It seems like new lens makers are popping up all over the place now, and these galleries are dedicated to what is, to me, a brand new company. I hadn’t heard of Zonlai before their distributor contacted me about potentially…
The very first Sony FE lens that I reviewed was not a Sony; it was a Zeiss. When Zeiss approached me about reviewing the Zeiss Batis APO Sonnar 135mm f lens, I actually had no way of doing so as…
The very first Sony FE lens that I reviewed was the, ironically, the newest lens in the Batis line for Sony FE (full frame E-mount). When Zeiss approached me about reviewing the Zeiss Batis APO Sonnar 135mm f lens, I…
The release of the truly impressive new Sony a7R3 camera (and now the Sony a73!) has caught a lot of our attention. The a7R2 also caught my attention because of a great spec list and an impressive sensor, but when…
