The Unique Character Of The Nikon Z 50mm f1.8 S

  • Alik Griffin
  • March 28, 2024
  • No comments
The Nikon Z 50mm f1.8 and most of the prime Z lenses for the most part are what a lot of people consider "clinical lenses." But are they? And does that matter?

Sony A7III vs Canon R vs Nikon Z6 By DPreview | My Thoughts

  • Alik Griffin
  • May 2, 2020
  • 15 comments
Jordan and Chris at DPreview posted their comparison of the Nikon, Sony, and Canon camera and I thought I would share some of my thoughts since I shoot on these three cameras. Well, not the A7III but the A7rIII.

The Best Camera Is? – Sony vs Canon vs Nikon vs Fujifilm

  • Alik Griffin
  • March 9, 2025
  • 44 comments
I get this question a lot so I thought I would just throw it into a blog post. Surprisingly a lot of the people that are asking me are always considering either the X-T3 or the Z6. But Canon has a lot of potentials and Sony should still be considered a strong choice.  As someone that has all the systems and shoots with them each regularly, I’ll tell you what I know and hopefully, some of this will apply to your situation. This is really hard, but I'll do my best to be as honest as possible.

Yasuhara Anthy 35mm f1.8 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 13, 2024
  • 7 comments
The Yasuhara Anthy 35mm f1.8 is a compact full manual full-frame mirrorless lens. With a bright f1.8 aperture the lens is a fantastic choice for low light shooters or portrait shooters that love that sweat, sweat bokeh. With the small size, affordable price and excellent build quality, the lens is a great choice for photographers looking for a daily carry that can be used in almost any situation.

Best Memory Cards Canon R | Real Benchmarks

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 19, 2024
  • 5 comments
The Canon EOS R is no slouch when it comes to data output. With 8fps continuous burst shooting speeds the Canon R can produce a RAW image data stream of  more than 250Mbps and it doesn't stop there. Video specs are very data heavy with 4k video having an output of 480Mbps and 1080p video have 180Mbps. To get the full benefit of the amazing data output, it may be a good idea to buy the fastest memory card for the Canon EOS R, but the card you buy will depend on how you plan on using the camera. Use this guide to find the best memory card for your Canon EOS R.

The Truth | Nikon and Canon’s 17% Sales Drop 2019

  • Alik Griffin
  • October 7, 2024
  • 26 comments
Canon and Nikon sales have dropped about 17% year-over-year. A lot of journalist ( dirty dirty smear merchants ) have been cherry picking statistics to push the doom and gloom narrative to make these camera companies look like they are in trouble, with the usual intent to make Sony look like it's the new market leader and to make Canon and Nikon look like they are run by a bunch of idiots. It's a fun narrative to push and people lap it up.  In this article, I want to try to shed some light on what is actually happening, what Canon and Nikon are doing and what we will expect to see moving forward.

Canon RF 35mm f1.8 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • July 23, 2024
  • 5 comments
The Canon RF 35mm f1.8 is an incredibly versatile prime lens designed for the Canon RF mount. The lens features image stabilization as well as close focusing macro capabilities with silent focusing in video mode. The 35mm focal length is one of the most useful focal lengths lending itself to many different styles of photography and the f1.8 delivers very good low light performance with some very shallow depth of field. The size, weight and performance of the RF 35mm f1.8 makes it one of the most versatile and capable prime lenses out there and it's also the best value when you compare it to all the full frame mirrorless 35mm lenses available today. Canon has really stepped up their game with their non-L lenses and it really shows here.

Atago Shrine Fire Festival – The Process

  • Alik Griffin
  • May 24, 2023
  • No comments
Once a year, at the temple Agato in Fukuoka Japan, visitors gather together to begin the celebration of the coming new year in an annual fire festival. A tradition with a series of rituals rooted in Shintoism and celebrated by both the Buddhists and Shintos of Japan. To photograph this event, I used the Canon R with the 24-105mm f4L and processed the photos with Lightroom. I'll also share you some tips and tricks and the mental process I use to produce these photos.

Canon EOS R | Just About Everyone Got It Wrong

  • Alik Griffin
  • December 8, 2024
  • 12 comments
I've read and watched most reviews of the Canon EOS R, and man, what an echo chamber. The online review game has gotten really lazy. If you didn't know any better, you would think the Canon EOS R is a complete failure and a disaster, especially when you compare it to a similarly priced Sony A7III. I've been shooting with the EOS R for a few weeks now dissecting its performance and capabilities so that I can share with you all the pros and cons of this camera and how it compares to my beloved Sony A7rIII. In the meantime, here is what just about every camera review got wrong!
