While you were out, the digital-only superzoom got more super. Tamron, originator of the superzoom lens more than a decade ago, ups the ante with its new 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 optic -- boasting the industry's broadest zoom range, at nearly 14X (13.9X). A...

Conclusions There's no questioning the resolving power of the Pentax D FA 100mm F2.8 Macro WR. At its peak it has no problem making the most of the high-resolution image sensor used by the Pentax K-1. It's also priced reasonably, built sturdily, sealed...

The Sony DT 16-105mm F3.5-5.6 is a lens which certainly promises a lot, with a tremendously useful zoom range wrapped up in a surprisingly compact body. It may not at first glance have the headline-grabbing attraction of those superzooms which sport...

But the price tag that comes with the Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G is high, especially when compared with the excellent Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM. The Sigma lens delivers images that are sharper at f/1.4, and its flat field of focus ensures edges are going to be...

If you are serious about making photography your professional career, this is a good lense to buy. You can almost photograph a mote of dust, or at least a drop of water with its minute reflections. A great buy.

Conclusions The Pentax SMC FA 645 55-110mm f/5.6 is a solid workhorse lens for medium format photographers who have invested in the Pentax 645 system. It's not a standout performer like the company's excellent HD D FA 645 Macro 90mm F2.8 ED AW SR , but...

The Tamron SP 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II VC (B005) offers some very appealing features for those in the market for a fast, moderately wide zoom lens. Image quality is quite good when the lens is stopped down, however we saw some unwanted softness when...

The EF-S 18-200mm F3.5-5.6 IS is a lens which many Canon users have been waiting for with great anticipation, as an ideal 'all-in-one' lens for travel and 'walkaround' use. In the flesh it behaves much as we'd expect from such an ambitious design, as...

Conclusions The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM is a solid zoom lens. It delivers crisper images than the 18-55mm that ships with many entry-level Rebel cameras, and more than doubles its zoom range. Its focus motor is more powerful than the...

Like many other reviewers, I purchased the set mainly for the CPL filter. It simply doesn't work. The result is some skewed gradient that appears across the image at odd angles. I also notice small hairline scratches appearing all over the surface of...

Oh what a neat filter system!! Is it plastic for everything but the adapter rings? Yup! But everything works perfect. I will never use every filter in this kit, but I have them if I want to play. If your like me and can't afford 1000 - 1500 USD for a...

Released in October of 2011, this second iteration of Sigma's stabilized 11.1X all-in-one zoom ($499, street) offers two seemingly significant upgrades: a high-tech FLD glass element, plus Sigma's silent HSM focusing motor. This APS-C-only zoom is the...

ND filters remain one of the most useful on-camera accessories you can have, because they give you an immediate creative solution that can't be replicated in Photoshop – yet! So a variable, screw-in (if rather expensive) ND like this definitely has its...

The Pentax SMC DA 18-135mm F/3.5-5.6 ED AL (IF) DC WR is a very enticing option for Pentax SLR owners. It boasts a solid 7.5x zoom range, an excellent build, an a weather-sealed design. But at the end of the day, it's all about image quality. And while...

Folds up to a very compact shape, but extends to shield stray light from the lens. I think it is much nicer then the usual hard plastic hoods. The price is extremely reasonable and I think this is a very high quality item.

I do a lot of outdoor landscape type photograhy and wanted something a little wider than my 17-50 Tamron f/2.8 to utilize as well. After doing some searching and reading reviews I decided on the Tokina 11-16. I wanted something "wide" but I did not...

I bought one of these to take to on a trip to Jamaica. It worked great for sunset photos on the beach, then I tried to take it off. It took so much effort to get off I thought I was going to damage the valuable lens it was attached to. I thought I just...
