Lens Reviews
Coming in at 85mm full frame equivalence, the Fujinon XF56MM F1.2R is a prime (poor pun intended) example of Fujifilm’s focus on APS-C done right. At time of writing, no other manufacturer has a fast prime that provides this classic portrait focal length for APS-C bodies.
Lens Reviews
One of the pleasures of shooting with a Sony Full Frame E-mount camera is access to Zeiss’ excellent line of Batis lenses. Known for the signature Zeiss “Pop”, the Batis lenses take traditional Zeiss into the 21st century by adding an OLED display, ridiculously light weight and weather sealing.

I've been putting money aside for the past few years in anticipation of the Leica Q2. Unfortunately since Leica is making it difficult for me (along with everybody else new to the brand) to procure one, I decided to use that money on a Sony Full Frame system instead.

I don’t have any paper certifications that relates to Agile or Design Thinking, but I have delivered several products as a Product Owner in a few large corporations.

美しき日本 旅の風光 (Excellent Japan - A Scenic Portfolio) is a pictorial book about Japan that I absolutely love.
Q&A
Joel asked for my opinions on using an 18-135mm lens with a 100-400mm + 2x TC for a Safari trip.
Thoughts, stories and ideas.
Photolemur is an interesting app that claims to offer "the world's first fully automated solution for creating perfect photos." The word "perfect" is relative when it comes to photography, most photos are edited to taste and what's "perfect" to one person may be rubbish to another.
I first heard of Marie Kondo - also known as KonMari on NHK World a couple of years ago. The mantra she was peddling was something like (heavily paraphrased) “If it doesn’t spark joy in you, get rid of it”. Being a bit of a “hoarder” myself, I was rather intrigued by this proposition.
The XF50-140mm is a must-have for any serious Wildlife, Portrait or Landscape photographer out there. It’s fast, sharp, has excellent Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) and is weather resistant.
I’ve been using Version 1 of the Peak Design Everyday Messenger (EDM) bag for over two years now. It’s always been one of my heavily used bags. Not just as a camera bag, but as an everyday work bag too.
The X100 series is an interesting camera. With a fixed lens that befuddles new enthusiast photographers, it’s one of those cameras alongside the Leica Q that seems to be designed just for capturing memories.
Since my previous article on accessories for the X-T2 was rather popular, I thought it would be appropriate to share some of my thoughts on what are the best accessories I have for the X-E3. This time, I’ll add lenses to the mix too.
It’s no secret that I came away extremely impressed with the camera on the iPhone X. The set of dual stabilised lenses and Apple’s willingness to partially post process images in-situ made it close the gap even further on point and shoot cameras.
A chorus of pundits complains about Apple’s obsession with thinness, every time a new device with a fresh hardware iteration - painstakingly designed to be as thin as possible, is announced.
I already own the Bose QC35 and the Sony MDR-1000X, but the real estate they take up on my carry on baggage always felt like a luxury for short to medium haul flights. Can this smaller pair of in-ear headphones save the day?
As someone who grew up in the late 90s and early 00s, the iPod is to me what a vinyl record player is to someone who grew up in the 60s and 70s.
So after many months of rumours, Fujifilm finally announced the X-H1. X-H is a reverse-play of the abbreviations for Hyper-X. Like most of the bodies that come out of Fujifilm, I’m sure it’s a solid camera. My question is, who is this exactly for?
8 years ago this day, Steve Jobs introduced iPad to the world. It was to herald the coming of the “Post-PC” era.
