While I was impressed when the Sony a9’s amazing tracking abilities and blazing fast burst rate of 20 FPS was revealed, I had little personal interest in a premium-priced Sony mirrorless camera. Telephoto options were limited, I had been fairly…
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…
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…
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…
It’s here! I’ve got a copy of the new 61MP Sony a7R IV in for review. This is Sony’s latest warning shot to Canon and Nikon that they are going to have a HARD time carving up Sony’s vast mirrorless…

The Fujifilm platform has been the place to be to get excellent APS-C lenses of all shapes and sizes. One of the favorites has been the Fujinon XF 56mm F1.2 R lens, which serves a role much like an 85mm…

I recently completed a six-way comparison of all the currently available autofocusing lenses for Sony’s full frame mirrorless (FE) platform. These lenses cover a wide range of price points, from $379 (all prices USD) for the Viltrox AF 85mm F1.8,…

When Tamron announced the 17-35mm F2.8-4 OSD last year, I was initially nonplussed. I was surprised to see them releasing a lens without VC (which has become a mainstay on Tamron lenses), a lens with a less sophisticated autofocus system,…
One of my main projects for 2019 was a plan to pit all the current autofocus 85mm options on the full frame Sony E-mount platform head to head. I’ve done something similar for 50mm options (and, to a lesser extent,…
Last year I reviewed a clever rear filter solution for certain lenses that don’t take traditional filters from the company Aurora Aperture. But Aurora Aperture has cranked up the creativity level and designed a new filter solution that, when you…
I had a number of requests to review the Fujinon XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 OIS lens after I reviewed the XF 16-55mm F2.8 a few months ago, as many people feel like the XF 18-55mm is one of the best of…

All year long I’ve had the goal of doing a major 85mm showdown on the Sony platform, as I’ve done something similar for 50mm options (and, to a lesser extent, 35mm options) on Sony. I’ve done a major 85mm shootout…
