G Dan Mitchell Photography

This page contains links to articles and posts I’ve written about photographic equipment that I use (or, in some cases, have used or studied extensively), including my tests, reviews, and subjective opinions related to DSLR and other camera bodies, lenses, tripods, bags, and other gear. (There is also a simple list of my current equipment.)

When I purchase online I most often click on B&H Photo, along with many other photographers to make my purchases. If the information on my web site helps you with your decision and you are purchasing from B&H, please consider going there through links to B&H found on this site to make your purchase, since doing so helps support the operation of this web site. (Your cost will be the same whether you go to B&H directly or through these links.)

Thanks,

Dan
