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…

I spent some time earlier this year reviewing the Yongnuo 11mm F1.8S DA DSM wide angle on Sony E-mount. I was impressed with some of the truly unique features and strong performance of the lens. It was enough to give…

In September of 2022 I had a chance to review the Sony E-mount version of Tamron’s very intriguing 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC VXD lens, a lens that expanded the traditional formula of a 100-400mm zoom by adding an additional 50mm of…

One of the indictments against Fuji’s medium format GF lineup has been in the limited number and variety of lenses. Until recently there were only 15 lenses available, and the longest focal length amongst them was the GF 250mm F4…

I’ve been in the review business for about 13 years now, and over that time I’ve heard the requests from my audience for someone to produce a 24-105mm F2.8 full frame zoom. The 24-105mm F4 zoom has been ubiquitous, but…

Tamron has long been a company invested in designing all-in-one/superzoom lenses. My very first Tamron lens was their 18-270mm PZD lens, which I owned and used for a few years starting in 2010. That was an APS-C lens, but Tamron…

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 Hollyland Lark M2 is perhaps the most compact wireless microphone system that I’ve ever seen, and yet it holds up the most important things like audio quality and range. It’s not a perfect system, but I’ve liked it well…
The Viltrox AF 56mm F1.7 is not an unknown commidity to me. I reviewed in on Fuji X-mount earlier this year, which is, frankly, the most challenging platform that I review lenses on for two reasons: 1) Fuji’s 40MP APS-C…

Ahhh, it is nice to be reviewing another Voigtländer lens! My last Voigtländer review was back in 2020, and it was actually a review of the APO-Lanthar 50mm F2 that a subscriber had personally loaned me because I had no…
