Mochitsuki Mochi With The Fujifilm X-T3

It's the end of the year and it's time to smash mochi rice into little rice cakes. In Japan, it's called Mochitsuki, or Mochitsuki festival. Friends, family, or neighborhoods get together, bring mochi rice and everyone works together to smash the rice into a mochi paste after steaming it.

First Impressions and sample photos of the Pergear 25mm f1.8. A micro-contrast beast with some cool portrait capabilities, but not showing limitations with sharpness.

Larger Than Life | Fujifilm X100V + Godox TT685F

  • 4 comments
In my free time I've been experimenting with the different features and capabilities of the Fujifilm X100V. Since the X100V can now focus and maintain great detail very close with the leaf shutter that can sync with pretty much any flash at any shutter speed, it leaves the door open for some fun and easy experimentation.

Kamlan 50mm f1.1 II | A Huge Improvement

  • Alik Griffin
  • April 22, 2024
  • 17 comments
When I first saw the announcement of the Kamlan 50mm f1.1 version II, I was a bit skeptical and ultimately not interested. The first one was just a swing and missed and unfortunately made me a little skeptical about Kamlan as a brand even though their build quality is always stellar. Then I saw a few images of this new version II lens. Kamlan totally changed it up with a completely new design improving the one thing that would make a huge difference.

The Beauty Of Slower Lenses | Nikon Z 50mm f1.8 S

  • Alik Griffin
  • September 25, 2019
  • 22 comments
Nikon is slowly winning me over at becoming my favorite full frame camera system. I still like the EOS R, I think it's a more capable camera in terms of versatility, mainly because of the 30MP sensor and the flippy screen that is so nice for landscape work, but I actually enjoy using the Nikon Z6 more. The main thing that's really got me excited about the Nikon system is the (somewhat) affordable high quality f1.8 AF glass, which is what you're seeing with all the samples in this post.

Sony A6400 Review – One Of My Favorite APS-C Cameras

  • Alik Griffin
  • February 5, 2026
  • 10 comments
The Sony A6400 is a small lightweight APS-C camera designed for photographers and videographers looking to maximize versatility and image quality without compromising performance. Built like a tank, the A6400 is one of the best autofocusing cameras out there with some overall really nice specs. 11fps of continuous RAW shooting, 4k 100mbps video and a Tilting screen for selfies or vlogging. Because Sony omitted IBIS from the A6400, the camera ends up being lighter compared to the A6500 while having a battery that lasts about a full day.
