Sigma 24mm F1.4 DN ART Review
The original 24mm F1.4 ART was (I believe) the only Sigma ART lens that I missed reviewing at its time of release (in 2015). I rectified that in 2018 when I reviewed the newly released version of the lens for…

Techart LM-EA9 MF to AF Adapter Review and Gallery
Early on photography was a hobby, not a career for me. I engaged with other photographers on Flickr, a place where my collective photos have had 30 million views at this point. In one of the Flickr communities I became…
Sigma 20mm F1.4 DN ART Review
It was April 2016 when I reviewed Sigma’s first 20mm F1.4 ART lens, a lens designed for full frame DSLRs. I came away very impressed with the optical performance of the lens and felt like the greatest negatives were a…

TTArtisan 50mm F0.95 Review
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…
Sony E 11mm F1.8 Review
