The Lensmate thumb grip is a great accessories for the Fujifilm X100F that provides extra grip and support for the camera. It gives your thumb a place to sit and allows the camera to sit more securely in the hand which improves camera stability, comfort and ergonomics.

Nikon D850 vs Sony A7rII – Sensor Comparison

  • Alik Griffin
  • January 8, 2024
  • 2 comments
You've probably seen a lot of comparisons between the Nikon D850 and the Sony A7rII or A7rIII these last few weeks, comparing sensor sharpness, dynamic range or low light performance. But they often make one critical mistake, they don't use the same lens. So to compare both cameras, I wanted to use the same lens. To do this, I employed an old and very sharp Helios 44-4 58mm lens that I have adapted to both cameras and shot using the exact same settings.

I finally decided to buy the exquisite Fujifilm 90mm f2 and have been testing it thoroughly around town and at the pumpkin patch with the kids. I have to say, this thing is amazing and is one of Fujifilms best lenses in my opinion. Everything about it is just incredible.

Beverly Hills – The Last Oasis

Wow, ok, so let me talk about Beverly Hills for a little bit since I live fairly close to this place. Actually, my wife works down the street from here and while she was working last Saturday, I decided to take a walk with the stroller so my little 2-year-old could take a nap - this is where I ended up.

Fujifilm 14mm f2.8 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 11, 2025
  • 4 comments
The Fujinon 14mm f2.8 is one of Fujifilms oldest (of the modern) lenses, it's slow and noisy with a stepping motor focus system, but optics are everything and this 14mm captures some incredible images for both landscape photographers or those just looking to have a little fun with an ultra-wide.

GoPro Hero6 vs Hero5 | A Huge Improvement!

  • Alik Griffin
  • July 31, 2018
  • No comments
When comparing the GoPro Hero5 to the Hero6, on the outside it doesn't look like much has changed. Even looking at the specs, it doesn't seem like there are any huge updates after this one year cycle. Higher frame rate and video stability at 4k are not that big of a deal to a lot of people, especially if you already have a Karma Grip. However, when you get both cameras and put them side-by-side, you'll immediately notice huge improvements with the Hero6! Huge! I'll list just a few.

Fujifilm X100F Lens Hood Review – JJC LH-JX100 II

  • Alik Griffin
  • January 18, 2025
  • 14 comments
The Fujifilm X100F, or any of the X100 series of cameras, is one of the best cameras out there to customize with different accessories. This allows people to really build a camera unique to their taste of fashion or style of shooting.  Lens hoods are a popular accessory for the X100f and there is a new one that got released around the same time as the X100F. That's the JJCLC-JX100 II.
