As is the case for most special-application lenses, it comes down to whether or not you know you need it. Optically, we're impressed - it's pretty much as sharp as you can get, even wide open, and steps up to the demanding power of the 24-megapixel A900.

CA (Chromatic Aberration) is very well controlled. Vignetting is minimal. Distortion is negligible. Although it has 8 aperture blades, bokeh (quality of OOF areas) is only OK (not as smooth as the Canon 100mm Macro for example).

Panasonic has done well with this lens. The ability to autofocus during movie mode was an absolute must for the saleability of the GH-1, which required a fast, silent autofocus mechanism;

Samsung has made an intelligent play with the 45mm ƒ/1.8. 3D photography and videography is relatively new, and at the time of writing, it's not clear if it will take off or not.

The Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD is the best superzoom lens we've tested to date. It's not without some shortcomings, but it covers an absurd zoom range for a reasonable price, without being too bulky for everyday use. The maximum aperture is...

The M.Zuiko 12-100mm f/4 IS Pro has a lot going for it. The Pro-level optics are sharp, colored flare and colored fringing are kept to a minimum, the 24-200mm range and 0.6x magnification (full-frame equivalent) make the lens one that a lot of...

Muse owners may want to give the Edge 80 a pass, since it's just a little bit awkward to use with the push-pull focus and tilt system that it employs. But if you shoot with a Composer Pro, and are serious enough about Lensbaby photography to consider...

Conclusions Macro lenses generally put sharpness above all, and the Nikon AF-S Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED is no exception. The lens captures images that are look great at wider apertures, and are razor sharp when stopped down. It's a strong choice for...

The 16-50mm is a full stop faster and a fraction sharper than the 17-70mm we tested last month. However, it feels noticeably more substantial in terms of handling and build quality, with a solid, weighty feel and impressive controls

The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is a sharp telephoto zoom, but its aperture is anything but ambitious.

It seems like everyone's kit can make great use of a telephoto zoom lens and with the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM Lens being the least expensive Canon full frame option, it garners attention. The technology upgrades appearing in this lens make...

Item as described and screwed straight onto my Panasonic FZ72 camera. Nice to know I now have some protection for my lens and hopefully some UV protection so less glare is shown on my photos.

Construction of this 50mm Lens is definitely the bargain value meaning all plastic. Just giving the item a shake you can hear something inside has some play or maybe it's just the focus elements moving. Either way it has the reliability of plastic so...

It's just a first couple hours of use and I love it already. Bit tricky with manual focus, need more time to get used to it. Definitely worth buying if you want to have some fun from time to time. Lens feels and looks good and does the job. Very happy...
