Yongnuo’s New AF 50mm f1.8 Lenses For Sony APS-C
DSLR shooters are probably aware of the Yongnuo lenses that were insanely popular for those full-frame DSLR systems. Yongnuo was one of the first cheap Chinese lens companies out there and they offered some great value with their lenses.
Now they've directed their attention to mirrorless with this new 50mm f1.8 lens for the Sony APS-C mount.
Nikon Z 50mm f1.8 S Lens Review & Sample Photos
The Nikon 50mm f1.8 S was one of Nikon's first lenses for the Z mount system and it has been designed to cater to the hybrid shooter who wants a single lens that can do anything. Video, landscape, wedding, portrait, or even street photography. While the f1.8 aperture isn't exciting for a lot of people, the versatility makes it a great place to start when building out a new kit.
The lens is weather-sealed, has a silent stepping motor focusing system with very little focus breathing. It's very well corrected, incredibly sharp with a very manageable size and weight.
Fujifilm Officially Opens Up To Third-Party Lenses

The MAGIC Lens | Fujifilm XF35mm f1.4 + X-Pro 3
My good friend Alex reviewed the Fujifilm XF35mm f1.4. If you want to see him use the lens casually on the streets of Japan, it's a very cool video and just super chill. I think you guys will like his content since there just aren't a lot of people that make videos in this format.
You know, normal people that are not setting up ridiculous experiments only to make things fail so that they can complain. :)
Larger Than Life | Fujifilm X100V + Godox TT685F
In my free time I've been experimenting with the different features and capabilities of the Fujifilm X100V.
Since the X100V can now focus and maintain great detail very close with the leaf shutter that can sync with pretty much any flash at any shutter speed, it leaves the door open for some fun and easy experimentation.
The DPReview Camera Pre-Amp Test Controversy | Updated
Time and time again we were told that the Z6 pre-amps suck by Jordan at DPreview and that the A7III was always the camera of choice. Then DPreview always says the X-T3 pre-amps are pretty good but I've actually always found them to have issues.
So now in this recent video, we see the complete opposite of what Jordan has been saying and now people are pissed. Many people avoided the Z6 simply because the pre-amps were so bad according to DPreview, and literally this audio engineered found the complete opposite results.
But here are some more details as to what is likely happening.
