My relationship with manual glass is a tug of war between nostalgia and performance. While I appreciate "vintage character," I generally demand clinical, razor sharp rendering. I have little patience for "glow" when it’s just an excuse for poor wide open performance. When I picked up the Voigtlander 50mm f/1.2 Nokton II from Cameraquest, I was skeptical. Generally speaking, fast primes including Leica often implies "soft until f/2.8." However, Voigtlander has a pretty solid record of de ... Read the story

In the world of modern photography, where specs and megapixels often steal the show, there's a quieter magic at play, the way light and shadow sculpt a scene, and how a subject is gently separated from its world. This is the realm where the Zeiss Otus 50mm 1.4 lives. The version ised for these photos is the ML Z model ( for Nikon ) , a more compact and nimble lens designed for mirrorless systems. To call it just a lens is a disservice. It feels more like an extension of your own eye, an instru ... Read the story

Born from Voigtlander's tradition of combining classic design with modern optical engineering, this lens stands out not merely for its sharp, premium, all metal build, but for its headline grabbing maximum aperture of f/1.0. In a world increasingl ... Read the story

Nestled on the flank of a majestic snow capped volcano, this historic landmark was a public works project during the Great Depression. The structure was hand built by hundreds of unemployed workers and local artisans, using native stone and timber from the surrounding forest. The architectural style, a blend of rustic design and the Arts and Crafts movement, is a unique form sometimes called "Cascadian." Famous for its massive central hexagonal stone chimney and its interior, where nearly all t ... Read the story

Wearing a 'Charlie Kirk had it coming' jacket at a transgender vigil is not activism,  it's hypocrisy. It actively diminishes the moral authority of the event and gives critics easy grounds to dismiss the community's entirely legitimate call to end violence. The message should be unity against violence, not selective endorsement of it.

Love the facial details.  The tired eyes belye his relaxed, neutral expression.  By the way, the cool hat logo belongs to Dragon Eyeglasses.
