Voigtlander Ultron 35mm f2 Review

  • Alik Griffin
  • March 9, 2025
  • 2 comments
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

  • Alik Griffin
  • July 23, 2024
  • No comments
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?

  • Alik Griffin
  • February 5, 2026
  • No comments
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.
