doing a major 85mm showdown on the Sony platform, as I’ve done something similar for 50mm options (and, to a lesser extent, 35mm options) on Sony.  I’ve done a major 85mm shootout on the Canon platform and found it personally helpful and enjoyable, and this will be [&hell [Read more...]

July 5, 2019 FUJIFILM X-T30 Review

The Fuji X-T30 is Fujifilm’s fourth generation “bargain” mirrorless camera.  It has inherited a lot of trickle-down goodness from the X-T3 that I reviewed last year, including an improved sensor, better autofocus, 4K video, and more.  It has a lot packed into the compact little body that’s nearl [Read more...]
