Nikon D850 vs Sony A7rII – Sensor Comparison

  • Alik Griffin
  • January 8, 2024
  • 2 comments
You've probably seen a lot of comparisons between the Nikon D850 and the Sony A7rII or A7rIII these last few weeks, comparing sensor sharpness, dynamic range or low light performance. But they often make one critical mistake, they don't use the same lens. So to compare both cameras, I wanted to use the same lens. To do this, I employed an old and very sharp Helios 44-4 58mm lens that I have adapted to both cameras and shot using the exact same settings.

Fujifilm 90mm f2 | Lifestyle Photography

  • April 22, 2024

I finally decided to buy the exquisite Fujifilm 90mm f2 and have been testing it thoroughly around town and at the pumpkin patch with the kids. I have to say, this thing is amazing and is one of Fujifilms best lenses in my opinion. Everything about it is just incredible.

Fujifilm 14mm f2.8 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 11, 2025
  • 4 comments
The Fujinon 14mm f2.8 is one of Fujifilms oldest (of the modern) lenses, it's slow and noisy with a stepping motor focus system, but optics are everything and this 14mm captures some incredible images for both landscape photographers or those just looking to have a little fun with an ultra-wide.

GoPro Hero6 vs Hero5 | A Huge Improvement!

  • Alik Griffin
  • July 31, 2018
  • No comments
When comparing the GoPro Hero5 to the Hero6, on the outside it doesn't look like much has changed. Even looking at the specs, it doesn't seem like there are any huge updates after this one year cycle. Higher frame rate and video stability at 4k are not that big of a deal to a lot of people, especially if you already have a Karma Grip. However, when you get both cameras and put them side-by-side, you'll immediately notice huge improvements with the Hero6! Huge! I'll list just a few.

Fujifilm X100F Lens Hood Review – JJC LH-JX100 II

  • Alik Griffin
  • January 18, 2025
  • 14 comments
The Fujifilm X100F, or any of the X100 series of cameras, is one of the best cameras out there to customize with different accessories. This allows people to really build a camera unique to their taste of fashion or style of shooting.  Lens hoods are a popular accessory for the X100f and there is a new one that got released around the same time as the X100F. That's the JJCLC-JX100 II.

Canon 6D II Review | This Beauty Is A Beast!

  • Alik Griffin
  • January 18, 2025
  • 3 comments
The Canon 6D Mark II is the new "entry-level" full frame camera from Canon and it's a beast! Shooting with the 6DII was the most fun I've had with a full frame camera in a long time. Partly because of its full frame sensor, partly because the camera has a lot of great features that you just don't find in many full frame cameras, like the vari-angle touch screen.

I've spent years learning all the crazy tricks in Photoshop for Landscape photography, building actions, buying plugins, etc. Then Macphun comes around and simplifies all that complicated workflow with a couple of sliders and a handful of filters. Brilliant!

Fujifilm X-T2 Battery Grip Review – A Must Have

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 24, 2025
  • 2 comments
I finally bit the bullet and got the Fujifilm X-T2 battery grip. I've been putting it off because I just wasn't sure if I would really take advantage of all the extra features it offered - long story short, I bought it and it's awesome.

Canon SL2 (EOS 200D) – Impressions

I don't do a lot of reviews on cameras I don't own, but recently I had the Canon SL2 for a weekend and was so impressed by the way it shot and felt that I had to take it out for a day of shooting. Here are my initial impressions.

Helios 44-2 58mm f2 Review | A King Of Character

  • Alik Griffin
  • February 16, 2026
  • 14 comments
If you're looking to get started collecting old vintage lenses from the 80's and 90's, then the Helios 44 series is a great place to start. They are known for their beautiful large swirling bubble bokeh. There are several variations of this lens all with different character. They are all similar and different but built with the same goal - to copy the Zeiss Biotar.
