Sigma 10-18mm f2.8 DC DN Contemporary Review Fuji X:

For those looking for an ultra wide angle zoom for their Fujifilm X Series camera, Sigma has recently announced the 10-18mm f2.8 DC DN Contemporary.  On an APS-C camera, this equates to a 15-27mm, which is a range that covers quite a bit.  I had the pleasure of getting a pre-launch L mount sample to test a while back, and it worked superbly with my L mount system.  The review is here.  I still wanted to give it a go with my Fuji system, so thanks to Sigma, I was able to get a Fuji X mount version of this lens as well.  Here is what I think of it.

Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 DG DN OS Sports Review:

A 70-200mm f2.8 is one of the most important lenses out there because the focal length range, and constant aperture make it extremely versatile: it can be used for weddings, portraits, sports to wildlife, and even cityscape. To say it’s crucial to many photographers’ kits might even be an understatement.  It makes sense for lens manufacturers to invest the proper time in designing a decent lens in this range, and with that said, Sigma has recently announced the 70-200mm f2.8 DG DN OS Sports.  Thanks to them, I was able to get a pre-launch sample in L mount to test.  Here are my thoughts.

Sigma 10-18mm f2.8 DC DN Contemporary Review:

If you’re an L mount user, and you’re looking for an ultra wide angle zoom, the Sigma 10-18mm f2.8 DC DN Contemporary lens has just been announced today.  It’s ultra compact, and on paper, it looks to be feature packed.  Since it is an APS-C lens, it equates to a 15-27mm equivalent, which is also a really nice focal length range.  Thanks to Sigma, I was able to get a pre-launch example to test.  Here’s my full review of it.

Portraits Lower East Side: Leica SL and 75mm Lux f1.4:

I took a little break from shooting for a while, and I’ve been getting back into it recently.  I’m preparing to set up some new shoots but in the meantime, I’ve been looking through my archive of photos for content to edit, and kind of get my feet wet again.  I found these portraits that were actually taken with my Leica SL and 75mm Lux, and I thought it would be kind of cool to share.

Sigma 14mm f1.8 DG HSM Art Review L Mount:

We have some great wide angle lens options out there nowadays, especially when we’re talking about L mount.  I don’t just mean something like a typical 24mm lens, for example.  There are actually some serious ultra wide angle glass to choose from that can really up one’s game in photography.  Take, for instance, the Sigma 14mm f1.8 DG HSM Art.  While it comes in several different mounts, being that I am an L mount user, I had the L mount version to test.  Thanks to Sigma, I was able to give it a go, and here are my thoughts about it.
