October 14, 2024 Viltrox AF 20mm F2.8 Z Review

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 review on my new Nikon Z8 body this spring was of another Viltrox full frame [&hellip [Read more...]

October 7, 2024 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 many of them are for E-mount. But I realized about two years ago how few […] [Read more...]

October 3, 2024 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 they for you?  Find out in my thorough video review below, or by reading through [ [Read more...]

September 29, 2024 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 autofocus lens right after that (also an 85mm F1.8). They spent a few years honing [&hell [Read more...]

September 26, 2024 Sony 85mm F1.4 GM II vs Sigma 85mm F1.4 DN

People have been waiting for the Mark II version of the Sony 85mm G Master lens for a long time. There has been a lot of conjecture over whether or not it will be an 85mm F1.2 lens to match the 50mm F1.2 GM that I reviewed here and to compete with similar lenses from […] [Read more...]

September 23, 2024 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 are slightly easier to engineer than lenses for larger sensors. But TTArtisan is back with […] [Read more...]
