Zeiss has been pretty active lately, releasing a number of solid and much needed prime lenses for the Sony FE mount. The first Loxia line is comprised of two manual focus lenses, the Zeiss Loxia 35mm f/2 and Loxia 50mm f/2 and the second Batis line is even more exciting,...
Nikon D7200 Review
The Nikon D7200 was released in March of 2015 as a top-of-the-line DX DSLR and a price point of $1,200 USD. Compared to the D7100, the D7200 has nearly three times the buffer, an improved AF-system, the fast EXPEED 4 processor and a bunch of other nice features, especially for...
Fuji XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR Review
Since Fujifilm kicked off its X-series mirrorless cameras in 2012, it has been releasing a number of superb prime and zoom lenses to attract both enthusiasts and professionals to its camera system. Although until recently the Fuji lens line-up included a number of great zoom lenses, there was no professional-grade...
Nikon 400mm f/2.8E FL ED VR Review
During the past few years, Nikon has been slowly replacing its high-end super-telephoto lenses with newer technology using lightweight fluorite lens elements, shedding off a lot of weight and making additional improvements to lens designs, making the already strong lenses even better.

Really Right Stuff TQC-14 Tripod Review
I used to have a wooden tripod. It was not as bad as it sounds -- other photographers were always fascinated by the design, and it was sturdier than you might expect. Unfortunately, despite weighing 4.2 pounds, it had a maximum height of just three feet. Plus, it was bulky. I brought this tripod...
Impact Soft and Natural 4 Socket 3 Light Kit Review
The Impact Soft and Natural 4 Socket 3 Light Kit is a lightweight three-softbox continuous light source for studio shooting. MSRP is $604.90, but it seems to be perpetually discounted at B&H. As I write this it is priced at $348.95. The kit comes with stands, softboxes, heads and bulbs,...
