  • Review: Rokinon (Samyang) 8mm f/2.8 Fisheye (Fujifilm X-Mount)

    Rokinon is one of the many brand names that has been around for a while, though they don’t make their own lenses.  Today, they serve almost exclusively as a rebadger for Samyang optics.  Other brand names for Samyang lenses include Bower, Falcon, Pro-Optic and (sometimes) Vivitar.  Samyang has made some waves in the industry as…

    Sony A7 vs Fujifilm X-E2: RAW Noise Performance

    I have the Sony A7 and the FE 35mm f/2.8 in for review this week.  I’ve been enjoying shooting with the camera and will have my full reviews of both items coming up in the next week or so.  In the meantime, I’ve done a few tests here and there against Fuji’s X-E2 (read my…

  • Fujifilm X-E1 vs X-E2 – RAW Performance

    Fujifilm X-E1 vs X-E2 – RAW Performance

    In the second (and last) of my tests between the new Fujifilm X-E2 and X-E1, I take a look at the image quality over the ISO range in RAW, using Lightroom 5.3 RC.  I’d like to do the comparison in Capture One 7 (and I may revisit it later), but right now Capture One doesn’t…

  • Fuifilm X-E1 vs X-E2 – Write Performance

    One of the big questions with the release of the new Fujifilm X-E2 is whether existing X-E1 users should consider upgrading to the X-E2.  If you’ve read my review of the X-E2, you know that I feel that the improvements the X-E2 offers are substantial enough to warrant an upgrade, though this will vary for…

  • Review: Fujifilm X-E2

    Review: Fujifilm X-E2

    Fuji has released a rather large number of bodies in 2013, and they conclude the year by issuing their first X-Series upgraded camera, the X-E2.  When the X-E1 (reviewed here) was released only a little more than a year ago, it was the second entry in the X-System.  A scaled down X-Pro 1 without the optical…

  • Review: Fujifilm Fujinon XF 23mm f/1.4 R

    When Fujifilm first created the X-System, they came out of the gate with three outstanding prime lenses…a unique decision in today’s world where zooms are considered the bread and butter of a system, especially in the consumer market.  It set a note for what the X-System would become. As Fuji fleshed out the system, shooters…

  • Review: Metabones Speed Booster (Canon FD to Fuji X)

    Review: Metabones Speed Booster (Canon FD to Fuji X)

    After what was for many an excruciating wait, Metabones has released their generally well-regarded Speed Booster in Canon FD and Minolta MD mounts.  As someone with a rather extensive stable of FD lenses (thanks partly to my father), I was extremely excited by this news.  If you’re a frequent visitor to the site, you may…

  • Morning in the Gorge

    Morning in the Gorge

    This past weekend, I finally had some time to get out and do some proper shooting.  You know, where you get up early to catch the good light, you bring a tripod and really focus on the photography? I try to get out and shoot like this as often as I can, but given the…
