Fujinon XF 90mm F2 LM WR Review

The Fujifilm platform has been the best place to be to get excellent APS-C lenses of all shapes and sizes.  Fuji’s strategy has been to forego the popular 35mm (full frame) sensor and putting all their eggs into the APS-C…

Tamron 24mm F2.8 OSD M1:2 Image Gallery

Tamron has started to jump into Sony FE with both feet.  It’s first two zoom lenses (17-28mm F2.8 RXD and 28-75mm F2.8 RXD) have been very well received, and now Tamron is following up with not only the announced 70-180mm…

Sigma 40mm F1.4 ART Review

This one has taken me a while to get to!  I was scheduled to review the Sigma 40mm F1.4 DG HSM ART months ago, but then Sigma announced and quickly released a trio of new lenses for Sony FE (and…

Freewell Vari-ND Filters Gallery

I’ve just spend some time with an impressive set of Variable Neutral Density filters from Freewell.  This is the second time I’ve reviewed their products, and I’ve been pleasantly impressed both times by the innovation and quality of the products…

Sigma 35mm F1.2 DN ART Review

Sigma was a little slow to adopt to the Sony FE platform despite embracing APS-C e-Mount years ago.  2018 brought retooled versions of a number of their ART series DSLR lenses, though those lenses had clear compromises in size and…

Sony a9 (ILCE-9) Review

I was impressed when the Sony a9’s amazing tracking abilities and blazing fast burst rate of 20 FPS was revealed, but at the time I had little personal interest in a premium-priced Sony mirrorless camera.  Telephoto options were limited, I…

Brightin Star 12mm F2 Image Gallery

Brightin Star is the somewhat oddly named brand (I suspect this is a Chinese idiom that gets lost in translation) that has started to produce a variety of budget manual focus lenses for a number of the popular mirrorless camera…

While I was impressed when the Sony a9’s amazing tracking abilities and blazing fast burst rate of 20 FPS was revealed, I had little personal interest in a premium-priced Sony mirrorless camera.  Telephoto options were limited, I had been fairly…

Sony a7R IV Review (a7RIV)

The Sony a7RIII was the camera that really made me believe in Sony.  It took a deeply flawed camera (though with some great strengths) in the a7RII and turned it into the most complete camera on the market at the…

Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DC DN ART Review

After dipping their toes in the Sony FE (full frame mirrorless) pool last year with retooled versions of some of their popular ART series lenses (essentially lenses with built-in adapters to make them compatible with Sony), Sigma has arrived on…

Sony a7R IV Image Gallery

It’s here! I’ve got a copy of the new 61MP Sony a7R IV in for review.  This is Sony’s latest warning shot to Canon and Nikon that they are going to have a HARD time carving up Sony’s vast mirrorless…
