This way we can cover many more lenses than I could alone and it is also a lot more fun than working alone.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about us you can check out our portraits in the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/photography\/manual-photographers\/\">manual photographers series<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We have an active <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/phillipreeve.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">facebook<\/a>\u00a0site where we announce our latest articles but you can also use it to get in contact with us.<\/p>\n<p>David is our only native English speaker so we are happy about any reported spelling mistake we can correct.<\/p>\n<h3>Ethics Statement<\/h3>\n<p>Your trust is very important to us\u00a0and we try to be very transparent \u00a0in our approach to reviewing lenses and other gear. This is mostly a hobby project and our independence is very important to us. That&#8217;s why we buy most of the gear we review without any manufacturer rebate. Whenever we borrow a lens from a manufacturer for a review we will mention this in the first paragraph of an article. We will never accept any money or free gear from a manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>We generate some income from this site by using affiliate links. If you click on such a link and buy anything in the following 24 hours we will earn a small percentage of your purchase from that shop.
