Weekly Portrait Set: More With Lilia and The Leica SL2:
Hey everyone, I hope you’re all enjoying the holiday season! I took a few days off to enjoy the time with my family and friends but I’m back. I’m starting off with my weekly portrait post, which is of Lilia. This was from the same shoot I shot a while back. If you’d like, you can see the pics we did from the fire escape here. The reason I have so many photos is because this shoot was very long; in fact, it was an all day shoot. Neither Lilia or me planned on shooting for so long but we were on a roll, and having a bit of fun. [continue reading…]

Sony FE 35mm f1.8 Lens Review:
The 35mm lens is super popular among photographers because if you think about it, it’s a very versatile focal length. It’s great for street photography, cityscape, landscape, documentary, and environmental portraiture just to name a few. The 50mm might be my favorite focal length but if I were going on vacation, for example, and I only had the option of bringing one lens, it’d probably be the 35mm. So, this leads me to what I’m going to talk about now, the Sony FE 35mm f1.8 lens. When it was first announced, this was a highly anticipated lens for good reason. It’s the right focal length, it’s compact, and promised fast autofocus, and good optics. Plus, at f1.8, it has a large maximum aperture. Let’s take a closer look. [continue reading…]

Nikon Z50 Mirrorless Camera First Impressions:
Last year, we saw Nikon releasing their full frame Z6 and Z7 camera bodies, which is a big step for mirrorless, if you ask me. Both those cameras are excellent but Nikon didn’t stopped there. Recently, they released the Z50, a camera with an APS-C sensor. The first camera I thought of when I heard about the Z50 was the Fuji X-T30. It’s also why I had to get my hands on a Z50 to see what it was all about. Btw, this is my first Nikon that I’m reviewing for this site, so I am definitely excited. Here are my first impressions of it. [continue reading…]

Weekly Portrait Set: Shots of Lilia With The Leica SL2:
This week’s portrait post is going to be a short one. I was editing at my sister’s, and left my portable drive there by accident, so a lot of the files I wanted to post are not with me currently. Also, with Christmas coming soon, I’ve had to cut down on my editing time but I did want to just post something, especially since I’ve been doing a lot of shoots with the Leica SL2. So, today’s pics are of Lilia. [continue reading…]

Rokinon 12mm f2.0 NCS CS Lens Review for Fujifilm X Mount:
If you’re looking for lenses for your Fujifilm X Series camera, there are tons of great ones from a variety of manufacturers to choose from now. One manufacturer whose products that, for the most part, I’ve liked is Rokinon. I’ve review a lot of their lenses in the past, and each one offered great image quality, and decent build all while being priced just right. Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to try another lens by Rokinon, the 12mm f2.0 NCS CS lens. This isn’t a new lens but the size, the performance, maximum aperture speed, and price, especially now, since it is currently $150 off for a holiday special, make it quite a desirable lens on paper. Let’s take a closer look at it. [continue reading…]
