    Review: Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM

    It’s been a long, long break between articles, as I’ve been absolutely swamped at my day job, finding little time to shoot and even less time to write.  I have a backlog of thoughts and images to go through, and today I’m taking a look at Sony’s professional grade telezoom, the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8…

  • Shooting Golf with the Sony A9

    Shooting Golf with the Sony A9

    So, I had a chance to test out the new Sony A9 over the past week, and I’ll have a full review soon.  However, I wanted to share my experiences shooting with this new camera in an area where it may find a very strong following: Golf.  I took the camera, along with the 70-200mm…

  • Review: Sony FE 85mm f/1.8

    Review: Sony FE 85mm f/1.8

    The Sony full-frame E-Mount lens lineup is beginning to get crowded at the 85mm focal length, but Sony’s latest entry, the FE 85mm f/1.8, is the first to come in at a relatively affordable price: $598.  The lens joins the existing Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 ($1199), the Zeiss Loxia 85mm f/2.4 ($1399) and the Sony…

  • Review: Fujifilm Fujinon XF 50mm f/2 R WR

    Review: Fujifilm Fujinon XF 50mm f/2 R WR

    Today’s review: the new Fuji 50mm f/2 R WR. This is the third lens in Fuji’s new compact f/2 prime series, joining the 23mm f/2 and 35mm f/2.  All three of these lenses offer slower apertures than similar faster primes in the Fuji lineup, but Fujifilm has maintained high optical quality with these slower lenses,…

  • First Impressions – Sony FE 85mm f/1.8

    First Impressions – Sony FE 85mm f/1.8

    So, I just got my copy of the new FE 85mm f/1.8, and I’ll be putting it through the usual paces over the course of the next week or two, but I wanted to get out some initial impressions from my first day with the lens. This lens is the fourth 85mm lens created for…

  • Fuji 50mm f/2 vs. 56mm f/1.2

    Fuji 50mm f/2 vs. 56mm f/1.2

    Today I decided to do a quick test of the new 50mm f/2 compared to the excellent 56mm f/1.2.  The new 50mm f/2 is a compact, weather-resistant prime lens, while the older 56mm f/1.2 fills the class 85mm portrait focal length with an ultra-fast f/1.2 aperture.  Obviously, the 56mm f/1.2 will provide over one stop…

  • Review: Fujifilm X-T20

    Review: Fujifilm X-T20

    Hot on the heels of my (somewhat late) X-T2 review comes the review of its little brother, the X-T20. The X-T20 is the successor to Fuji’s X-T10, which was released almost two years ago.  The X-T10 proved to be a very capable body with nearly all the features of the X-T1 in a smaller package. The…

  • Review: Fujifilm X-T2

    Review: Fujifilm X-T2

    Fujifilm, after having been stuck with more or less the same sensor for around 4 years, has been updating their rather robust lineup with the new 24 Megapixel X-Trans III sensor.  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.…
