Back From my Trip to Grand Cayman:

Hey everyone, I just wanted to say that I’m back from vacation, so it’ll be back to business as usual.  As some of you know, I went away to Grand Cayman.  It was a family trip for Thanksgiving.  It was quite a lot of fun but more importantly, it was relaxing, and I definitely needed it more than I thought.  I also was able to take a lot of photos, and I will be posting them in a big article about a traveling camera setup for here very soon.

As I mentioned before I left, I took with me my S5, and thanks to Sigma, three of their wonderful I Series lenses.  These lenses were the 20mm f2 DG DN Contemporary (the photo above was taken with this lens), the 35mm f2 DG DN Contemporary, and the 65mm f2 DG DN Contemporary.  Together, this was seriously such an incredible system for travel, and I promise to go into depth about it with plenty of photos to back it up.  I have sent the lenses back already but I miss them so much!  These lenses are just epic: you have stuff here that is compact, offers great autofocus performance, and at the same time, amazing image quality.  These new lenses are hard to beat.  I can’t wait to show all of you some of the pics.  For now, I have reviewed the lenses here, if you want more info about them.

I’ll also have some new reviews coming up, so stay tuned!  I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season, and as always, thanks for stopping by!

Sigma 30mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary Review Fuji X:

Sigma has steadily invested in the Fujifilm X mount with several offerings.  For those looking for a normal focal length lens that’s in the range of a 50mm equivalent, and they want to try something different than say what Fujifilm has to offer, there is the Sigma 30mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens.  It equates to a 45mm after you factor in the crop from the APS-C sensor.  I tested the L mount version of this lens and I was quite happy with it.  Thanks to a Sigma, I was able to get an X mount version to test.  Here’s my review of it.
