Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f1.2 Aspherical III Lens Review:
The 35mm is one of the most popular focal lengths, especially for Leica M users. It’s a great lens for street photography, candid, and environmental portraiture just to name a few. It’s also just a great general lens to have for everyday photography. Because of its popularity, there are many different manufacturers that make 35mm lenses in M mount, and one of these is Voigtlander. They have quite a few 35mm lenses to choose from, and one of them is the Nokton 35mm f1.2 Aspherical III. I was able to test this lens out, and here’s what I think of it. [continue reading…]
Fujifilm X-T4 Mirrorless Camera Review:
The Fuji X-T series of cameras have enjoyed great success because let’s face it, they’re decent cameras no matter which model you have. Whether you’re shooting with the first generation X-T1 or a newer model like the X-T3, you have a camera that offers you great versatility, portability, power, and excellent image quality. With all that said, there is always room for improvement, which is why we now have the new X-T4. How much has the X-T4 been improved though, and is it worth it to you? Let’s take a closer look.

Sigma 70mm f2.8 DG Macro Art Lens Review L Mount:
I must admit that I don’t really shoot much macro probably because I was a Leica M user for so many years, and while there are ways to shoot macro with an M like say using the Leica Macro-Elmar-M 90mm f4, it’s just not really that convenient. The Leica SL system changed a lot for me, especially when the L Mount Alliance was established. One way it changed things for me was being able to shoot with a lens like the Sigma 70mm f2.8 DG Macro Art lens. I had this lens on loan for a few weeks, and tested it entirely with my Leica SL2. Here’s what I think of it. [continue reading…]
Weekly Portrait Post: Photos From The Fall With My Leica SL2:
As some of you know, I haven’t been consistent with my weekly portrait sets because of the lockdown that we experienced. Lockdown is over in New York City now but meeting people to shoot still isn’t easy as before. Even going out to just review gear has its challenges. It’ll probably be a while before I actually post a portrait set consistently each week but since I am still doing model shoots (although not as frequently as before), I’ll post one here and there until I can get back that consistency again. For instance, this set I’m posting today was actually from my first ever shoot with my Leica SL2 back in the Fall of 2019. I liked this set but for some reason, I just never got to it until now. The model in these photos is Stephanie (Instagram). [continue reading…]
