Brightin Star 50mm f1.4 Review & Samples

  • Alik Griffin
  • March 29, 2024
  • 22 comments
The Brightin Star is a 50mm f1.4 full frame all metal, all manual prime lens. The lens comes in various mounts, and while being designed for full-frame cameras, it performs very well on APS-C cameras. With the excellent build quality and the fast f1.4 aperture and great overall performance, the lens is an excellent choice for someone looking to try out the 50mm prime focal length as long as they're willing to work within the limitations.

The Fujifilm X-Pro 3 Is Trash!

As you guys know, I love my X-Pro2, I'll probably buy an X-Pro3, but one of my hobbies is to always point out and share how dumb and bias pretty much all online reviews are, except for mine of course! :)

The Best Camera Is? – Sony vs Canon vs Nikon vs Fujifilm

  • Alik Griffin
  • March 9, 2025
  • 44 comments
I get this question a lot so I thought I would just throw it into a blog post. Surprisingly a lot of the people that are asking me are always considering either the X-T3 or the Z6. But Canon has a lot of potentials and Sony should still be considered a strong choice.  As someone that has all the systems and shoots with them each regularly, I’ll tell you what I know and hopefully, some of this will apply to your situation. This is really hard, but I'll do my best to be as honest as possible.

Sigma fp First Impressions | A Long Way To Go

  • Alik Griffin
  • March 29, 2024
  • 4 comments
The Sigma FP is a really cool concept that has a lot of potentials, and I'm excited to see where they take it, but it's just still got a long way to go. Lockups, bugs, crazy exposure, terrible display, terrible touch screen interface, cumbersome UI, photos not showing up after taking shots. Here are my first impressions of the Sigma FP.

Kamlan 50mm f1.1 II Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • January 18, 2025
  • 55 comments
The Kamlan is an ultra-fast full manual all-metal constructed 50mm f1.1 lens designed for the APS-C mount. The fast f1.1 aperture with the 75mm equivalent focal length produces some very shallow depth of field that is great for portrait photography. The lens also maintains a wide-open sharpness even at far distances making it a great choice for low light photography.

Kamlan 50mm f1.1 II | A Huge Improvement

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 22, 2024
  • 17 comments
When I first saw the announcement of the Kamlan 50mm f1.1 version II, I was a bit skeptical and ultimately not interested. The first one was just a swing and missed and unfortunately made me a little skeptical about Kamlan as a brand even though their build quality is always stellar. Then I saw a few images of this new version II lens. Kamlan totally changed it up with a completely new design improving the one thing that would make a huge difference.
