Review: Sony E PZ 18-110mm f/4 G OSS Servo Zoom Lens Takes Home Editors' Choice Award

chrismonlux - Tue, 07/25/2017 - 4:27pm

The Sony E PZ 18-110mm f/4 G OSS is the perfect lens for the Sony FS7 II. It excels with its servo controlled zoom and image stabilization. We would have liked it to have a wider aperture than f/4. The image looks nice and it’s rich with usable features.

Review: Xeen 14mm T3.1, 35mm T1.5 & 85mm T1.5 Cine Primes Look Great at the Right Price

chrismonlux - Tue, 07/18/2017 - 9:25am

Xeen has made super affordable and great looking cine lenses. Though we wish they all had the same length for ease of use with a matte box, their price of $2,500 dollars makes it a small price to pay for such value.

Review: Canon 77D Offers a Step up from Canon's Rebel Line

chrismonlux - Mon, 07/10/2017 - 2:58pm

The 77D is the most feature rich camera for its price point, though there are cameras with better options for just a few hundred dollars more. The camera isn’t a dynamic range monster, but does have the Canon look. We liked the camera, and its price makes it a great option.
