The term „action camera“ is not exactly accurate anymore for the latest generation of the original action cam. I already said in our GoPro Hero6 review back in 2017 that these types of cameras are shifting away from the cliché of only being useful for sports shoots or family videos. I recently stumbled across the […]

The Fringer EF-FX Pro II is an electronic lens adapter that allows Canon EF and EF-S lenses to be mounted on to Fujifilm X-cameras. Because of the electronic transmission, auto focus, image stabilization and aperture are supported and are correctly being displayed on the camera’s screen. Keep in mind that the camera’s crop doesn’t change.

The Sirui 35mm F/1.8 is a manual anamorphic lens with a Micro Four Thirds mount. When recording video in 16:9 the footage needs to be squeezed in to a 2.40:1 aspect ratio to be displayed correctly. This can be done easily in pretty much any editing software by forcing the 16:9 footage into a different

Cheap lenses don’t always have to feel cheap. The Meike 25mm F/1.8 is a lens that feels like a premium vintage lens even though it’s quite the opposite. The 75 Euro/USD lens is made for crop APS-C cameras. It equals a 35mm to 40mm full-frame lens, depending on the camera that is being used. The

I recently got a Fujifilm X100V to test for a day. Spoiler: It’s not a camera that is meant to be used to capture video. It has a fixed 23mm F/2 lens (35mm in full-frame) and no IBIS or OIS. But I thought, why not give it a try? The ergonomics feel good and very

Motion controlled timelapses look great but are often complicated to setup and require a lot of different components. I have used several sliders and pan-tilt heads over the past six years. But often found them to be impractical to use because they took long to setup and required many cables. Earlier this year I took
