Fuji X100 Mark II Wide and Tele Conversion Lens Review (28mm & 50mm)
The Fuji X100 series has been incredibly popular since the very first version and I was excited to buy my own X100F as soon as it was announced. The camera has a fixed 23mm f/2 lens on it that delivers an angle of view that’s equivalent to a 35mm lens on a full frame camera, but Fuji have been selling two conversion lenses for a number of years. Alongside the X100F launch, they also launched new “mark II” versions of these 28mm and 50mm conversion lenses. Throughout this review, I’ll be referring to the conversion lenses by using their 35mm …

Sony 200-600mm and 600mm Available for Preorder
I don’t post about all new products available for preorder, but I have a feeling the new Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS is going to be insanely popular. If you want one, you should definitely preorder! The last great Sony FE lens that was launched, the 24mm f/1.4 GMaster, still isn’t readily available 6 months after its release because stores are still working through backorders! Oh yeah, and the $13,000 600mm f/4 GM is also available to order, but I’m guessing there aren’t going to be quite as many of those flying off the virtual shelves! Sony FE 200-600mm …
