Lenses

Even the best camera won’t get you far without good lenses. That’s why you’ll find a selection of hands-on reviews here—mainly for Fujifilm X-Mount and Nikon F-Mount lenses.

Since I’m always on the hunt for a good deal, most of the lenses featured here are affordable options. That includes vintage Nikkor glass that’s been around for decades, as well as budget-friendly entry-level lenses from Asia.

In recent years, several brands have made a name for themselves in the budget segment—offering surprisingly solid lenses at low prices. Companies like TTArtisan, 7Artisans, and Viltrox are among them. What you can realistically expect for your money? You’ll find out below.
