The TTArtisan 21mm F1.5 ASPH is the second lens I’ve reviewed from Chinese lensmaker TTArtisan. The first was an 11mm F2.8 Fisheye lens, which is hardly a conventional lens. That lens was good enough, however, that I was open to…

The Sony FE catalog of lenses is one of the most robust ever. Sony’s bet on developing a more open source platform and welcoming third party development has really paid off, as at most focal lengths photographers have a plethora…
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…

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…

It’s hard to believe that just a couple of years ago Sigma had no lenses for Sony full frame E-mount (FE). They started with a huge drop of “adopted” DSLR lenses that gave them a basic lineup built on their…

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,…
