A few years ago, I was embarrassingly very vocal about how disappointed I was about some of the Nikon lenses.

When the Nikon 28mm f1. 4 came in for review and was announced, I was a bit hesitant. Why? Well, while I was excited about the lens for sure, I'm still not a person that believes that DSLRs are necessarily the future despite the fact that I acknowledge how good they are. thephoblographer.com »

How much has camera image quality improved over the past decade and a half? Photographer Jeff Rey recently decided to see by doing a simple test with his Nikon D200 crop sensor CCD DSLR, a camera that was originally announced back in 2005 with a price tag of $1,700 (over $2,200 in today’s dollars). “I […]
