New Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 for X-Mount. Unbox, 1st Impressions + Vlogging ...


It's finally arrived, the Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 for Fujifilm X Mount. If you currently have the Fujifilm XF10-24mm f/4 R OIS WR but you always wished it was faster, the Tamron is a good option. It has less range than the Fujifilm lens, but you're one stop faster. Is that a good enough trade-off for you and your photography and/or videography? If you're a vlogger, perhaps it is. If you're a landscape photographer, perhaps not. Check out my unboxing and first impressions of this compact ultrawide zoom lens.

A Functional Vintage-Design LED Light for your Studio? The HoboLite Mini


The LED lighting market has exploded in the past few years with more powerful, portable, and feature-rich products. These lights might not be the most exciting products to look at or talk about, but they're essential for content creators. The HoboLite Mini is different. Yes, it's a functional LED light, compact, powerful, useful, etc. What makes this lighting system stand out is its design. As soon as I saw it I wanted to review it. As soon as I had it, I wanted to touch it and play with it. As soon as I played with it, I wanted to start using it. 

This video is just my unboxing and first impressions. Please wait for my full review. So far this light is working awesome for me and my needs. Thanks JoeDAgostinoPhoto for introducing me to the team over at Hobolite. Please check out Joe's videos on their entire lighting system, as well as Hobolite's own Youtube channel.

What Does a $500 Camera Bag Look Like? The Billingham 307


If you're a photographer, you've heard the name Billingham. They've been making bags since 1973, and many of the original ones are still around today. Made in England, these very British-looking bags were originally meant for fishing and hunting. However, the founders Martin and Ros Billingham realized New York photographers were using them as camera bags, and the rest is history. I've always seen the Billingham bags around, but I've never had the opportunity to use one myself, until now. I decided to review the biggest 7-series bag, the 307. At $498 USD retail, is this bag worth it? I think so, and in this video, I explain why. Thank you Billingham USA for sending me a copy for review. I promise to take good care of it. Let me know if you own a Billingham bag, and if so, which ones are your favourites? If you want me to review another Billingham bag, let me know in the comments.Thanks for watching!

Unboxing and First Look: Samyang 75mm for Fujifilm X Mount.


This is my first Samyang lens review, and I'm pretty excited. I've heard good things about their 12mm f/2 for Fujifilm X Mount, but I never had the opportunity to test it. For this video I get an early look at the AF 75mm f/1.8 for Fujifilm X Mount. This is just my unboxing and first look. Please wait for my shooting review as well as my article for Fujilove Magazine.
