Fujinon XF 16-50mm F2.8-4.8 R LM WR Gallery

Sirui Autofocus 1.33x Anamorphic 40mm T1.8 Review
Sirui began their lensmaking journey with cine lenses, and, in particular, anamorphic lenses, and only later branched out to more standard autofocus lenses like the Sniper Series (APS-C) and more recently the Aurora full frame line. Perhaps it was inevitable…
Fujinon XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR II Gallery
In 2024 I did a fresh review of the nearly ten year old Fujinon XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR lens, and I concluded that it was due an update. It was clear that it hadn’t been engineered with future…

Fujifilm scored a huge hit with their X-100VI and its retro-cool design and fixed lens. But there are plenty of people who like the vibe but want the ability to use more than one lens. Enter the new Fujifilm X-M5,…
