TTArtisan 75mm F1.5 “Swirl” Lens Review

I’ve had a long lasting love affair with vintage glass. Even though my contemporary lens collection features dozens of great lenses, I still have 6 or 7 vintage lenses that I enjoy taking out periodically. Some of those include classic…

Earfun Air Pro 4 ANC Earbuds Review

Active Noise Canceling earbuds are great, but they also tend to be very pricy.  That’s part of what makes the EarFun Air Pro 4 ANC earbuds so appealing…as you can get them for under $70…and they’re pretty awesome. Find out…

Viltrox LAB vs Samyang AF – 135mm Battle!

The LAB series is to be Viltrox’s “Otus” series; an optically superlative lineup of lenses that will eventually include 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm F1.2 lenses in addition to the 135mm F1.8 LAB lens that I’m reviewing here. Viltrox is unique…

Viltrox LAB 135mm F1.8 Gallery

I’ve just wrapped up a review of Viltrox’s smallest, lightest, and cheapest lens: the AF 28mm F4.5 “Chip” – a micro-pancake lens just 15mm long. That makes it somewhat ironic to immediately pivot to what is easily their biggest, heaviest,…

Canon RF 35mm F1.4L VCM Gallery

When I began to wholesale move to mirrorless, there were certain beloved lenses that were very slow to leave my kit. I had a whole kit of Canon EF lenses, and initially I just adapted those lenses to Canon RF…

Viltrox AF 40mm F2.5 E-mount Review

Earlier this year I did one of my first ever Nikon Z-mount reviews, and it was of a brand new Viltrox lens that released first to Nikon – the Viltrox AF 40mm F2.5. I found it to be quite an…

Nikon Z8 Gallery

I’ve finally done it. I’ve had people asking me to cover Nikon for more than a decade, but initially I wasn’t interested in adding the time and expense of yet another system and I couldn’t set up a reliable partner…

Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 DN (Canon RF) Review

The Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN is the second of two Sigma zooms that we’ve seen rereleased on Canon’s RF mount, and they are very welcome. Earlier this year as I was doing my review of the Canon EOS R50…

Viltrox AF 20mm F2.8 Z-Mount Gallery

I have found it interesting to revisit certain lenses as mounts like Nikon’s Z-mount have started to open up to third party development. It’s interesting to see just how well these lenses translate onto a new platform. My very first…

Tamron 90mm F2.8 Macro VXD Gallery

Sony E-mount has had perhaps more lens development than any other mount in history. Want an autofocus 35mm lens? You easily have 20+ options to choose from in that focal length alone. I review nearly 100 lenses per year, and…
