Kamlan 50mm f1.1 sample

A Walk In The Park | Kamlan 50mm f1.1

I've picked up a few new lenses this year and it seems like I now have an endless option of focal lengths, looks, and types of lenses to choose from. For the first time, I think I might have a lens for just about everything. - Well except for zoom lenses. I just can't stand them and can't see buying any more than what I already have. I know that sounds crazy and that I'm spending all this money, but most of these lenses I'm buying are under 200 bucks.

Kamlan 50mm f1.1 Review & Sample Photos

The KamLan 50mm f1.1 lens is a super fast manual focus lens by Sainsonic for mirrorless cameras. It's designed to be a very inexpensive specialty lens with extremely shallow depth of field with buttery smooth bokeh. This is achieved by a f1.1 aperture with 12 circular aperture blades. Its simple design with a low element count makes this lens shoot and behave more like a retro lens with extreme characteristics.

Baby On The Deck | Fujifilm 35mm f1.4

It's sometimes fun to take the most mundane moments in the day and try to see if you can make anything interesting out of them with photography. Often as photographers we get stuck thinking we need to travel to capture life's great and unique moments, not realizing we all live as part of our own unique culture and it's around us everyday even in our own back yard - in my case, a one bedroom apartment and a deck in West Los Angeles.

Nikon D850 vs Sony A7rII - Sensor Sharpness Comparison

Nikon D850 vs Sony A7rII – Sensor Comparison

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.

Fujifilm 90mm f2 | Lifestyle Photography

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.

Santa Monica Pier Shot On 14mm

Fujifilm 14mm f2.8 Review & Sample Photos

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.

Hands On The Helios 44M-7

I've been shooting with and collecting quite a few of these old retro M42 screw mount lenses and now own four of the Russian made Helios lenses. The addiction is real!

Canon 6D II Review | This Beauty Is A Beast!

The Canon 6D Mark II is the new "entry-level" full frame camera from Canon and it's a beast! Shooting with the 6DII was the most fun I've had with a full frame camera in a long time. Partly because of its full frame sensor, partly because the camera has a lot of great features that you just don't find in many full frame cameras, like the vari-angle touch screen.
