Sigma 16mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens First Impressions L Mount:
My site is still being updated internally but in the mean time, I have another Sigma lens that I’ve been testing lately that I want to talk about: The 16mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens for L mount. There are currently three L mount APS-C lenses that I have in my hands, which I am reviewing with the Leica CL. I wrote up a first impressions for the 56mm f1.4, which you can find here, and the last one I have is the 30mm f1.4, which I’ll post about shortly. So, getting back to the 16mm f1.4, here are my first impressions of it. [continue reading…]

Sigma 56mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens First Impressions L Mount:
Hey everyone! So, my brother in law is still helping me do some big internal updates to my site but in the mean time, he said it’s okay to start posting again. I thought I’d start off with something for the Leica CL. As many of you know, I’m a big fan of the CL but one of its weakest areas is the fact that there aren’t as many native lenses for it. In my opinion, Leica really needs to speed up production of new APS-C lenses for the CL; it’s a fantastic camera. It’s true that we have M mount lenses, and you can use the full frame L mount lenses as well. However, I don’t want to rely on manual focus lenses, and full frame L mount lenses are huge. Well, Sigma has recently release three focal lengths that all have large f1.4 apertures, and at the same time, are very compact. I have all three on hand that I am currently testing them with a CL, and right now, I’ll be talking about one of them: the 56mm f1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens. [continue reading…]
Nikon Z5 Mirrorless Camera Review:
Nikon has been making great cameras for decades, and with the creation of the Z Series, it looked to me as if Nikon was finally taking mirrorless seriously. So far, they have produce some great products in this series. Recently, they introduced something new that I was particularly excited about when I first heard of it: the Nikon Z5. Why would I be excited for something that Nikon technically calls its “entry level” full frame camera? Well, considering its specs combined with the price, which is $1,396.95 (there’s even a current rebate of $100), I felt there was real potential here. So, I tested it out, and here is what I thought of it. [continue reading…]
Peak Design Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod Review:
Deciding on which travel tripod fits you, and your travels best can be a difficult decision because there are tons of great ones on the market these days. With the release of the Peak Design Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod the decision has not been made any easier. The travel tripod by Peak Design is something that has definitely intrigued me for a while now because quite frankly, it’s pretty innovative. In some ways, one could argue it’s a new way of looking at how a tripod can be made. I had the opportunity to test it out, and here’s what I think of it. [continue reading…]
Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG HSM Art Lens Review Leica L Mount:
The 35mm lens is one of the most popular focal lengths with good reason. It’s great for many types of photography from street work, landscape to environmental portraiture. I have to admit, the 35mm isn’t my favorite focal length but I can not deny its extreme versatility. With all that said, I had the opportunity to review the Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG HSM Art lens for the Leica L Mount. Here’s what I thought of it. [continue reading…]
