Sigma has nicknamed its 105mm F1.4 Art the ‘bokeh master’ and after shooting it on the Sony a7R III, we’re beginning to understand why. Take a look at how this behemoth of a lens performs with some environmental portraits.

The Sigma 56mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary is a welcome addition to the Micro Four Thirds and Sony E-mount lens lineups, combining a sensible sub-$ 500 price tag and excellent performance. On Sony’s APS-C mirrorless cameras it offers an 85mm equivalent view, a favorite for portraits. Take a look at what it can do.

The 250mm F4 is Fujifilm’s longest lens for its medium-format system. It’s equivalent to about 200mm on a GFX camera, and we put it to work on some portraits as well as some scenes around Seattle’s waterfront – take a look.

Sigma holds its Art series lenses to a high standard, so our interest was piqued when the company’s CEO Kazuto Yamaki described the 40mm F1.4 as a ‘reference’ lens for the entire Global Vision range. While we had a chance to shoot with a pre-production model at Photokina, we were eager to really put the 40mm to work when a full production lens rolled into the office. Take a look at how it performed.

The Fujifilm XF 8-16mm F2.8 R LM WR promises to appeal to everyone from landscape to architectural photographers. It has 11 points of weather sealing, fast and quiet autofocus, and a field curvature correction element that adjusts according to focal length to reduce the curvature that often occurs in wide angle lenses. Does it live up to expectations? We’ve been shooting everywhere from the city streets to the Canadian Rockies to test it out.

Nikon’s D3500 DSLR is one of the best camera bargains out there, with a list price of $ 500 including a lens (and it will be even less on Black Friday). While it doesn’t have Nikon’s latest and greatest technology, this compact DSLR has a reliable 24MP sensor that produces impressive-looking photos. See how it captured tropical Kauai and chilly Seattle in our sample gallery.

We got our hands on Tamron’s second-generation SP 15-30mm F2.8 a couple of months ago at Photokina, and we’ve just started shooting with a copy for Nikon mount. The lens sports a number of internal enhancements, such as the addition of a second processor so that autofocus and stabilization are each handled by their own chip. See how we’ve gotten along with the lens so far.

The Nikon Z6 is the lower-resolution, faster sibling to the Z7, and has already shown impressive results in our studio tests. This week we joined Nikon in Orlando, Florida for some shooting with the Z6 outside of the studio. Take a look at the results and keep your eyes peeled for more from the Z6 soon.

We’ve been seriously impressed with the Fujifilm X-T3: not only did it receive a gold award, it’s also our top pick in three buying guides. Since publishing our full review we’ve continued shooting with it – sometimes on assignment, and sometimes because we just like it so gosh darn much. Take a look through our freshly-updated X-T3 sample gallery.

We’ve done a lot of shooting with Nikon’s Z7 since it came out. From landscapes to portraits and live music to cars shaped like giant shoes, it’s seen a lot of action. But none of that action is quite so dramatic as semi-professional wrestling.
Check out our updated sample gallery to see how the Z7 performed with the dramatic lighting and dramatic personas that are par for the course at an evening of DEFY wrestling here in Seattle.
