Fujifilm Instax Pal 2 Review: The Fujifilm Take on the Charmera (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Taking risks is important in the camera industry. People want a unique shooting experience, and they will accept some compromises to the technical specification side of things if the payoff is fun. The Instax Pal 2 does feel like a throw-away toy camera in some ways, but it also feels like something you would be less inclined to forget about. The Fujifilm Pal 2 sure looks like a fun time, but it is not what I would call an “affordable” toy camera at $169. Let’s also remember that the Fujifilm X-
Sigma 20-60mm f/2.8-4 DG Contemporary Review: Versatility is a Virtue (opens the original)
Read excerpt
More and more, I find myself prioritizing convenience in a lens rather than ideal optical performance. Having a lens that is compact and versatile with a focal range that covers more of an ultra-wide field of view, means that I don’t have to bring a second lens with me. I'm all for lenses that offer the 20mm as a starting point, and both Sony and Panasonic users have another great alternative on the market now. The Sony 20-70mm f/4 quickly became one of my favorite lenses for this very reason, a
OM System PEN Review: Too Familiar But Oh-So-Pretty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The idea behind the original Olympus PEN camera was deeply poignant. Like an actual pen, the PEN camera should be something you can take anywhere. It offers utility, for example, to sign a check or write in a tip on a receipt. But it is also a creative tool for sketching, writing a poem, or whatever inspires you along the way. The humble pen also has a third layer: it need not always be humble. It can instead be a stylish piece of functional jewelry, showing a touch of class peeking out of a sui
Sigma 85mm f/1.2 DG Art Review: Sigma is the Alpha This Time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sigma has never made an 85mm f/1.2 lens — until now. Maybe this lens is late to the party, but the company might have saved the best for last. The new 85mm f1.2 will be available in Sony E-mount and Leica L-mount where previously the only lenses available were manual-focus. This gives Sigma a unique opportunity to make a big splash and, in that metaphor, this lens is a cannonball. If you want a portrait lens that can deliver smooth bokeh and dreamy flare, this is a spectacular choice. It's also
Fujifilm XF 400mm f/4.5 R LM OIS WR Review: A Top-Tier Super Telephoto (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have to admit that I don’t have a ton of faith in Fujifilm when it comes to wildlife and sports photography. I don’t feel like the autofocus performance of the cameras is quite up to par with the competition when it comes to more demanding situations. However, I do think that the glass lineup is excellent, and it just got even better. If you are in the X system and want a high-performance telephoto lens, the XF 400mm f/4.5 is a great place to start. Fujifilm has released a brand-new 400mm XF f
