Voigtlander Ultron 35mm f2 Review

  • January 10, 2023
  • AGriffin
The Voigtlander 35mm f2 Ultron is a very compact full-frame manual lens for the Leica M mount. The lens includes one aspherical element which helps improve the corner-to-corner image quality making this lens great for casual photographers looking for a good low-profile walkaround lens. While the image quality is surprisingly good for a lens this size, the rendering characteristics are sometimes a little unpleasant at times.

Sony 50mm f1.8 Review | Extremely Underrated

  • September 13, 2021
  • AGriffin
The Sony 50mm f1.8 is one of their cheapest lenses, meant to give shooters a taste of what it's like to shoot with a fast prime on a lighter budget with a very classic style of rendering. This lens has a cheap plastic construction and a clunky autofocus system but it is very small and very lightweight making it a great walk-around lens. There are a lot of technical issues but with the 6 element design, the lens produces some absolutely wonderful images with a more retro vibe.

TTArtisan 50mm f1.2 Review – The Best Casual 50mm

  • April 10, 2021
  • AGriffin
The TTArtisan 50mm f1.2 is a fairly compact, all manual APS-C lens for those seeking a good but affordable 50mm that doesn't sacrifice performance for a bright f1.2 aperture. We haven't really had a lot of great options in this price range with this fast of an aperture until now. With great performance and a lot of Pros but only a few Cons, this lens ends up being one of the better options in the under $150 price range.

Cheap vs Expensive Lenses – What’s the Real Difference?

  • March 20, 2021
  • AGriffin
After doing tons of reviews and articles on how I like these cheaper Chinese lenses for day-to-day shooting and for fun, I thought it would be important to do a write up about what your expectations should really be when comparing cheap lenses to higher-end or more expensive lenses like a Samyang or Rokinon. Because there are some big differences.

Pergear 35mm f1.2 Review | Best One So Far

  • January 24, 2021
  • AGriffin
The Pergear 35mm f1.2 is a compact APS-C lens designed with a bright aperture for a very shallow depth of field and low light shooting. When looking at character and performance, this lens is packed with beautiful imperfections, as well as the regular kind. With the limitations in mind, it can produce some nice results and it can be a lot of fun in the right situations.

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

  • June 24, 2021
  • AGriffin
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.
