The mirrorless revolution largely started with APS-C (and smaller) sensors, but over the past four years the primary focus in the industry has largely shifted to full frame. The majority of camera and lens development has been in that space…
I entered the world of DSLRs back with Canon T1i, which came with a kit 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS lens. I hated that lens. It was clunky in operation, had a very slow and limiting maximum aperture range, and was uber-cheap…

The Internet is a repository of the world’s information, but it is also a place where a lot of the world’s wrong information rests. In this industry it is pretty common for someone influential to say something untrue and…
NiSi has historically been a company that has made filters for other people’s lenses, and a search of their products shows a lot of filters with very high reviews. But at some point they clearly decided that their optical glass…

Over the past two years Sigma has easily been the most prolific lens developer on Sony FE and Leica L. We went from no full frame options from Sigma on Sony’s mirrorless platform two years ago to some 25 lenses…

I’ll have to confess that it is a little bit surprising to be reviewing a second 24mm lens in Sigma’s new iSeries…just seven months after I reviewed the first one! I published my review of the Sigma 24mm F3.5 DG…

The Sony telephoto wars are heating up! For a long time the big hole in the Sony lineup was anything over 200mm. I found Sony’s development of the FE 200-600mm F5-6.3 G OSS lens in 2019 very welcome because it…

Most people’s impression of “kit lenses” are that they are cheap, plasticky lens that camera makers bundle with cameras so that new owners at least have something to take pictures with. You can throw that impression out the window with…
I was a bit surprised in early 2019 when Sony announced and released the Sony a6400 APS-C mirrorless camera. Many of us expected Sony to continue moving upscale with an a6500 replacement, but I concluded in my review of the…

Lost in the midst of the high profile releases of the 35mm F1.4 G Master (my review here), the Sony FE 14mm F1.8 (my review here), and the yet untested (by me!) Sony FE 50mm F1.2 GM is a trio…
