The first full Irix 11mm f/4 review is out and it looks very impressive

The Irix 11mm f/4 isn’t quite available yet, but the reviews have started coming in already.

This is how Canon’s f/0.95 Dream Lens performs on a Sony mirorless body

Do you use a DLSR lens on a mirrorless camera? Have you ever considered buying a “Dream Lens” for it? It’s pricey and relatively rare, so it’s worth thinking it through.

DIYP Reviews the Saramonic UwMic9 Dual Wireless Lavalier Microphone Kit

Getting good quality audio is often the biggest challenge faced by DSLR & mirrorless video shooters. The microphones built into most cameras are notoriously bad.
