Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG DN ART Review (A2023)
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…

Sony a7RV (ILCE-7RM5) Review
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…

Sigma 60-600mm F4.5-6.3 DG DN OS Sport Review
It’s hard to believe that just a few short years ago the primary complaint on the Sony platform was a lack of telephoto options. Sony was the first to address the problem with the 200-600G (my review here), but then…

TTArtisan 35mm F0.95 Review and Gallery
TTArtisan has continued to surprise me with lenses that in some way exceed my expectations. Whether it was a surprisingly sharp full frame fisheye lens, a shockingly competent macro lens that cost right over $100, or tiny little prime lenses…
7Artisans Spectrum 85mm T2 Cine Lens Review
I’ve previously spent time reviewing 5 different 7Artisans lenses, most all of them relatively inexpensive manual-everything lenses designed for APS-C and smaller sensors. But recently the company reached out to me and asked about the possibility of my reviewing a…
Tamron 20-40mm F2.8 VXD (A062) Review
Japanese lensmaker Tamron has had an epiphany: rather than just produce less expensive alternatives to first party lenses they could instead forge their own path and open up new market share for themselves by thinking outside the box. Tamron has…

Brightin Star 16mm F2.8 Review (M-Mount via Techart)
Brightin Star is one of many startup lens companies that is trying to make a name for themselves. I’ve reviewed a couple of their lenses previously, starting with a budget wide angle 12mm F2 for APS-C (my review here) and…
Laowa 58mm F2.8 APO 2x Macro Review
It was just a few months back that Laowa built on the foundation of the excellent Laowa 100mm F2.8 APO 2x Macro with a new and improved lens specifically designed for mirrorless mounts in the form of the Laowa 90mm…
Tamron 50-400mm F4.5-6.3 VC VXD Review (A067)
Tamron has another game changer. This is how I felt about the Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 VXD zoom because it blurred the traditional F2.8 zoom focal ranges (24-70mm and 70-200mm) while also providing a larger than typical maximum aperture. I gave…

TTArtisan 50mm F2 Review and Gallery
It was just a few months ago that I was reviewing a much more extreme instrument from TTArtisan – the 50mm F0.95. That lens was designated for use on APS-C, but it did a reasonable job of covering the full…
