Sigma 70mm f2.8 DG Macro Art Lens First Impressions L Mount

Sigma 70mm f2.8 DG Macro Art Lens First Impressions L Mount:

The L Mount Alliance has grown steadily with new gear coming out from all three manufacturers.  As some of you know, I have always been big Sigma fan, and every lens that I’ve used so far with my Leica SL and now, my SL2 have been fantastic.  Well, there might just be another one added to that list.  I don’t normally shoot much macro…not that I have anything against it.  It’s just something I don’t do much but recently, I’ve been testing the Sigma 70mm f2.8 DG Macro Art lens, and I have to say, I’m very impressed so far.  In addition to doing its macro duties, it has been my short tele for the last few weeks.

Voigtlander Color-Skopar 21mm f4 P Lens Review

Voigtlander Color-Skopar 21mm f4 P Lens Review:

For those looking for a wide angle lens that is M mount, there are quite a lot of them out there.  Leica, of course, makes a few but there are numerous other manufacturers as well.  One of them is Voigtlander, and the lens I was using for an extended period of time is the Color-Skopar 21mm f4 P.  As you can see by the name, it has a modest maximum aperture but it sure makes up for it in terms of size: this is seriously one of the smallest 21mm lenses that I’ve used.  Also, this has actually become one of my favorite 21mm lenses.  Here’s why.

Fujifilm X-Pro3 Mirrorless Camera Review

Fujifilm X-Pro3 Mirrorless Camera Review:

If you’re looking for something that feels a bit more analog, and also gives you that rangefinder feel but you don’t want to necessarily drop $7-8k for something from Leica, then the Fujifilm X-Pro series might just be what you’re looking for.  In a sea filled with APS-C mirrorless cameras from tons of manufacturers, I feel the X-Pro cameras have always had a special place because they are a bit unique.  For instance, there’s that great hybrid viewfinder.  There are features like the manual controls, and as I mentioned earlier, the rangefinder-styled design.  With the release of the Fuji X-Pro3, the overall character is the same but now, there’s more tech and capability.

Recent Monochrome Photos From The Fuji X-T4

Recent Monochrome Photos From The Fuji X-T4:

Hey everyone.  I have a bunch of new stuff coming soon, and I am currently working on them now.  I’ll be posting my X-Pro3 review soon (I know, should’ve done it a long time ago).  I’m also writing up my X-T4 review along with reviews of the Voigtlander 21mm f4, and a couple of tripods.  Plus, I recently received the Fuji X100V, Sigma 70mm f2.8 Macro in L mount, and the Voigtlander 35mm f1.2, which I will write first impressions for as well.  For now, I thought I’d just post a few images that I took while I had the Fuji X-T4 in my hands.
