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…

Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 ANC Earbuds Review

The Anker Soundcore Liberty 3 buds are perhaps the best sounding ANC (active noise cancelling) earbuds that I’ve ever used, and with the price discounted to the $80 USD range, they are a fantastic value. These are premium buds…but are…

Viltrox AF 28mm F4.5 VCM Gallery

Viltrox is clearly a very ambitious company. I’ve had the unique opportunity to start from the beginning with them, reviewing their first 20mm F1.8 manual focus lens in early 2019. Then came an 85mm F1.8 manual focus, then their first…

TTArtisan AF 75mm F2 Gallery

2024 has been the year that TTArtisan has embraced producing autofocus lenses, and I had many good things to say about their 35mm F1.8 (my review here) and 56mm F1.8 lenses (my review here). But those were APS-C lenses, which…

Yongnuo YN 50mm F1.8 DA DSM Pro Gallery

I spent some time earlier this year reviewing the Yongnuo 11mm F1.8S DA DSM wide angle on Sony E-mount. I was impressed with some of the truly unique features and strong performance of the lens. It was enough to give…

Tamron 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VXD Z-Mount Gallery

In September of 2022 I had a chance to review the Sony E-mount version of Tamron’s very intriguing 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC VXD lens, a lens that expanded the traditional formula of a 100-400mm zoom by adding an additional 50mm of…

Fujinon GF 500mm F5.6 OIS Gallery

One of the indictments against Fuji’s medium format GF lineup has been in the limited number and variety of lenses. Until recently there were only 15 lenses available, and the longest focal length amongst them was the GF 250mm F4…
