Oct 2, 2024 | shotkit.com | Marc Bergreen

So you’re interested in a Sony ZV-E10 camera review? You’ve come to the right place. This will be a comprehensive review of one of the most popular vlogging cameras on the market.

Samyang 50mm f/1.4 Lens Review

Aug 5, 2024 | shotkit.com | Marc Bergreen

With the release of the Samyang 50mm f/1.4 II in November 2021, I was excited about the idea of a fast prime with a low price tag. The 50mm lens is a classic focal length, but a super fast f/1.4 version is often very expensive. Not the Samyang 50mm f/1.4 II. For roughly US$400, you can get a lot of the performance of a more expensive lens without spending the $1-2k that is usually required to get a name-brand lens of similar design.

It’s not often that you find a lens with such a broad focal range that also has a fast aperture. I knew this lens was going to be perfect for capturing photos and videos in places where it’s impractical to change lenses. I’ve been testing this lens for several months now and can confirm that it exceeded my expectations.

Aug 1, 2024 | shotkit.com | Marc Bergreen

I’ve been eyeing the 135mm focal length for years now. It’s the king of bokeh. When I finally got my hands on the Samyang 135mm f/1.8, I was captivated by the blurry backdrops and sharp portraits. For my portrait work, the 85mm focal length has been a staple for many years, but now I can’t get enough of the 135mm focal length.

Jul 18, 2024 | shotkit.com | Marc Bergreen

When the DJI Mavic 3 Pro was released in May of 2023, I knew it was going to be the drone for me. Every generation of DJI drones seems to get a little better and more powerful.
