Getting Started in Photography
/in Reviews, Tutorials/by Adrian WagnerI wanted to write a blog post about a question I am asked fairly often that goes a bit like this: “I have $600 to spend on a new camera / and lens, what should I get that will enable me to take awesome pictures?” I would be lying if I told you that there […]
Nikon Nikkor 105mm 1.4E Lens Review & Sample Images
/in Lenses, Reviews/by Adrian WagnerThis lens replaces my Samyang 135 f2 and Nikon 85mm 1.8g. Those are two gems of portrait lenses, with the Samyang being my favorite and most used lens to date. The jump to the Nikon 105mm 1.4 E Lens is a significant investment, and had the Samyang had AF, I likely would not be making […]

50mm 1.4 AIS Lens For a Day ( Review )
/in Lenses, Reviews/by Adrian WagnerI have been longing for a 1.4 lens… to explore the delicious bokeh, to be a master of night, to ramble on like a wanna poet on my blog. Anyway, I went the cheap route, and ordered a Nikkor 50mm 1.4 AI-S Lens on ebay from Japan.
Samyang 24mm 1.4 Manual Focus Lens Review
/in Family, Lenses, Reviews/by Adrian WagnerThis is my first 1.4 lens – and it feels like the most unique focal length aperture combo I have played with so far.
