Viltrox 27mm F1.2 vs Sigma 23mm F1.4 – Fuji Showdown!

Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 VC VXD G2 Review
2020 was a weird year. For everyone. It was a weird year for lens reviewers as well, though one of the highlights of 2020 was the release of Tamron’s 70-180mm F2.8 VXD (which I reviewed here).

Pergear 14mm F2.8 II Review
Pergear released a 14mm F2.8 wide angle prime for full frame cameras a few years ago, and while it was nicely sharp, there were some areas that could be improved. But Pergear is back with a second attempt that has improved on a number of those shortcomings. The new Pergear 14mm F2.8 II features: More […] [Read more...]

Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS (X-Mount) Review
For the second time in about a month, I am working on a review of a lens that was designed on full frame but is being ported over to the APS-C only Fuji X-mount. Tamron determined that its full frame 150-500mm VC lens was compact and competent enough to work on Fuji (where there are […] [Read more...]
