Classic Cases Leica M Typ 240 Case Review:
There are plenty of accessories for Leica cameras, and a popular one is the good old fashioned leather half case. A half case is not only visually appealing to many, it also serves as protection for a pricey investment like a Leica. Manufacturers like Artisan & Artist, Gariz, and Luigi, just to name a few, all make half cases. Another manufacturer that produces half cases is Classic Cases from England. Paul Glendell, who is an award-winning photographer himself, is the person behind this company, and he designs many different cases for several Leica models. The one in this review is the leather half case designed for the M Typ 240. [continue reading…]
Fuji X-Pro2 Review:
The Fuji X-Pro1 was a special camera because of several reasons. First, it played a huge role in starting a brand new interchangeable lens system that in a relatively short amount of time, has grown into one that is prominent, and one that has helped Fuji firmly establish a place in the mirrorless world. It was also the answer for many people who were looking for a rangefinder styled camera that performed superbly but also was decently priced. However, a lot has changed in 4 or 5 years. While the X-Pro1 is still a great camera, it has started lagging in some key areas. Seeing this, Fuji finally released its successor, the Fuji X-Pro2 (B&H Photo/Amazon). The specs look pretty good on paper, and it seems that Fuji has fulfilled a lot of the wishes and demands that users of the X-Pro1 have been asking for. But its rivals are even more competitive nowadays, so are the modifications and improvements made to the X-Pro2 enough to keep it competitive in the market? Read on and find out! [continue reading…]
Domke F-803 Camera Satchel Bag Review:
Most of the bags I’ve reviewed on this site have been made by Billingham. I can’t help it, I’m a big fan; I use a lot of the bags myself because they simply last forever. But as we know, Billingham isn’t the only manufacturer that makes good bags, so I thought this time, I would review an old classic, the Domke F-803. Like many of the Billingham bags, the F-803 has been around for ages, and since not much of it has changed over the years, is the F-803 still relevant considering how much in photography and photographic gear actually has changed? I was definitely curious, and here is what I concluded from my time with this bag. [continue reading…]
Fuji XF 10-24mm F4 R OIS Lens Review:
Over the years, I’ve grown to enjoy the use of ultra wide angle lenses so much so that I often use my 18mm as an everyday lens. I like the way ultra wides perceive the world. Plus, there’s just so much going on all the time in New York City (often in cramped spaces) that a wide angle can be considered mandatory at times. There are quite a few options if you want an ultra wide for the Fuji X Series, and one of these options is the XF 10-24mm F4 R OIS lens (B&H Photo/Amazon). In 35mm terms, this lens equates to a whopping 15 to 35mm equivalent. This is an older lens but seeing as the Fuji X-Pro2 is being released, I thought it would be a great time to review it.

Fuji X70 Review:
So much has changed since the days of the first X100 or even the X-Pro1. The Fuji X Series has grown into a system that now encompasses an extensive range of products in an attempt to appeal to a broader range of photographers and enthusiasts. A new camera that has just been recently added to this growing system is the Fuji X70. This new camera uses essentially the same basic recipe that has made the X Series so popular amongst its followers, like the same sensor and analog controls of it’s other siblings, but puts it all in a very compact form. By doing this, Fuji hopes to appeal to users looking for a high end compact camera with the performance and characteristics of the X Series. [continue reading…]
