Nikon NOCT F/.95 lens sold out, first snow of winter, why I'm disappointed in humanity

10/31/2019
Categories:
It came as a shock to me that Nikon stopped their pre-orders of the NOCT F/.95 lens because there had been too many ordered. I thought no one should lay down the $8000 for a 54mm lens when an f/1.2 or even F/1.4 would easily do the trick. After all, only Leica owners would lay down such a crazy price for a 54mm lens right? No! I was wrong. Which leaves me bewildered and disappointed in humanity.

Categories:
Third party lenses have finally start to come for the Canon R mount. Rokinon/Samyang has finally release a 14mm F/2.8 wide angle AF lens for Canon R. This is surprising because usually Rokinon/Samyang lenses are manual only but it looks like they went the extra mile for this lens.


Canon Launches RF F/2.8 70-200 Lens and RF f/1.2 85mm lens

10/25/2019
Categories:
Canon has launched two new RF lenses. The f/2.8 70-200mm zoom and the f/1.2 85mm prime lens. These lenses are priced at $2699 and $2999 respectively which is several hundreds dollars more expensive than their EF counterparts even if you buy the EF to RF adapter. But that is the price you pay for premium lenses. I'd probably just wait for the Tamron or Sigma versions myself.

Sony gets four news lenses from Tamron, but not the one I'm looking for.

10/23/2019
Categories:
Sony is getting four new FE lenses from 3rd party Tamron, which is great news because these lenses usually are cheaper than the lenses from Sony and are high quality lenses. The lenses focus mainly on the wide-angle category but Sony still lacks a cheap 3rd-party zoom lens.

Upper Peninsula Autumn Trip(Michigan)

Last week I took a trip to the UP again to see the autumn leaves for the first time. I've been up to the UP many times in the pat, but never when the leaves were changing colors. Although, I was a little early for Marquette and Pictured Rocks. The colors at Porcupine mountains and Copper harbor were all full display. Here's a video of the adventure. Picture are all available in their respective albums.
