Review: Think Tank Retrospective 30 v2.0
As photographic companies are concerned, Think Tank is fairly young. The company was founded in 2005 and quickly rose to be one of the premier camera bag manufacturers. Taking on established companies like LowePro and Domke, they created products that have generally been well received. They recently revised their quite popular Retrospective line of bags,…

A Trip to Guatemala
I recently returned from a trip to Guatemala, where my brother-in-law was getting married and having a destination wedding. We brought the whole family along and spent 5 days in Antigua Guatemala, a historic city with wonderful architecture, loads of ruins from the earthquakes that rocked the area over the centuries, and friendly people. As…

Thoughts on the new Nikon Z6 and Z7
A Fourth Major Mirrorless System Nikon is the talk of the town today, with the Nikon Z6 and Nikon Z7 mirrorless full-frame bodies and a few lenses announced. The new Z Mount mirrorless system throws its hat in the ring as the fourth major mirrorless system. “But Jordan,” you say, “Canon has the EF-M system!”…

Review: Voigtländer 40mm f/1.2 Nokton
Voigtländer has been steadily releasing a rather full complement of lenses for the Sony E-Mount, from their ultra-wide 10mm and 12mm offerings, to the classic rendering 35mm f/1.4 to extremely high-end macro lenses like the 65mm f/2 and the new 110mm f/2.5. Today we’re looking at one of their newer designs, the Voigtländer 40mm f/1.2…

Review: Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD (Sony E-Mount)
As the full-frame Sony E-Mount system matures, the available lens selection has continued to grow year after year. While Sony and Zeiss have created a wide variety of lenses from 12mm through 400mm, third-party lens makers have yet to fully embrace the system, save perhaps for Voigtlander, which has released a fair few lenses for…

Review: Fujifilm Fujinon XF 80mm f/2.8 Macro R LM OIS WR
Fujifilm has developed an exceptionally robust lens lineup over the last several years, but the one area that had been lacking was in a true 1:1 macro lens. Fuji remedies this with their 80mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro, a lens with a slightly longer field of view than many macros, 1:1 magnification, an…

Review: Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM (Canon EF Mount) + MC-11
I don’t generally do reviews of Canon EF lenses, as I’ve been shooting mirrorless exclusively for the past 7 years. However, with the availability of EF to E-mount adapters, and the Sony system still being a little thin in some areas, there are Canon mount lenses that may potentially be great alternatives for use on…

A lot of nostalgia. This was my first body as well. Used with Tamron 17-50 🙂
I think it is near Hillsboro.
This article got me thinking… Why does Canon make RF S lenses starting with 18mm when most full frame RF…
Great review. I shoot Nikon and may try an old Nikon D200 and see how it compares with the new…
