30Aug Rokinon 35mm f1.4 Review video
The Rokinon 35mm f1.4 lens can be found under the name Samyang as well as Bower and Vivitar. Basically all of these lenses have the same component parts with slightly different branding. Regardless of which brand you pick, this 35mm f1.4 lens was designed as a less expensive alternative to other 35mm offerings on the […]
23Aug Yongnuo YN 565EX – First Impressions
I don’t do a lot of flash photography so i’ve been considering selling off a few of my Canon 580EX II speedlites and replacing them with some cheaper off brand models before the new Canon 600EX-RT drives used 580EX II prices into the ground. But before I sell off two out of the three 580EX II’s in […]
14Aug Nexus 7 tablet mount option for your DSLR RIG video overview
Here’s a quick video covering the adapter setup I posted yesterday. The case provides quit a bit of protection with the over sized lip along the front and around the sides, the clamp seems very secure.

If you’re just working as a photographer, having only 2 batteries would probably be fine, but if you’re using your camera for film making don’t expect much more then an hour and […]
26Jul Canon 40mm f2.8 lens tested with the Okii usb follow focus controller
The Canon 40mm f2.8 lens uses an STM (stepper) motor that is supposed to provide much smoother focus when controlled by a camera like the t4i which utilizes full time auto focus in video mode. But how well does that motor perform with a USB follow focus controller? For these test I’m using the Okii USB follow focus, […]
23Jul Canon EOS-M, just a t4i without the mirror?
The Canon EOS-M announcement has been leaking out since Friday and it basically falls in line with everything people have been expecting. An 18mp APS-C sensor with AF detection, no mirror, not many control buttons, and a touch screen in a smaller package. If those specs sound familiar, it’s because the Canon EOS-M is basically a Canon t4i without […]
