Nikon Z 35mm F1.8 S Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • July 23, 2024
  • 33 comments
The Nikon Z 35mm f1.8 S features a partly aluminum and plastic construction, combined with the dust and weather-resistant design and a bright f1.8 aperture, that all come together to make this one of the best do-it-all lenses for travel or daily use. This 35mm also features a nearly silent stepping motor internal focusing system with no focus breathing which is great for the videographer. Overall the Nikkor Z 35mm f1.8 has a fantastic balance between form and function and will deliver amazing results in any situation.

Nikon Z – The Best System For Manual Lenses?

  • Alik Griffin
  • December 26, 2024
  • 6 comments
What's it like using manual focus lenses on the Z6?  Pretty good actually. I use to always like shooting manual the most on Fujifilm cameras because they had such nice focus peaking compared to my Sony cameras. But the Z6 has even a bigger advantage over any Sony or Fujifilm cameras that makes it even better. Bigger, and higher quality LCD screens, plus at the time the Nikon Z6 had one of the best EVFs so it's incredibly easy to see what you're doing.

Nikon Z7 Eye AF Better Than Sony A7rIV

  • Alik Griffin
  • January 21, 2022
  • 7 comments
The other day Jared Polin posted one of his Eye AF tests, and I was blown away at how well the Nikon Z7 kept up. I always thought the Z7 was much further behind based on what everyone has said about that camera. This test shows something else.

The Canon R5 is the latest and greatest of the high megapixel cameras with some pretty impressive features on both the stills and video fronts. While Canon's latest sensor looks to have caught up to the competition what about their video?

Sony A7sIII | Amazing Camera But . . .

  • Alik Griffin
  • February 7, 2026
  • 10 comments
The Sony A7SIII was just announced and for the videographer, it's pretty jaw-dropping. Everything everyone has been asking for has been addressed.  They've improved the bitrate, improved the frame rate, 10-bit 4:2:2 internal, it has the nice body of the Sony A7rIV, dual SD and CFexpress type A card slots, improved the IBIS (a little ), improved the dynamic range and the sensor readout speeds. What more could you want? I'll tell you.

Pergear 50mm f1.8 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 16, 2024
  • 13 comments
The Pergear 50mm f1.8 is an all manual all-metal, compact 50mm APS-C lens with a 75mm equivalent field of view. This lens produces a classic rendering with great micro-contrast and some very impressive sharpness, no distortion, and almost no vignetting. It's a great street lens or portrait lens especially for photographers looking to take advantage of lens flares and blooms.
