Review: Fujifilm Fujinon XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS
Fujifilm has been hard at work the past two years in fleshing out their new X-series mirrorless system. While the current system only consists of eight Fujinon lenses and two Zeiss lenses, Fuji has done a great job at building a complete system very quickly. One of the latest additions is the company’s second zoom…

Review: Zeiss Touit 12mm f/2.8 Distagon (Fuji X-Mount)
Carl Zeiss, AG has been one of the premier optics companies for over 150 years. The name is synonymous with optical quality, and their lenses carry high expectations.

Review: Fujifilm Fujinon XF 14mm f/2.8 R
When the X-series of mirrorless cameras from Fujifilm launched last year, it began with three prime lenses: an 18mm f/2, a 35mm f/1.4 and a 60mm f/2.4 Macro. This gave the system a nice base to start with, and provided three very high quality primes for the serious photographer. Later last year, Fuji expanded the…

Fuji is a relative newcomer to the mirrorless game, and they’ve taken a different strategy than the other players in this market.

Review: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3
After a quite long two-year wait, Panasonic has updated their flagship Micro 4/3 camera, and they’ve upgraded almost every single item on the camera. This fall, the new DMC-GH3 was announced and cameras first started becoming available a few months ago. Panasonic is positioning the GH3 as the ultimate top end Micro 4/3 body, with…

Review: Olympus 15mm f/8 Body Cap Lens
This past fall, Olympus announced a rather interesting lens…the smallest lens yet for the Micro 4/3 system, and one of the smallest interchangeable lenses ever made. This optic? The 15mm f/8 body cap lens. This tiny lens/body cap is classified by Olympus as an “accessory” rather than a true lens, and the lens doesn’t carry…

Review: Sony DSC-RX100
Sony has been making a splash recently with its small camera offerings. While I’ve never previously been a fan of Sony’s compact digital cameras due to their horrible sensors, they’ve done some amazing things with their SLRs and later their excellent NEX line of cameras. Now Sony is finally bringing their class leading sensor technology…
