Hands-On: Fujifilm Booth: 35mm f/2 WR, 1.4x TC

Posted on October 22, 2015 by Jordan Steele

Fuji has had a pretty quiet PhotoPlus announcement list, with only two new products being announced ahead of the show: the compact XF 35mm f/2 WR and the new 1.4x teleconverter.  I had hands on with both products for a short while. XF 35mm f/2 WR The 35mm f/2 WR is the little brother to…

Sony RX1R II It’s not a huge event for Sony this year, but for serious shooters, two new cameras stand out.  First, there’ the new Sony RX1R Mark II, which updates the original RX1 with the same 42 megapixel sensor found…

The Sliding Scale of Camera Capabilities

Posted on September 6, 2015September 6, 2015 by Jordan Steele

Photography is and always has been a two-sided coin of artistic endeavors.  There’s the artistic component, from which the beauty of photographic concept is derived; where the photographers vision of the world around them is realized in a static frame.  Then there’s the technical side: the process, the equipment, the optics, the developing (which is…

Fuji 56mm f/1.2 vs. Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 vs. Contax G 90mm f/2.8

Posted on August 28, 2015August 31, 2015 by Jordan Steele

Today we have a quick battle of portrait lenses.  Two of them are current mirrorless portrait primes, both of which are extremely highly regarded.  The third lens is a rangefinder lens from the 1990s that is still considered to be an utterly phenomenal optic. The battle: Fuji 56mm f/1.2 vs. Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 vs….

Sony A7R II vs. A7 II – Print Test

Posted on August 14, 2015August 23, 2015 by Jordan Steele

I just got the new Sony A7R Mark II in for review today, and I’ve only had a few hours to mess around with it.  This is an exciting camera that packs a lot of great features, including a 42 MP sensor into a small package.  There are a lot of great things to discuss…

Macro Battle: Sony 90mm vs Olympus 60mm vs Fuji 60mm

Posted on July 12, 2015August 20, 2015 by Jordan Steele

So, a quick and fun little comparison for today.  I have the new Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro in for review this week, and should have that review up in the next few days.  So with one excellent macro lens in for review, I thought it would be fun to do a very quick and…

First Impressions: Fujifilm X-T10

Posted on June 26, 2015June 26, 2015 by Jordan Steele

I just got the new Fuji X-T10 in for review today, and I’ll be shooting with it for the next week or two, getting to know the ins and outs.  For X-T1 owners who are thinking of a smaller, cheaper second body, or for those who like most of what the X-T1 has to offer,…

Sony Zeiss FE 35mm f/1.4 vs. Fuji XF 23mm f/1.4

Posted on May 8, 2015May 12, 2015 by Jordan Steele

Ok, so this is one of those comparisons that really isn’t particularly fair.  You’ve got a $1,600 Zeiss prime up against a $900 Fuji prime, and the test bed cameras aren’t the same resolution.  There are lots of problems with testing like this, but I’m going to do it anyway.  Why?  It’s fun!  Today I’m…
