Fujinon XF 23mm F2 R WR Review
There is an ongoing debate as to whether Fujifilm’s choice to focus on APS-C is the right one. I’ve engaged in that debate myself, but I think that lenses like the Fujinon XF 23mm F2 R WR represent the most…
Sony FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS Review
I only began to review Sony products in 2017, and my focus has primarily been upon the newer cameras and lenses released since that point, so I barely missed the Sony FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS, which was released…

Viltrox AF 23mm F1.4 Review
Viltrox has quickly established a name for themselves because, unlike most other new boutique lens makers, they have quickly (and successfully) accepted the challenge of designing autofocus lenses rather than just manual focus options. Many other newer brands have not…
Traveling with the Tamron 28-200mm RXD
When I reviewed the Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 RXD in June of 2020, I theorized that it might just be the best travel option available on Sony. I put that to the test recently and traveled to Mont Tremblant, Quebec (one…
Sigma 85mm F1.4 DN ART Review
The arrival of the Sigma 85mm F1.4 in late 2016 left me very conflicted, which is reflected in my review of that lens. On one hand, there was no question that the lens was very strong optically (one of the…

Fujinon XF 50-140mm F2.8 OIS Review
One of the unique strengths of the Fuji ecosystem is the wide range of lenses of varying quality and price points specifically designed around the APS-C sensor (in this case a 1.5x crop factor compared to 35mm/full frame). Fuji’s APS-C-centric…

Fujifilm X-T4 Review
When I finished up reviewing the Fujifilm X-T3 in late 2018 (my first Fuji review), I praised it as the most well-rounded APS-C camera I had used. Its amazing burst rate, excellent tracking abilities (with the right lens!), and solid…

Viltrox AF 85mm F1.8 STM II Review
It is extremely rare to see a Mark II version of a lens only about 15 months after the release of the original lens, but that is what we have in the Viltrox AF 85mm F1.8 STM II. I reviewed…
Viltrox AF 33mm F1.4 XF Review
The Fuji platform has not been a particularly open one. The traditional major third party players like Sigma and Tamron have no Fuji XF mount lenses, and Samyang has no autofocus lenses for XF. The only real AF series for…
Dulens APO 85mm F2 Review
As you probably know, I review a wide variety of lenses. I’ve increasingly found myself reviewing lenses from brand-new lens makers in recent years. It seems like the rise of mirrorless cameras in particular has triggered a lot of fresh…
Sony FE 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS Review
The Sony 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS is one of Sony’s older full frame E-mount lenses, but I’ve just gotten around to reviewing it because of the release of the new Tamron 28-200mm F2.8-5.6 RXD. Not all lenses age well, and that…
