Pergear 35mm f1.6 Impressions | Better Than Expected

  • Alik Griffin
  • March 29, 2024
  • 5 comments
Over the next few months, I'm going to be taking a look at the Pergear lenses for the APS-C camera systems. One of my favorite cheap lenses of all time is the Meike 35m f1.7 so I'm curious to see what else out there is similar, and can we do better.  This brings us to the Pergear 35mm f1.6 - A pretty dang cool lens so far.

  • Alik Griffin
  • February 18, 2026
  • 20 comments
The Nikon Z 85mm f1.8 S is an extremely versatile lightweight, yet affordable 85mm f1.8 prime lens. This lens was designed for both photographers and videographers in mind with useful video features like silent focusing and no focus breathing but also a weather-sealed single barrel construction with all internal focusing elements and dual focus motors for improved close focusing capabilities.

Dedicated Capture One Version For Nikon

  • Alik Griffin
  • September 6, 2021
  • No comments
Capture One Pro is on sale right now for almost the same cost as the camera dedicated versions. Check that out here at B&H photo. You could buy this now and have support for all the different brands, but keep in mind Capture One does make you pay for future updates. So you might have to spend a little money in the future to unlock the upcoming Nikon profiles and support. But maybe not.
