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…
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,…
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…
I’ve written in the past about adapting old manual focus lenses to mirrorless cameras, something that I think that most everyone should try out from time to time. With the release of Sony’s full-frame mirrorless cameras, using old manual focus lenses becomes even easier, as these lenses were designed for a 35mm frame, and so…

The X100T…
I just received the Olympus E-M5 Mark II in for review today, and I’ve only had a few hours to shoot so far. However, like anyone interested in this camera, the very first thing I had to test was the 40 megapixel Hi-Res mode. The E-M5 Mark II has a feature that shifts the sensor…
Ahh, tripods. Those stalwart things from times of yore, still fundamentally the same as those used over a hundred years ago. Of course, the materials have changed, the heads have improved dramatically, and there’s more choice than ever before. A lot of people, especially newer shooters with small kits, don’t want to carry around a…
Fuji’s brand new pro-grade standard zoom, the XF 16-55mm f/2.8 WR, has just been released. It’s a fast weathersealed lens that promises excellent optical quality at a premium price. Fuji has two other standard zoom lenses, and for those considering the 16-55mm, there has been much thought about how much of an improvement can be…
