Why 16 Megapixels, When I Could Have 50?
If there was a 100 MP DSLR announced tomorrow, I would pre-order it, then spend many sleepless nights waiting for it to arrive. I’d suffer nightmares where Imatest monsters would kick Zeiss Otus’s around and laugh at their feeble attempts at keeping up with my high resolution camera. It would...

This is an in-depth review of the manual focus Zeiss Distagon T* 35mm f/2.0 ZF.2, a second-generation 35mm f/2 prime lens from Zeiss for Nikon and Canon mounts. The lens samples I tested were for the Nikon F mount, although you can get the same lens for the Canon EF...
Infrared Lens Rating on Reviews
I have been a fan of infrared photography for a while now (largely thanks to Bob Vishneski's amazing infrared work), but I have not had a chance to explore that side of photography yet. After I bought the D810 to replace the D800E, I first thought about selling the D800E....
Camera Maintenance: Is Proactive Maintenance Worth It?
