About AlikGriffin.com
Today Alikgriffin.com is a photography blog that has been publishing lens and camera reviews for over a decade. The site also focuses on memory card benchmarks where memory cards are tested with various cameras to find the buffer and speed tests. Also very popular on the site is the lens lists, where every lens for the various mirrorless brands is cataloged and sorted by brand, availability, and specs.
AlikGriffin.com was formed as an information hub to get to the bottom of the technical details about cameras, lenses, or even memory cards to allow readers to understand what they are buying and to help give them confidence in purchasing decisions with facts from detailed experiments.
Memory Cards Tests
AlikGriffin.com was the first blog to benchmark every popular memory card in every popular camera. Even today this provides readers with details about how each card performed in a particular camera. Not all memory cards or cameras are the same and these tests proved to be very valuable for the community.
Lens Reviews
Lens reviews on AlikGriffin.com take a different approach than what’s common online. Not only are the technical characteristics of lenses looked at in detail, but also a lot of attention is placed on the art and character of the lenses. These reviews focus on one of the most overlooked attributes of lenses today, do the images look good, or are the lenses just sharp?
Camera Accessories
The third focus of this blog is on accessories. Cameras are cool gadgets and to many people, photography is a hobby. Having fun accessories that personalize cameras or lenses can help make photography fun and keep shooters motivated.
Each camera is then looked at as a unique tool so that the best accessories can be recommended for that camera. For example, Sony screens tend to bubble up over time from all the micro impacts that happen throughout the life of the camera. With Sony mirrorless cameras, it’s often better to go with a thicker screen protector which will preserve the life of the camera.
Lens List
The lens list features all the available official lenses and third-party lenses available for each brand of camera. For example, the Canon RF lens list features all the lenses available for the Canon RF system, and the Nikon Z lens list features all available lenses in the Z mount, this includes all the various third-party brands.
