It’s the one I’ve been waiting for! Even since Sigma released their 85mm F1.4 DN in 2020 (my review here) I’ve been harassing my Sigma contact about a 50mm DN lens. Well, it’s here, and the Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG…

Back in May of this year I spent extended time reviewing the Viltrox AF 13mm F1.4 STM for Fuji (on a FUJIFilm X-T4 camera). I concluded that it joined the 85mm F1.8 as one of their best lenses to date…

I’ve been openly questioning of Sony’s commitment to its APS-C platform, as both camera and lens releases in that space have been few and far between over the past 3 years. Sony’s development on full frame has been rather frenzied…

Viltrox has proven to be an aggressive new player on the lens market that isn’t afraid to take some risks. I started reviewing manual focus lenses from them, which quickly turned to autofocus lenses. They’ve boldly gone into new market…

TTArtisan has started to emerge from the pack of the many newer lens makers who produce inexpensive lenses in my mind. I’ve seen a consistent theme in the lenses that I’ve tested where their optical performance has exceeded my expectations. …
The classic 35mm focal length is one that, until recently, was slightly underrepresented on Sony. For years the sole “professional” option was the Sony Zeiss Distagon 35mm F1.4, a lens with a very mixed reputation that seems to be due…

It’s hard to believe that just a couple of years ago Sigma had no lenses for Sony full frame E-mount (FE). They started with a huge drop of “adopted” DSLR lenses that gave them a basic lineup built on their…

Photography is expensive, so a lot of the gear that I end up reviewing is often outside the budget of many people. Fortunately there has been a rise in the past 3-4 years of what I classify as “boutique third…
Canon clearly has new life and momentum since developing the new EOS R5 (my review here) and EOS R6 (my review here), as these models are truly innovative and finally feel like cameras that can unleash the potential of Canon’s…
