Review: Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM
Today I’m looking at another lens from Sony’s new G Master series of professional-grade optics, the FE 85mm f/1.4 GM. This is the only prime currently in the GM series of lenses, and fills a need for many professional shooters, providing a very fast f/1.4 aperture in the classic 85mm focal length. The FE 24-70mm…

Review: Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM
Early this year, Sony announced three new members of a new lens line, the “G Master” line, to denote top end professional grade lenses.

Review: Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN (Sony E-Mount)
A few years back, Sigma made some waves with the release of three very affordable, but moderate aperture prime lenses for mirrorless cameras.

Review: Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS
Today I’m taking a look at one of the first FE lenses released for the system, the FE 70-200mm f/4 G OSS. Until the recent announcement of the new G Master 70-200mm f/2.8, this lens was the only option for a native telephoto zoom lens for full-frame E-Mount. It fills the classic telephoto zoom range…

Review: Fujifilm Fujinon XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR
Fujifilm continues the fleshing out of their already impressive lens lineup with their first supertelephoto offering: the Fujinon XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR. This telephoto zoom has an angle of view similar to a 150-600mm lens on a full-frame camera, providing some serious reach for the Fuji X-Series cameras. The $1,899 asking price…
