The Best Lenses – In My Experience
Last updated 2/10/24 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…

Review: Voigtländer 50mm f/2 APO-Lanthar
Today I’m reviewing the Voigtländer 50mm f/2 APO-Lanthar – an all manual lens for Sony E-Mount. In 2021, you wouldn’t think that fully manual lenses would be gaining much of a foothold in the photographic world, but Voigtländer has managed to create a wonderful line of E-Mount lenses that have been largely successful.

Review: Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD
Tamron has been in the lens business for a long time, having established itself as a major third-party player for SLR systems going back decades.

Review: Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN Art
Sigma has slowly morphed over the past several decades from a budget lens maker into one of the premier lens makers in the industry. Their Art series lenses have continually raised the bar for high quality, yet reasonably priced lenses, and their first few mirrorless-specific entries have also been outstanding.

Review: Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art (Sony E-Mount)
The 35mm landscape for the Sony E-Mount has a wide array of options to choose from, and it’s become even more crowded with the recent announcements of Sony’s long-awaited FE 35mm f/1.8, and Sigma’s brand-new ultra-fast 35mm f/1.2 FE, not to mention Tamron’s new 35mm f/2.8. However, at the fast f/1.4 aperture, there are three…

A Trip to Death Valley
This past week, I had the opportunity to head to southern California for my cousin’s wedding. After the wedding, I stuck around for a couple of days and drove up to Death Valley for some photography. I didn’t have a lot of time, just a day and a half, but tried to make the most…

A Fall Morning Along Tinker’s Creek
I had a chance to go out yesterday to a nice waterfall and stream nestled in the suburban sprawl of Cleveland, Ohio. Tinker’s Creek is one of the tributaries of the Cuyahoga River, and the falls are near where an old mill once stood. Despite the lack of rain in Ohio over the past month,…
