The Smartest Way to Adapt Vintage Lenses?
I thought the Nikon ZF was the best for vintage glass, then came the ZR.? Its unique form factor breathes new life into old lenses, you do need the right adapter though to get green boxes, IBIS, autofocus? The 6 best adapters are all very expensive, and to help you pick I’ve torture-tested them in bad lighting and terrible weather. There’s one last adapter I’m trying to track down, but my time in Tokyo’s running out.

I Obsessed Over Fujifilm vs Nikon Primes?

Today I’m obsessing over these two systems so you don’t have to.
I’m not a Minimalist | Sony 50mm f1.4 vs f1.2 GM
I don’t need this.
You don’t need this.
I’m a failed minimalist, especially when it comes to photography and GAS.
In the last post I went on the record to say Sony’s 50mm f1.4 G Master is my favourite lens of all time. Ever since I got it, its big brother - the 50mm f1.2 G Master - has been collecting dust on the shelf.
Is there room for two fast 50mm lenses? Why did I get both to begin with? Which one do I keep?
The Lens that made me an Impostor | Sony 50mm f1.4 GM
This search took me a decade, but last year I finally found it. My favourite lens of all time. A technical masterpiece - everything I could have wanted in a lens.
The problem? This lens is so good it made me feel like an impostor.
