A Trip to Guatemala

Posted on October 20, 2018October 20, 2018 by Jordan Steele

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

Posted on August 23, 2018 by Jordan Steele

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!”…

A Trip to Pennsylvania

Posted on August 10, 2018 by Jordan Steele

I recently took a nice trip to Western Pennsylvania to visit with some of my wife’s family and do a few things with the kids.  We ended up going to the two big Frank Lloyd Wright houses in the area, Kentuck Knob and Fallingwater, as well as visiting Cucumber Falls in Ohiopyle State Park and…

Review: Voigtländer 40mm f/1.2 Nokton

Posted on July 24, 2018January 17, 2021 by Jordan Steele

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)

Posted on June 19, 2018July 24, 2018 by Jordan Steele

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

Posted on June 2, 2018June 2, 2018 by Jordan Steele

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

Posted on May 13, 2018December 12, 2020 by Jordan Steele

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…

Review: Sony A7 III

Posted on May 1, 2018June 26, 2018 by Jordan Steele

The Sony A7 full-frame mirrorless system has now been around for 4.5 years, and while the original A7 was replaced after just a year on the shelf, the A7 II has had much greater staying power. That model was announced in November of 2014, and has enjoyed a nice stay as the ‘basic model’ in…
