Zeiss Biogon 28mm f2.8 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • July 23, 2024
  • 4 comments
While this lens isn’t flawless, I appreciate its punchy high-contrast rendering and pop. It delivers a pleasant classic look for everyday or street photography. Optically, distortion is minimal, but wide open, the corners and edges can be a bit sloppy, and there’s noticeable vignetting at f2.8.

Pergear 35mm f1.6 Review & Sample Photos

The Pergear 35mm f1.6 is an all-manual metal APS-C lens that fits more into the category of a classic lens than a modern lens. There are a lot of great lenses for an affordable price, and for the classic rendering, this is one of my favorites.

The Glimmer Glass is one of the many types of diffusion filters made by Tiffen that produces one of many different types of Diffusion effects. While they all diffuse light, they are not all the same and do it in their own way and the use-case will vary pretty significantly. See how the Tiffen Glimmer Glass filter is different from the rest.

With the latest Nikon Z8, not all third-party batteries have been working properly. For example, the old third-party batteries I've been using for the Nikon Z6, do not work on my Nikon Z8. This brings me to this third-party battery company called Vemico.
