    Review: Nikon Nikkor Z 24-120mm f/4 S

    An f/4 standard zoom has been an essential part of any system’s lineup for several decades now. Canon had their FD 28-85mm f/4 from 1985.

    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.

    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.
