The Fujifilm platform has been the best place to be to get excellent APS-C lenses of all shapes and sizes. Fuji’s strategy has been to forego the popular 35mm (full frame) sensor and putting all their eggs into the APS-C basket. They’ve also moved into the Medium Format space with their GFx system, but th [Read more...]
This one has taken me a while to get to! I was scheduled to review the Sigma 40mm F1.4 DG HSM ART months ago, but then Sigma announced and quickly released a trio of new lenses for Sony FE (and Leica L), which I prioritized covering. The first I reviewed was the little 45mm prime […] [Read more...]
Sigma was a little slow to adopt to the Sony FE platform despite embracing APS-C e-Mount years ago. 2018 brought retooled versions of a number of their ART series DSLR lenses, though those lenses had clear compromises in size and performance based on their not having been originally developed for Sony. In 2019, howev [Read more...]
I was impressed when the Sony a9’s amazing tracking abilities and blazing fast burst rate of 20 FPS was revealed, but at the time I had little personal interest in a premium-priced Sony mirrorless camera.

The Sony a7RIII was the camera that really made me believe in Sony. It took a deeply flawed camera (though with some great strengths) in the a7RII and turned it into the most complete camera on the market at the time. It had a little bit of everything: great sensor, great autofocus, great video performance, [&h [Read more...]
After dipping their toes in the Sony FE (full frame mirrorless) pool last year with retooled versions of some of their popular ART series lenses (essentially lenses with built-in adapters to make them compatible with Sony), Sigma has arrived on the scene in the second half of 2019 with some actual fresh development specifically [Read more...]
