Review: Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary (Sony E-Mount)

Posted on August 24, 2019August 28, 2019 by Jordan Steele

Sigma has had two distinct strategies when it comes to mirrorless lenses.  On the full-frame side, they simply ported their DSLR lenses to Sony E-Mount (and later the L-mount) by basically building in their mount adapter logic into the lens and extending a tube to make up the flange distance, though this is beginning to…

Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 vs Sony/Zeiss 16-35mm f/4

Posted on July 28, 2019February 26, 2021 by Jordan Steele

Tamron just released their brand new 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD lens for Sony E-Mount, and it’s a very intriguing offer from Tamron.  The lens retails for $899, which is $450 cheaper than the Sony/Zeiss 16-35mm f/4 OSS that is involved in this comparison, and a whopping $1,300 less than the equal aperture (but wider…

Paradise in Ohio

Posted on June 14, 2019 by Jordan Steele

Landscape photographers regularly try to seek out new locations to capture natural beauty.  If you live somewhere where natural beauty is in abundance, you may have countless locations to explore.  In other areas, natural beauty may be confined to widely spaced pockets, and it can be challenging to find new locations that scratch that itch…

Review: Fujifilm Fujinon XF 16mm f/2.8 R WR

Posted on June 1, 2019 by Jordan Steele

Fujifilm has done a wonderful job filling out the lenses for their X-mount camera system since it’s beginning in 2012.  Among my personal favorites have been the more recent compact f/2 series lenses, that many have dubbed the “Fujicron” lenses, as a nod to the high quality, super small Leica Summicron lenses. These include the…

Review: Sony a6400

Posted on April 7, 2019April 7, 2019 by Jordan Steele

With Sony’s recent emphasis on full-frame cameras and lenses, many users of Sony’s original APS-C E-mount cameras have begun to feel a bit left out. While Sony still has a long way to go with regards to native APS-C lens selection, the APS-C camera line got another injection of technology with the brand-new a6400.  While…

My Favorite Photos of 2018

Posted on March 23, 2019March 23, 2019 by Jordan Steele

We’re three months into 2019, and I usually post my Favorite Photos of the Year in late December or early January, but I missed it this year.  Still, I’ve done a collection of my favorite photos of the year each year since I founded this site in 2012, and I didn’t want to miss is…

Review: Voigtländer 21mm f/3.5 Color-Skopar (Sony E-mount)

Posted on March 4, 2019August 29, 2019 by Jordan Steele

I mentioned it when I reviewed Voigtländer’s excellent 40mm f/1.2:  Voigtländer has been killing it of late.  Cosina has managed to take a brand that had been dormant for a while, and resurrect it with a wide variety of unique manual focus lenses for both Leica M mount and now Sony E-Mount.  Today’s reviewed lens,…

The Best Lenses – In My Experience

Posted on February 25, 2019February 14, 2021 by Jordan Steele

Last updated 2/14/21 What lens is best? I get asked this all the time, and there’s never really a right answer. “Best for what?” is what I usually reply, as the answer will depend on what the photographer wants to accomplish, what their budget is and what is important to them. Everyone will have a…
