Review: Fujifilm Fujinon XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR
The past year has seen Fujifilm release several new high-quality lenses. The latest is the Fuji 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR. While the Fuji X-Series has had a relatively fast standard zoom for a few years now, with the 18-55mm f/2.8-4, the 16-55mm fills the need for a constant f/2.8 zoom with a wider 16mm…

Review: Samsung 16-50mm f/2-2.8 S ED OIS
Samsung has been somewhat stealthily building a fairly strong lens lineup for their NX cameras over the past few years, and today I’m taking a look at what is often the core lens in a high-end lens lineup: the fast standard zoom. Samsung’s 16-50mm f/2-2.8 joins an elite group of standard zooms for interchangeable lens…

Review: Samsung NX1
Samsung. It’s not a brand that one typically associates with high-end photographic gear, but rather all manner of other electronics products such as televisions and now smartphones. But as they’ve done with smartphones and televisions, Samsung has proven the ability to make a splash in new industries and not only compete, but dominate. Samsung entered…

Review: Sony 35mm f/1.8 OSS
Sony’s APS-C lens lineup has grown steadily over the past several years with several quality prime lenses. One of those lenses is the Sony 35mm f/1.8 OSS. Almost every camera system in the world has a relatively fast ‘normal’ lens, that is a lens that has a focal length similar to the length of the…

Review: Fujifilm 11mm Extension Tube MCEX-11
Fuji surprised the market by releasing something that is both the first of its kind and something that people have been waiting for since the beginning of mirrorless: Native OEM extension tubes. It’s surprising to me that it took 6 years for the first original equipment manufacturer to create extension tubes for their system. In November 2014, Fuji…

Review: Sony A7II
It’s been about a year since Sony shook up the mirrorless industry with the release of the full-frame A7 and A7r. They followed up with a low-light king, the A7s, in the summer, and now the original A7 sees a refresh with the A7II – a camera that is largely about refining the A7 brand,…

Review: Carl Zeiss FE 16-35mm f/4 Vario-Tessar ZA OSS
As Sony expands their full frame mirrorless lineup, the system as a whole becomes more complete, and one of the key pieces of that more encompassing lineup is the first native ultra-wide-angle lens. In this case, it’s the Carl Zeiss 16-35mm f/4 OSS, which covers a great range in a pro-grade lens for Sony’s E-Mount.…

Review: Fujifilm Fujinon XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR
Fujifilm’s X-Series interchangeable lens system has only been around for a bit less than three years, and in that time, they’ve managed to put together a rather impressive lens lineup. However, missing from that lineup until recently are pro-grade fast zoom lenses. While the fast standard zoom is set to be released in 2015, Fuji…
