Nikon 50mm f1.4 + Tiffen Pro-Mist 1/4 Filter Samples

I’ve been shooting a bit on the Nikon 50mm f1.4 lately and trying to figure out where this lens fits in my kit, and I have finally formulated my opinions on it. At first, I wasn’t in love with it like I was with the Nikon 35mm f1.4, which immediately felt so classic compared to…

Nikon Z 35mm f1.4 vs 35mm f1.8 S – Sample Images

I’ve been shooting a bit with the 35mm f1.4 lately and am already in love with the lens. It’s not perfect; it’s not an S lens, which in this case means it’s missing the ED elements, the Nano Crystal coating and has a different rendering (which I will demonstrate in this comparison), but for the…

In my search for meaningful reasons to upgrade from the X100V to the X100VI (besides just IBIS), I’ve tested the two cameras to compare how much more detail the 40MP sensor provides over the 26MP sensor. By going with the 40MP, Fujifilm also had to incorporate IBIS to resolve an APS-C sensor at that resolution.…
Best MicroSD Cards GoPro Hero13 Black

GoPro lists official memory cards supported by its cameras. Originally, they did this because the firmware on their cameras had many compatibility issues, and using the wrong memory card could result in crashes, corrupted files, and battery drain even when the camera is powered off. Today, it’s not much of an issue, and with the…

Following behind the Nikon Z 35mm f1.4 – one of my favorite Nikon lenses today – Nikon continues with this trend and releases another affordable weather-sealed f1.4 prime lens. What Nikon is doing here is amazing: top-tier f1.8 S lenses for perfection, or close to it, then affordable f1.4 lenses for more creative artistry where…
