September 21, 2023 Viltrox 27mm F1.2 vs Sigma 23mm F1.4 – Fuji Showdown!

It’s been a great couple of months for Fuji X-mount photographers, as we have two new excellent prime lenses from third parties, both of which retail for about $350 USD cheaper than the Fujinon XF 23mm F1.4 LM WR.  The Fuji is a great lens, and you can see my findings in my review here, […] [Read more...]

September 18, 2023 Feiyu Pocket 3 Action Camera Review

  I was excited about the proof of concept of the Pocket 3 action camera from gimbal experts Feiyu for its ability to quickly mount anywhere magnetically, be remotely controlled, and having up to 4K60 video capture.  I instantly saw a great opportunity for adding all kinds of unique B-roll footage to my various reviews [Read more...]

September 14, 2023 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).  It was a serious disruptor in the Sony E-mount space, as it brought an optically strong, good […] [Read more...]

September 10, 2023 Viltrox Pro AF 27mm F1.2 Portrait Session (on X-H2)

Because I had relatively brief review period in which I was on the road nearly continually, I didn’t initially have a chance to do a portrait session with the incredibly new Viltrox Pro AF 27mm F1.2 STM. I definitely wanted to rectify that, as it was clear from my time with the lens that it […] [Read more...]

September 8, 2023 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...]

September 5, 2023 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...]
