Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS lens review
Combining both a fast f/1.4 aperture and optical image stabilization, the Canon EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM rejects the choice between speed and stability, finally delivering a prime lens that gives photographers the best of both worlds. The $1,600 prime is worthy of joining any enthusiast or pro’s kit.

Fujifilm X-T100 review
The X-T100 is Fujifilm’s least expensive camera with a built-in electronic viewfinder and carries on the standard of design excellence that the X Series is known for.

Pentax HD FA 50mm f/1.4 SDM AW lens review
Made of 15 glass elements and weighing in at a 2 pounds, the Pentax Star series 50mm F1.4 is no ordinary 50mm lens. The $1,200 premium prime seeks to compete with the likes of the Sigma Art series, and it easily succeeds, giving Pentax DSLR shooters a great option for a high-end normal focal length lens.
The Mission Workshop Radian is the one bag to rule them all
With durable construction, adaptability to any environment, and enough capacity for cameras, computers, and a week’s worth of clothes, the Radian is one epic adventure pack. Starting at nearly $600, it’s also one of the most expensive bags we’ve ever tested. But if you can afford it, it can’t be beat.
Pentax K-1 II review
The original K-1 felt like a purpose-built camera for landscape photographers, but the Mark II offers little in the way of tangible improvements. It’s still good a camera in the right conditions, but it doesn’t warrant an upgrade -- especially in the presence of fiercer competition.
