Review: Sony FE 12-24mm f/4 G

Posted on February 9, 2019February 25, 2019 by Jordan Steele

Today I’m looking at Sony’s extreme wide-angle zoom, the 12-24mm f/4 G. As photography has progressed, more and more exotic lens designs have become possible.  Decades ago, a 24mm lens was considered extremely wide and 20mm was an almost unheard of ultra-wide angle.  Now, the standard ultra wide zoom starts at 16mm, and more exotic…

This has been a big year for the mirrorless industry, as the two big boys, Canon and Nikon have both thrown themselves into the Full-Frame mirrorless world to give Sony some competition.  The EOS R is Canon’s first entry into this space, and it comes with their new RF mirrorless mount.  Canon made some very…

Review: Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art (Sony E Mount)

Posted on November 11, 2018February 12, 2021 by Jordan Steele

Sigma has recently jumped into the full-frame E-Mount system by creating new native E-Mount versions of many of their very well received Art series lenses. Today I’m looking at one of those well regarded lenses, the Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG Art for Sony E-Mount. The Sigma 135mm f/1.8 is a monster of a lens, with…

Review: Fujifilm XF10

Posted on October 29, 2018October 29, 2018 by Jordan Steele

Fujifilm’s X Series has become a fairly nice success for the company, with the interchangeable lens camera system continuing to grow and improve. However, Fujifilm’s digital renaissance really began with the X100, a relatively compact prime-lens compact with an APS-C sensor. That camera’s legacy lives on with the X100F, but Fujifilm continues to experiment with…

Review: Think Tank Retrospective 30 v2.0

Posted on October 28, 2018October 2, 2019 by Jordan Steele

As photographic companies are concerned, Think Tank is fairly young. The company was founded in 2005 and quickly rose to be one of the premier camera bag manufacturers. Taking on established companies like LowePro and Domke, they created products that have generally been well received. They recently revised their quite popular Retrospective line of bags,…

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…

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!”…
