Sigma 45mm f2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens L Mount First Impressions:
I’ve always loved Sigma lenses, and I was really happy when I heard that they were joining the L-Mount Alliance. Since then, I waited (impatiently) for the lenses to be released. After a little bit of a wait, I was glad to hear that a few were finally coming out. One, which I was really excited about, is the 45mm f2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens. I was able to get one on loan to review, and here are my first impressions of it. [continue reading…]

Leica Summarit-M 90mm f2.4 Lens Review:
If you’re looking for an M mount 90mm, there are actually plenty of choices. However, if you’re looking for a Leica branded one, they aren’t usually cheap with the exception of maybe just one that is, at least, more budget friendly: the Summarit-M 90mm f2.4. At the price of $2,195, it’s a lot less than say the Summicron APO, and it’s just a tad bit slower in terms of aperture speed. Plus, it has the benefit of being a lot more compact.

Voigtlander Nokton 75mm f1.5 Aspherical Lens First Impressions:
There are plenty of great portrait lenses out there that are M mount ranging from ultra expensive lenses like the Noctilux-M 75mm f1.25 ASPH to even lenses costing just a couple of hundred dollars. It can make it pretty hard to choose sometimes, if you think about it. Now, Voigtlander has added another one to the mix: the Nokton 75mm f1.5 Aspherical, and I have to say, this has been so far a pretty amazing lens. I was able to get one in to review, and here’s my first impressions of it. [continue reading…]

Weekly Portrait Set: 75mm Summilux and Leica SL:
This time around I took out an old classic: the 75mm Summilux-M f1.4. I’ve had this lens forever. It was originally my dad’s a long time ago, when he used to do more photography. It was so long ago that it was still in production at the time; he bought it new. I haven’t used it much in recent years but I’m starting to take it out more and more again, so you’ll see more from it. I may actually even write up a comparison test between it and the new Voigtlander Nokton 75mm f1.5 Aspherical. [continue reading…]

For those interested, Fujifilm released a new firmware update ver.3.01 for the X-T3. Details are below:
- In rare cases, the message “TURN OFF THE CAMERA AND TURN ON AGAIN” may appear in the drive mode “S”, when you repeatedly, and rapidly take photos in a short time. That’s now fixed.
