Review: Fujifilm X-T2

First up was last winter’s long-awaited X-Pro2, and then this past summer, Fuji moved to update their extremely popular X-T1 with the new X-T2.…

Review: Fujifilm Fujinon XF 23mm f/2 R WR
Today I’m taking a look at the second lens in Fuji’s compact f/2 prime range, the 23mm f/2 R WR. This lens joins the existing 35mm f/2 R WR, and recently announced 50mm f/2 R WR, creating a trio of small weathersealed lenses with good optical quality.

Review: Panasonic Leica 100-400mm f/4-6.3 DG Vario-Elmar OIS
Micro 4/3 has long been a great system for getting quite a bit of reach out of a small package, though pro-grade super-telephoto lenses have been missing from the system until this year.
