I had mixed feelings about some of Samyang’s (also sold under the Rokinon brand) early full frame lenses, but I really loved their compact APS-C primes whose design language was in many ways a precursor to their full frame “Tiny…

Sony is on a tear with their recent lens designs. In the past couple of years we have seen one exceptional lens after another, with standouts including the 24mm F1.4 G Master (perhaps the best 24mm lenses thus far – my…

The classic 35mm focal length is one that, until recently, was slightly underrepresented on Sony. For years the sole “professional” option was the Sony Zeiss Distagon 35mm F1.4, a lens with a very mixed reputation that seems to be due…
It’s always intriguing to me when two very similar lenses come to the market at the same time. I was just wrapping up my coverage of the Viltrox AF 24mm F1.8 (my review here) when I got wind that Samyang…

What do you get when you combine the massive resolution of the Sony a7RIV (almost!), the blazing speed of the Sony a9II (and more!), and all the video capabilities of the Sony a7SIII? The answer is the Sony Alpha 1,…

The first Viltrox lens I tested was a wide angle lens for Sony FE (full frame mirrorless). I did that review only two years ago, but it is astounding how much has changed during that time. In a very short…

Some new lens makers have really saturated the market with their product since arriving on the scene, but Swiss/Korean lensmaker Irix has been far more selective in their releases, with the Irix 45mm F1.4 Dragonfly being only the fourth lens…
