The Sigma 15mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary replaces the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary in Sigma’s lineup, and so far, it sounds like an excellent lens. ePhotozine published its full review of the Sigma 15mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary using a 24mp APS-C Canon body, and it is making me want to pick one up for astrophotography in the future. You can read the full review here or check out the excerpt below:

The new 15mm lens is 50% lighter, 30% shorter and has a reduced filter size from 67mm to 58mm, when compared to the 16mm f/1.4 lens that it replaces… another fine new lens from Sigma that is Highly Recommended.

Pros

  • Excellent central sharpness
  • Very good edge sharpness
  • Low distortion
  • Low CA
  • Fast, accurate and virtually silent AF
  • Dust and splash-resistant construction
  • Low vignetting
  • Low flare
  • Excellent handling
  • Light and compact

Cons

  • No IS

Shoten GXTZ GFX to Z Mount Adapter Coming Spring 2026

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 26, 2026


Shoten is showing off a new GFX to Nikon Z mount addapter the Shoten GXTZ. The adapter will be available in spring 2026 for 63,000 yen or about $403.72. GFX lenses are a bit overkill for Z-mount cameras, but I am sure they will enjoy having access to an aperture ring.

Fujifilm has a FUJIFILM GFX ETERNA 55 simulator that you can use here. It’s interesting to go through the menus, but I wish the record function had a video attached so you could see how certain settings would work in real life.

Space: Fujifilm X-M5 Review – Surprisingly Strong Astro Results

By Louis Ferreira | Published: February 21, 2026

The Fujifilm X-M5 has been out for a while now, but a unique website Space.com has published a review of the camera that might interest readers. If you are into astrophotography or want to get into it, the review might be worth a look. Otherwise, you can check out the summary below:

What they liked (especially for astro):

  • Surprisingly strong night-sky results for a non-specialist APS-C camera, including recognizable shots of Orion (with M42 visible), the Big Dipper, Pleiades (M45), Beehive (M44), plus Sirius and Jupiter when using faster XF glass.
  • Lens choice matters a lot: the reviewer got good constellation/deep-sky results with the kit lens, but stepping up to faster primes (e.g., XF 18mm f/1.4) revealed more detail.
  • Portability and “grab camera” appeal: they found themselves reaching for it more than larger bodies for casual/street shooting because it’s so small.

Main drawbacks / limitations:

  • High-ISO noise is the bottleneck: around ISO 2,000–2,500 they saw noticeable luminance and color noise on close inspection, and ISO 25,600 was described as very noisy and “largely unusable.”
  • No EVF (electronic viewfinder): composition and shooting are screen-based only, which can be annoying for precision work.
  • Big XF lenses can feel front-heavy on the tiny body (the kit lens balances best; larger zooms can feel unbalanced).
