Review: Sigma 19mm f/2.8 EX DN
Sigma has been around for over 50 years, and they’ve been primarily known as a third-party manufacturer of SLR lenses, though they’ve also made their own SLR cameras and some high end compact cameras as well. Over the past decade, they’ve started to make some very high-end glass. Recently, they dipped their toes into the…

Review: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 35-100mm f/2.8 X OIS
Panasonic and Olympus have been very busy the past few years, filling out their lens lineups for Micro 4/3, and while there have been some consumer grade lenses released in this time frame, both Olympus and Panasonic have really targeted the high-end enthusiast and professional with their recent lens offerings. At first, Micro 4/3 had…

Review: Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8 Macro
Quite a while back, Olympus hinted at their first true macro lens for Micro 4/3…the 60mm f/2.8. It’s taken a while to come to market, but it finally saw official release this past September. I was lucky enough to pick one up shortly thereafter. Olympus priced this lens competitively, at $499, coming in well under…

Review: Sony NEX-7
The Sony NEX-7 has been out for quite a while now, but it still sits atop the NEX line of mirrorless Compact System Cameras in the flagship position. It features a 24 megapixel APS-C sensor in a very tiny body, and for many people was somewhat of a ‘holy grail’ camera when it was released…

Review: Voigtländer Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95
There are fast lenses, and then there are FAST lenses. The Voigtländer Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 definitely falls into the latter category. In fact, at f/0.95, it ties with a few other lenses, including its 25mm Micro 4/3 brother, as the fastest lens currently produced for an interchangeable lens camera. Faster lenses have been made, but they have…

Review: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 X OIS
Panasonic Goes Pro When the Panasonic Lumix 12-35mm f/2.8 X lens was first shown off as a ‘concept lens’ with its still yet to be announced 35-100mm brother (reviewed here) in August of last year, serious photographers who used the Micro 4/3 system started to lick their chops. It took a while, but the lens was…

Review: HLD-6 – OM-D Battery Grip
Today I’m going to take an in-depth look at a camera accessory. Most of the time, these sorts of things are evaluated with a quick blurb and then consumers are left to sift through forums or Amazon reviews to get an idea of the worth of a product. I think for the accessories that really…
