    Review: Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM

    Canon was the first lens maker to create an 85mm lens with a giant f/1.2 aperture, way back in 1976 with the release of the FD 85mm f/1.2 S.S.C. Aspherical. Since then, they’ve had an 85mm f/1.2 continuously in their stable, with the slightly revised FD 85mmf /1.2L, then the two revisions of the EF…

    Review: Nikon Z7 II

    So, after dabbling in the DSLR realm once again with my Nikon D750, I wanted to begin reviewing Nikon Z lenses and bodies. I’m starting with Nikon’s Z7 II, a camera that has had a mixed reception since release, but offers a compelling combination of features and very high image quality at a reasonable price.…

    Revisiting the DSLR – Is Mirrorless Really Better?

    If you’ve been following my site since around the time I started it up in 2012, you’ll know I was a very early adopter of mirrorless cameras.

    A Tripod in the Sky – DJI Air 2S Review

    I’ve reviewed a lot of gear on this site, but I’ve never strayed too far from traditional photography, with a focus on camera bodies, lenses, etc. I’ve focused on the process of some things, my recent foray back into film shooting, and more.

    Autumn in West Virginia

    Well, it’s been a long time since my last post, and that’s mostly because I’ve been pretty swamped at my day job. I’ve had a fairly small amount of time to shoot in the past two months, and even less time to write. I do have a few more articles in the pipeline that are…
