Mitakon 35mm f0.95 II Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • February 5, 2026
  • 11 comments
The Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 35mm  f0.95 II is a relatively small but incredibly fast APS-C prime lens for mirrorless cameras. It's built of an all metal body with a declick aperture and an incredibly fast f0.95 aperture. The lens excels in low light conditions but also functions as a very beautiful art lens for incredible bokeh and shallow depth of field. Performance is all around good for a lens this fast and it will perform well in most situations.

Kipon Iberit 75mm f2.4 – Review & Sample PHotos

  • Alik Griffin
  • July 23, 2024
  • 15 comments
The Handevision 75mm f2.4 lens is a small lightweight manual lens designed for mirrorless camera systems including the Leica. The lens features 5 elements in 5 groups for incredible contrast and color rendering and a 6 blade rounded aperture for butter smooth bokeh at f2.4. You might be wondering, who is Handevision? are Handevision lenses good? Is this Handevision IBERIT 75mm worth it?

7Artisans 35mm f2 Lens Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • December 7, 2024
  • No comments
The 7Artisans 35mm f2 is an all metal full frame lens with 10 aperture blades designed for mirrorless cameras. When I first picked up the 7Artisans 35mm f2, I spent a few days shooting, walking maybe a total of probably 8-9 miles just shooting. After the first day before really reviewing the images, I just wasn't really impressed and wanted to send it back. Then I got into Lightroom and man, I have to say, I'm liking it.

Fujifilm 23mm f1.4 – Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin

  • 6 comments
The Fujinon 23mm f1.4 is Fujifilm classic. With the 35mm field of view and the f1.4 aperture, this lens can produce some amazing images in almost any situation. It's the bread and butter for many street photographers and is one of those lenses you'll never leave behind.

7Artisans 25mm f1.8 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • February 5, 2026
  • 40 comments
The 7Artisans 25mm f1.8 is a small and fast lens designed and manufactured in China for mirrorless cameras. It's built with an all-metal lens barrel with poor quality control and construction. Optically the lens is tuned for a somewhat old school, retro image quality where corner and edge sharpness is sacrificed at the cost of microcontrast and color. All around this little lens is kind of a mess and I'm struggling to decide if it's even worth it.

Fujifilm 16mm f1.4 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 24, 2025
  • 2 comments
All around the Fujifilm 16mm f1.4 is a phenomenal lens with very few negative characteristics other than maybe its size and weight. I chalk it up as one of the best Fujifilm lenses in terms of overall design and tuning of characteristics and probably the best ultra wide prime ever made.

Sony A7r III Vertical Grip Review

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 24, 2025
  • No comments
The vertical battery grip for the Sony A7r III provides up to 4x more power than the single battery of the previous Sony A7r II by powering the camera with two new FZ100 batteries. It's built of a rigid magnesium weather sealed body with cheap plastic components and spongy buttons and dials. So is it worth the price?

Fujifilm 60mm f2.4 Macro Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • July 24, 2024
  • One comment
The Fujinon 60mm f2.4 is a short telephoto macro lens for the Fujifilm X-Mount APS-C mirrorless camera system.  This lens features a fast f2.4 aperture with 9 aperture blades and an equivalent field of view of 90mm, making it great for portrait photography as well as product photography . The excellent corner to corner sharpness also means landscape photographers will find great use for it as well. I consider the Fujifilm 60mm a short telephoto jack-of-all-trades lens, because it can do just about anything with no serious negative characteristics.

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.

Fuji X100F Lensmate Thumb Grip Review

The Lensmate thumb grip is a great accessories for the Fujifilm X100F that provides extra grip and support for the camera. It gives your thumb a place to sit and allows the camera to sit more securely in the hand which improves camera stability, comfort and ergonomics.
