Sony A7r II A Quick Look At Diffraction
Now that the Sony A7r II has 42 megapixels of madness, it’s a good idea to look at how it handles diffraction with a few lenses. The consensus is that your aperture and megapixel count will impact your image detail due to diffraction. Shooting higher apertures like f16-f22 will result in softer images vs shooting…

Samsung NX1 – My First Impressions
The Samsung NX1 is Samsung’s 28-megapixel APS-C camera. It features one of the most advanced APS-C sensors in a camera to date and seems to outperform the competition in almost every way, so I rented one for a week.

A Few Days With The Olympus E-M5 ii
The Olympus E-M5 II has been one of those cameras I struggle not to buy. I’ve had it in my Amazon checkout cart, and I’m ready to go at least thrice. So, instead of adding to my pile of test cameras, I exercised some self-control. I rented it for a few days to do all…

Fuji X100T vs X100s – 9 Key Differences
In the last few months, I’ve been reading many blogs and reviews on the Fuji X100T, and there is this thing they all seem to imply, “The X100T isn’t worth the upgrade if you already own the X100s.” I couldn’t say whether or not I agreed with this since I have never owned any Fuji camera since the Fuji X100T.…

Zeiss Sonnar FE 35mm f2.8 Vignetting And Color Test
I saw a post today from Leica Boss about color shifts with the Zeiss Sonnar 35mm f2.8. I’ve noticed in the community, people keep complaining about this lens and the price. Absolutely nothing is wrong with this lens for being in the 800-dollar price range. It, after all, is a Zeiss and it’s razor sharp. My…
