Sigma 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN Review
I was somewhat surprised when Sigma released the Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 DG DN (my review here). It had only been 13 months since they had released the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DN, a lens I felt was a strong alternative in…

Sony E 15mm F1.4 G Review
I’ve been openly questioning of Sony’s commitment to its APS-C platform, as both camera and lens releases in that space have been few and far between over the past 3 years. Sony’s development on full frame has been rather frenzied…

Viltrox AF 13mm F1.4 STM Review
Viltrox has proven to be an aggressive new player on the lens market that isn’t afraid to take some risks. I started reviewing manual focus lenses from them, which quickly turned to autofocus lenses. They’ve boldly gone into new market…

Fujinon XF 70-300mm F4-5.6 OIS LM WR Review
Every camera system needs some reasonable options for telephoto reach, and for many full frame platforms, the standard focal lengths are 70-300mm and 100-400mm. The Fujinon XF 70-300mm F4-5.6 R LM OIS WR covers both in a sense, as it…

Sony E 70-350mm F4.5-6.3 G OSS review
Sony’s development for it’s APS-C mirrorless E-mount has been rather underwhelming, with new releases (from Sony, at least) being very rare. I’ve reviewed plenty of E-mount lenses over the past five years (including many autofocusing lenses), but they tend to…

Jackery Explorer 1000 Portable Power Solution Review
Several months ago I took a chance on Jackery, a company that specializes in remote power options like powerful battery systems and portable solar panels, and reviewed their Explorer 300 and SolarSaga 100 (solar panel) combination. I was very impressed…
Canon RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM Review
I recently finished up my review of the L (luxury) series Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS – a lens that is thoroughly premium in both performance and price (retailing for about $2900 USD!). That price point is a prohibitively high…

NiSi V7 Landscape Filter System Review + Gallery
My first encounter with the company NiSi was actually to review their first lens. NiSi has historically been a company that has made filters for other people’s lenses, and a search of their products shows a lot of filters with…
Laowa 20mm F4 Shift Lens Review
Laowa (Venus Optics) has never been afraid to take on challenging lens designs. It is hard to find a “conventional” lens in their lineup, as every lens has some kind of unique twist to it. Macro at very wide angles…
