For this test, I put a bunch of Fujifilm APS-C prime lenses on the full-frame Nikon Z6 to see what sort of image circle the different lenses produced.

Kamlan 50mm f1.1 vs 7Artisans 55mm f1.4 | Lens Comparison

  • Alik Griffin
  • February 5, 2026
  • 3 comments
With cheap manual lenses from China and Korea growing in popularity, many people are wonder if they are worth it, or which to buy.  In this test, I compare the 7Artisans 55mm f1.4 to the KamLan 50mm f1.1. I also threw in a more expensive lens, the Rokinon 50mm f1.2, and the even more expensive Fujinon 56mm f1.2 as a control. Since Fujifilm is legend when it comes to lens design, it will be interesting to see how they compare.

There is a magical lens by Fujifilm that I feel just doesn't get enough credit or praise and I wanted to dedicate a post to it and the insane bokeh it's capable of producing.

I'm by no means a professional studio photographer and come to find out, you don't have to be to get some great shots. So ignore the ego of most photographers, this is actually pretty easy if you already have a decent understanding of photography and lighting. The Photoshop is the hardest part. So for those that have no idea how this works, I'll share with you a little on what I do, my gear and how I've set it up.

A Season With Photography

I'm on a photography lockdown right now. My main laptop died this weekend and then my main photo editing drive died as I was moving files around to be able to work on my old MacPro. So I'm stuck until I fix my MacBook Pro and until my Drobo comes this week. Recovering the hard drive will be easy, I hope. It just lost it's partition. If not, I have backups.

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.

Fujifilm XF 56mm f1.2 R Lens Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 24, 2025
  • 10 comments
The Fujifilm XF 56mm f1.2 R lens is an absolutely phenomenal that is extremely fast with beautiful bokeh and a 7-blade rounded aperture at f1.2. The lens is optically near perfect and is very well-built with an all metal barrel. It does have somewhat of a high element count as a tradeoff to great corner to corner sharpness and chromatic aberration control, so it does produce a slightly more ethereal bokeh compared to a lens like the 34mm f1.4 and is slightly softer in terms of micro-contrast. Because of the 7-blade aperture, bokeh will get a little busy compared to a lens like the Fujifilm 60mm f2.4 with its 9 blade aperture. The only real draw back is the fly-by-wire autofocus and plastic lens hood.
