Ruggard Legion 45 Messenger Bag Review

Like most photographers I have a few different gear bags and none of them seems to be the perfect solution to meet all of my needs. I further compound this problem by buying more gear, then kicking myself in the butt when my storage and transport issues get even more...

FotodioX WonderPana FreeArc Filter System Review

When it comes to ultra-wide-angle lenses, the Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G is an outstanding choice, thanks to its top-notch corner-to-corner sharpness, amazing colors, and superb performance throughout the focal range. The lens has become a legend, outperforming most ultra wide-angle primes on the market in terms of resolution. As I have...

Nikon MB-D12 vs Vello BG-N7 for Nikon D810

The battery grip has to be the most overpriced accessory in photography. Think about it – it’s a plastic/composite case filled with batteries and a few switches – that’s it. How come a Nikon MB-D12 costs $399 and the batteries aren’t even included? The Nikon D3300 body costs a bit...

Sensor Gel Stick Maintenance

The best part about the Sensor Gel Stick, is that it can be re-used over and over again and with normal use can last for a long time. But what happens if the gel tip gets less sticky overtime or potentially even completely lose the stickiness property? Some of our...

Oben TT-300 Table Top Tripod Review

There are times when virtually every photographer or videographer could make use of a small, lightweight, easy-to-use table top tripod. Like that time you were on holidays and missed that spectacular sunset in fading light. Or, that unique angle shot that would have added a lot of production value to...
