Nikkor Z 24-70mm F2.8 S II Review
It is rare that we see true innovation in camera lenses, but the Nikkor Z 24-70mm F2.8 S II is more than just a second generation professional standard zoom for Nikon Z-mount cameras, but is instead a significant departure from…
Viltrox LAB 35mm F1.2 Z-Mount Review
It has been a long eight months since I released my review of the Viltrox AF 35mm F1.2 LAB FE in April of 2025, leaving a lot of people wondering when and even if the Nikon Z-mount version was coming.…
Canon EOS R6 Mark III Review
Canon has clearly pulled out the stops with the third generation of their popular EOS R6 camera. The R6 lineup hits the sweet spot for many people, with a (somewhat) affordable price ($2799 for this one), impressive autofocus and tracking…
Meike MIX 24mm F1.4 FE Review
I’ve reviewed a few Meike lenses before, but never one like this one. My early experience with Meike lenses was that they were budget lenses that stood out above all for their bargain price rather the quality of their performance.…
Viltrox Pro AF 85mm F1.4 Z-mount Review
Viltrox’s full frame jump into their “Pro” series took off with a bang in spring of 2025 with the release of the Pro AF 85mm F1.4, a lens that I gave a very positive review. They followed that up the…
Viltrox EVO 85mm F2 Nikon Z-Mount Review
Last month I reviewed the incredible new Viltrox EVO 85mm F2 lens on Sony FE, and while we’ve had to wait at times to see such lenses come to Nikon Z-mount, Viltrox has accelerated the timeline, and this sweet new…
Sirui Aurora 35mm F1.4 Z Review
Last year I reviewed the first full frame prime lens in Sirui’s Aurora series last year – the Aurora 85mm F1.4. It fell into a nice budget space of under $600 and added a nice build and features along with…
Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 G2 Z-mount Review
Tamron’s early relationship with Nikon in the mirrorless age was very unique. Nikon, like Canon, was technically closed to third party autofocus lenses, but Tamron’s popular trilogy of fast zoom lenses (the 17-28mm F2.8, 28-75mm F2.8, and 70-180mm F2.8) made…
Tamron 25-200mm F2.8-5.6 VXD G2 Review
The Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 RXD was one of the lenses from the past five years that really surprised me. I initially reviewed in back in June of 2020, and I was unexpectedly surprised by how good it was optically for…
XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro 4K Projector Review
I’ve reviewed projectors from a number of different brands over the years, but never before have I started strategizing how to reconfigure my whole home entertainment system around one of the them. The XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro has done just…
Viltrox EVO 85mm F2 FE Review
Uh oh! Just when other lensmakers were adjusting to Viltrox’s three pronged approach of budget AIR, upper mid-tier PRO, and premium LAB series of lenses, Viltrox is back with a whole new series of lenses under the label of EVO.…
Viltrox Pro AF 50mm F1.4 FE Review
Viltrox’s Pro AF 85mm F1.4 kicked off the jump of their Pro series into the full frame space with a bang. I gave the lens a pretty glowing review (my review here) as did many, many other reviewers. I’ve liked…
