The Canon EOS RP is Canon’s second entry in the new R series of mirrorless cameras from Canada. This second full-frame mirrorless camera comes with a slightly reduced spec list and a price tag roughly $1000 less – making it…
I was introduced to the company PolarPro near the beginning of 2019 when they reached out to me to see if I had any interest in reviewing some of their products. I get a lot of review requests (most of…
The original idea behind mirrorless cameras was they would be smaller, lighter alternatives to DSLRs due to the differences in technology while providing similar levels of optical performance. As I’ve noted in many subsequent reviews this idea is often lost,…
Sony surprised some of us with the announcement of the Sony a6400 APS-C mirrorless camera. Many of us expected Sony to continue moving upscale with an a6500 replacement, but instead it appears that Sony is going flesh out their APS-C…
Sigma has once again managed to do for mirrorless what they seemingly cannot do with DSLR lenses – make an optically excellent, COMPACT lens.  The Sigma DN 56mm F1.4 C is the 6th (by my count) of Sigma’s DN line…
Irix made their mark with a bevy of well-received wide angle lenses, including a super-wide-angle 11mm F4 lens along with a 15mm F2.4 that I reviewed last year. Their most recent lens release has set their sites in a different…
The Samyang AF 85mm F1.4 for Sony FE has been one of the lenses I’ve been most excited about since Samyang told me it was coming. Why? On a personal note, because I’ve been wanting a good portrait lens for…

A few months back I reviewed the newest Fujinon lens in the Fuji “trinity” of fast, F2.8 zoom lenses. That lens (the XF 8-16mm F2.8 WR) makes up the wide end of the spectrum while the XF 50-140mm F2.8 OS…

Sony’s most recent camera seems to be specifically targeted at the Vlogging and Selfie crowd with a revised physical design of the screen that allows it to tilt up into a forward facing position. The Sony a6400 also inherits some…
I have a serious soft spot for my vintage glass (I’ve got about 12 vintage lenses that I still use adapted modern cameras). Some of my favorites are classics from Japanese-made Takumars, Soviet-made Helios lenses, and German-made Zeiss (and their…

Sigma has produced perhaps more lenses than anyone over the past five years, but few of them are as important as the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 OS | Sport. Not only does this complete Sigma’s “trinity” of fast aperture zooms (14-24mm…
