Sony 200-600mm review
I finally picked up a sony 200-600mm. Since moving to Montana and this lens getting announced I’ve felt like it’s the lens for wildlife photography. I’ve been considering one for a long time but finally bit the bullet, sold the 100-400 and got one! I didn’t own them both at the same time so I…

Fujifilm X-E2 initial impressions:
Alright, so I got my XE2 friday night and have shot with it all weekend. I also got my 23mm 1.4 at the same time so a large portion of my “dream” small camera system (I prefer EVIL, thankyouverymuch) has now arrived. Once the 10-24 and 56mm arrive I’ll be all set. Anyway, here’s a…

Canon 5D Mark III!
The 5D mark III is finally here. People have been wondering what this camera would be for the last ~3 years… Canon announced the camera in early March with some interesting specifications. The MP haven’t changed much, they’ve gone from 21mp to 22mp. But what has changed is the speed of the camera. The FPS…

Back to canon…
Switched back to canon. Nikon’s are great, but the Nikon tax killed me in the end. $2200 for the 24G specifically. Not that some of these lenses are inexpensive, but I bought them all used and save a ton. I’ve got a body I like and lenses I love now and so far so good. …

New Gear: OM1!!!
I finally picked up an old school MF only, manual exposure body! A friend found this at a yardsale and actually traded me for a NSOP strap (actually two). It’s perfect because I have the OM to EOS adapter and the 50mm 1.4 already so I can use the new 24mm 2.8 on the 5Dii…

New Gear, Sigma 12-24mm!
Yes, I’m retracing my routes with this one was well… I originally bought the siggy 12-24mm when I had my 10D knowing a 1Dii was in my near future… It’s the go to wide prime for the 1 series IMHO because that body needs full frame lenses and the 17-40 and 16-35 lose enough of…

New Gear; Sigma 50mm 1.4!
Well I got a bit crazy this past week and sold off my 50mm 1.4 and the 100mm macro I’d traded for my 20mm 1.8. My canon 50mm 1.4 was a good lens, it’s just that I’ve heard great things about the sigma so I figured I’d change things up a bit. Basically the sigma…

New Gear; Canon 100mm Macro
This is a lens I owned a while ago, and ended up selling due to lack of use. I’m 99% sure that will be the case again this time, but someone offered it to me in trade for my sigma 20mm. So I swapped knowing I can sell this easier than the sigma. These images…
