Are Helios 50m f2 Lenses Good?

  • August 5, 2021
  • AGriffin
The Helios lenses have really grown in popularity over the last few years for their classic rendering and crazy swirling bokeh. But are they really any good? With all the awesome new third-party lenses out of China or Japan, the Helios lenses no longer get as much attention as they used to, but they're still fun lenses to shoot with if you can get a good copy.

Getting Back On My Feet | I Moved To Japan

  • June 4, 2018
  • AGriffin
I took a break from this blog but now I'm back.  This wasn't by choice, but because I was working my day job while packing to move to Japan . . . Yep, I'll be in Japan for a while. Here are a few photos and an explanation as to how and why it happened.

This Lens Is A Hidden Gem Nobody Is Talking About

  • February 28, 2018
  • AGriffin
Today I want to talk a little about this hidden little gem of a lens, the Handevision 75mm f2.4. Full review coming soon, but since those take forever to build, compile and process, I wanted to share a little bit about why this lens is unique and why it's totally worth it. So the big question, since there are so many lenses out there for both Sony and Fujifilm, what's the point of these Handevision lenses? What makes them special? Especially this 75mm f2.4?

Going Cinematic | Sony A7r III

  • December 13, 2017
  • AGriffin
With the crazy resolution of the Sony A7r III, I thought it would be fun to try out some photos with the 2.35 cinematic crop. I've done this in the past with my landscape photography using a 3:1 or 2:1 crop, but I've never done it with anything casual and the results are very cool and cinematic.

Fujifilm 90mm f2 Sample Photos At The Pumpkin Patch

  • November 7, 2017
  • AGriffin
I finally decided to buy the exquisite Fujifilm 90mm f2 and have been testing it thoroughly around town and at the pumpkin patch with the kids. I have to say, this thing is amazing and is one of Fujifilms best lenses in my opinion. Everything about it is just incredible.

Beverly Hills – The Last Oasis

  • November 7, 2017
  • AGriffin
Wow, ok, so let me talk about Beverly Hills for a little bit since I live fairly close to this place. Actually, my wife works down the street from here and while she was working last Saturday, I decided to take a walk with the stroller so my little 2-year-old could take a nap - this is where I ended up.

On The Boat With The Fuji 60mm Macro

  • November 8, 2017
  • AGriffin
During the seven-day Princess cruise up to Alaska, I tried to mix up my lens usage for reviews and to challenge myself. Carrying only a few lenses with me as I roamed around the boat seeing what I could capture.

A Juneau Excursion – Alaska

  • October 1, 2017
  • AGriffin
My family and I took the seven-day Princess cruise from Vancouver to Alaska. That was a week ago and we've been traveling through Alaska since. With spotty cell service and often no free Internet, this is the first chance I've had to post.

Fujifilm 56mm f1.2 Bokeh Sample Images

  • November 8, 2017
  • AGriffin
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.
