  • Hardgraft Slide Camera Wrist Strap Review

    Hardgraft Slide Camera Wrist Strap Review

    The Hardgraft Slide Camera Wrist Strap has a metal ring slider that lets me fit it to my wrist securely and fast. I was eager to share this review because I think it’s a awesome strap that people will enjoy. I will put it on all my accessory lists as a strap I endorse strongly.

  • Voigtlander 35mm f1.7 Ultron Review

    Voigtlander 35mm f1.7 Ultron Review

    The Voigtlander 35mm f1.7 is a great lens for those who want something relatively compact, without having to sacrifice amazing image quality. It’s not the smallest 35mm lens you can buy, but it’s not the biggest either. It’s in that sweet spot. And while there are faster lenses out there, the f1.7 is still a great place to be at,…

    Sony 16-35mm F4 FE T* Lens Review & Sample Photos

    I hate that I didn’t buy this lens sooner. It’s a perfect match for the Sony A7(r)(s) II series of cameras both old and new and I’m absolutely in love with it. The lens is only F4, but I would like to think a lens like this would be used mostly by landscape or architecture photographers where…

    Fujifilm MCEX-11 Review & Sample Photos

    For those that don’t know, the MCEX-11 adapter will convert any lens into a macro lens. It’s a cool little tool, it’s not as good as having a real macro lens, but can let you do fun little projects like this one.

  • LIM’S Leather Case Review – Sony A7rII / A7II

    LIM’S Leather Case Review – Sony A7rII / A7II

    A half case might be a smart choice if you want to protect your Sony A7r II better. I have leather cases on most of my mirrorless cameras and they are all great. The LIM’S genuine leather half case is also awesome. The LIM’S Leather Cases for the Sony A7rII are well-made. They have many…

  • Sony A7r II: A Quick Look At Diffraction

    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…

  • Sony A7rII Gariz Alcantara Half Case Review

    Sony A7rII Gariz Alcantara Half Case Review

    When buying a new camera, I always like to pick up a few accessories to help keep the camera protected. Usually this includes a screen protector and some sort of grip or half case. When I bought the Sony A7r, I never purchased a case and after about six months I ended up regretting it.…

  • Hardgraft Re-Process Strap Review

    Hardgraft Re-Process Strap Review

    Handmade in Italy from Tuscan leather, this strap is comfortable and holds its shape well thanks to the wool felt lining, though it lacks lug covers and the hardware could be heavier.

  • Samsung NX1 – My First Impressions

    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. There are many interesting things about this camera, some good, some bad, but mostly good.  Samsung…

  • Voigtlander 15mm F4.5 Heliar III Review & Sample Images

    Voigtlander 15mm F4.5 Heliar III Review & Sample Images

    The Voigtlander 15mm f4.5 Heliar III has terrible full-frame vignetting, but it’s sharp across the frame and so small and light that it became my primary ultra-wide for the Sony A7r.
