Tamron 15-30mm f2.8 Detailed Review & Sample Images

  • Alik Griffin
  • December 15, 2024
  • No comments
The new Tamron's 15-35mm f2.8 Ultra-Wide Zoom lens has now shipped and I've been lucky enough to get my hands on one. This is the latest and greatest from Tamron and is designed to feed the hungry 50 megapixels on the new Canon 5Ds and other high megapixel cameras. To see how true this claim is, I've spent the last few days testing this lens with both the Canon 5Dmkii and the Sony A7r with the metabones MKIII adapter.

Fujifilm X100T Gariz Half-Case Review

I have been looking for a nice leather case for my Fujifilm X100T for a while. I was worried if the thinner camera shape would fit in these cases made for the X100 or X100s. I tried the Gariz, Leather Half Case because it looked good and had a solid base with a tripod screw.

Fujifilm X100T – A Real World Review

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 12, 2024
  • One comment
Not too long ago I made the leap into the FujiX100T fixed lens system. But why this camera? Why only a 16-megapixel APS-C camera with a fixed lens when I already own a Sony A7r with a few great lenses? I used to think megapixels and dynamic range were all that mattered, but now after going through a few different camera bodies over the years, I've really come to learn that it's the physical camera itself that matters. Not just the specs, or the pixel depth of the sensor resolution, but the way the camera feels in your hand, the experience of shooting itself. I've come to learn that it's the actual physical process of taking the photos that I enjoy and the Fuji X100T is absolutely perfect for this.

Classic Chrome – Raw vs Jpeg FujiX100T

  • Alik Griffin
  • December 14, 2024
  • No comments
Out of curiosity I wanted to see how the FujiX100T manipulated images between JPEG and RAW when using the new Classic Chrome color profile. At first I would have thought that they would be almost indistinguishable or at least extremely close. After all, why would a JPEG image look any different than the RAW with Classic Chrome? The profile is built by the same company using the same curves. But the results are actually surprising.

FujiFilm X100T First Impressions

  • Alik Griffin
  • May 7, 2024
  • No comments
As someone who has never used a Fuji camera before, I thought it would be fun to share my perspective on the new Fuji X100T. So here are my thoughts and honest first-time impressions on this camera that's new to me.  It might seem strange for someone with a Sony A7r and a 5Dmkii to go out and buy a small fixed-lens APS-C camera like this. I'm not one of those photographers who thinks one brand is better than another, rather I will buy a camera that does what I need for the style I'm looking for. This Fuji X100T seems perfect for carrying around with me and taking photos of daily life.

Metabones Mark IV Lens Mount Adapter Improved Performance

  • Alik Griffin
  • December 14, 2024
  • No comments
Metabones earlier this year released its Mark IV version of the Lens Mount Adapter. These adapters allow you to use your Canon or Nikon lenses on your Sony E mount bodies with full aperture control. The previous Mark III version of the adapter had a lot of problems with many Canon lenses. The new adapter has many new improvements to consider and a lot of new lenses added to its compatibility list.
