Panasonic Lumix S Pro 16-35mm f4 L Mount First Impressions:
Since switching to portrait and boudoir, my ultra wides have been pretty much collecting dust these days. I’ll occasionally use them for a specific project but otherwise, I’m mostly shooting with either a 50mm or 90mm these days. So for me, it’s hard to justify spending $6k+ on say the Leica 16-35mm f3.5-4.5 ASPH for my SL2. Luckily, the L Mount Alliance has given us L mount users a lot of different alternatives. For instance, there’s the excellent Sigma 14-24mm f2.8 which I reviewed a while back (review here). There’s also the Panasonic Lumix S Pro 16-35mm f4, which is what I’m going to talk about today.

Sigma 40mm f1.4 DG HSM Art Lens L Mount First Impressions:
The L mount Alliance has, in my opinion, really been one of the best ideas in recent photography because it essentially allows three camera brands to increase versatility by working together, and sharing lenses. As some of you know, I’ve always been a huge fan of Sigma products, and when I first heard that Sigma was joining the L Mount Alliance, I was thrilled as a Leica SL owner. In fact, I’ve been going through each L mount version as they are being released, and reviewing them. Recently, I’ve been shooting with the Sigma 40mm f1.4 DG HSM Art, and here are my first impressions of it. [continue reading…]

Weekly Portrait Post: Shots Around Sunset With The Leica SL2:
This week’s portrait post is a short one (just shooting a lot, and swamped with a lot of edits to do lately), and it was taken in downtown Manhattan, specifically Chinatown. I had with me my Leica SL2, and I was shooting with Stephanie (Instagram). She’s one of my favorite people to shoot with; in addition to just being an awesome model, she’s one of the nicest people I know. [continue reading…]
Billingham Hadley Pro 2020 vs. Hadley One vs. Billingham 207:
I get a lot of questions in my DMs, and email about the Billingham Hadley (now the Hadley Pro 2020). The most common ones are will all my gear fit, and how does it compare to the Hadley One? So, I decided the best thing to do is write up a comparison between these two bags. I thought as a bonus, I’d also add the Billingham 207 into this comparison as well, since I recently reviewed it. Before we get started though, I just wanted to say that this article is only a comparison between these three bags; I’ve written big reviews with plenty of pictures in them for all three of these bags along with nearly the entire collection from Billingham. So, if you’re interested in any of the reviews, you can find them here. Okay, let’s get started. [continue reading…]
