All of Nikon’s Z-mount F1.2 S lenses are extreme instruments. They are big, heavy, and expensive…not for the faint of heart. But if you’re interested in premium performance (and you have a strong back), they are delivering uniquely amazing results. Nikon’s newest is the Nikkor Z 35mm F1.2 S lens, and it s [Read more...]
The company Kase has long been known as a filter maker, with a wide variety of filters and filter systems. But they have just released their first lens, and it is a surprisingly ambitious one. The Kase AF 85mm F1.4 is a full frame 85mm F1.4 lens complete with a wide variety of unique features, […] [Read more...]
No modern camera company does “vibes” quite like Fuji (well, maybe Leica, but that’s a whole other level of customer). It’s not unusual for a new Fuji camera (particularly X100 series) to be sold out not just for months but sometimes even years. It’s unclear whether some of that is intentional (do t [Read more...]
I noted in my recent review of the Nikkor Z 50mm F1.8 S that Nikon’s marketing strategy at the typical prime focal lengths (35mm, 50mm, and 85mm) is a bit unconventional.

Sigma’s 18-35mm F1.8 that was released ten years ago became a cult favorite, particularly with the video crowd. Even full frame users often used it to help mitigate crop factors and because of the flexibility of having a zoom range AND a fast maximum aperture. Last year Sigma launched the 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN | […] [Read more...]

The launch of the APS-C specific Viltrox AF 75mm F1.2 Pro for Fuji’s X-mount platform was the moment I realized that Viltrox was moving to a whole new level of optical design. I gave that lens a glowing review because it was completely next level. It was big and heavy, yes, but it was just […] [Read more...]
