Sigma 20mm F2 DG DN (iSeries) Image Gallery
Over the past two years Sigma has easily been the most prolific lens developer on Sony FE and Leica L. We went from no full frame options from Sigma on Sony’s mirrorless platform two years ago to some 25 lenses…
Sony a7IV (ILCE-7M4) Review
Perhaps no Sony camera series has benefitted as much from the “trickle-down” effect as the a7 series. The a7III set a new benchmark for the “full frame affordable(ish)” category by being basically good at everything. It inherited an amazing focus…

Samyang AF 50mm F1.4 II Review
When I first started reviewing Samyang (also sold as Rokinon – the products are identical), their products fell into one specific category. They produced inexpensive manual everything lenses that often had fairly good optics housed in “cheap” bodies. I was…

Viltrox AF 50mm F1.8 STM Review
You have to admire Viltrox. Just a few short years ago I reviewed my first Viltrox lens (a manual focus wide angle), but by their third lens, I was reviewing an autofocus lens. And, since that point, they have tackled…

TTArtisan 23mm F1.4 Review
TTArtisan has started to emerge from the pack of the many newer lens makers who produce inexpensive lenses in my mind. I’ve seen a consistent theme in the lenses that I’ve tested where their optical performance has exceeded my expectations. …
Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 VXD: Travel Worthy?
The excitement was palpable from the moment that Tamron first introduced the idea of their newest lens, a lens that busts genres and gives Tamron another “world’s first”. That lens is the Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 Di III VXD. Let’s give…
Laowa RF 100mm F2.8 APO 2:1 Macro Review
In 2019 I reviewed this lens, the Laowa 100mm F2.8 APO 2:1 Macro, though, at that time, my review was conducted on an EF mount lens on a Canon 5D Mark IV DSLR. I was very positive about the lens…

Canon EOS R3 Review
The Canon EOS R5 (my review here) and EOS R6 (my review here) cameras showed that Canon was serious about the full frame mirrorless space. The former remains one of the best jack-of-all-trades cameras ever made, possibly bested only by…
