Lens & Filter Reviews

Warranty repair improved performance of the lens but not to the expected level. Next time I will buy at local store.

Item arrived from USA, not UK as expected. Contrary to other two reviews there were no instructions at all, let alone protective gloves or cleaning cloth. As far as I am concerned the reviews were misleading and I am not happy.

Metal construction and fits the EXD lights set just fine. A cover on the end enables you to use different gels (the name for the plastic colored disks that change the light) and/or a honeycomb grid output to keep the light focused in even tighter....

The Nikon 18 - 135 mm zoom Nikkor is an excellent lens for the amateur or enthusiast photographer. The build quality is typical Nikon amateur standard, the lens lacks an aperture ring so is limited to use on DSLRs, and the zoom and focus rings are a...

Pentax are good at designing prime lenses and this is no exception. Bought to have a far wide end lens - especially for landscape. It has proven to be much more versatile than just that. Used it in just about every situation apart from bird watching....

This is a nice wide lens. It focuses ok on my Sony a77. Even in low light. One can't complain with the performance. Light weight and I can use my Cokin series P ND grad on it with no problems. It is soft on the corners and gets worse as I get wider but...

Similar to the Tokina variant the Pentax SMC DA 12-24mm f/4 AL ED [IF] is greatultra-wide zoom lens although it isn't free of flaws. The sweet spot of the lens is at thewide end of the zoom range where the center quality is outstanding and the borders...

For an inexpensive step up in both versatility and quality over your kit lens, the Sigma DC 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 is worth a look. The image quality isn’t top of the class, but for the money it’s quite acceptable and there are a couple of useful features,...

A super wide-angle zoom aimed primarily at landscape and architecture photographers with a more affordable price and a slightly wider range than the camera makers' own models...is there a catch? We aim to find out.

This is OK for the money. I haven't tried the TP lense yet--because I bought this for the WA lense and haven't tried the TP yet. There seems to be a little bit of blur towards the edges. It's not a major problem for what I need, but it's probably...

I have the Nikon version of this lens. Everything about it is odd - but I like it. The lens mounts sideways on my Nikon cameras. As a result, I have to hold the camera by its MB-D## grip to look down and read the scales. It is heavy, and solid, and the...

Very cheep wide angle converter which is compatible from 27 to 37 mm camera filter lens. Very good to films skateboarding and snowboardings films. Wide angle effects adds speed and make your tricks looks bigger.

The Olympus ED 18-180mm f/3.5-6.3 is less wide than some others in its range, with a 36mm film equivalent at the short end, but it has a greater reach at the long end.

I'm a simi-pro videographer with high standards. Overall, I'm disappointed with the Raynox. The sample I received is adequate for some non-critical work, but isn't good enough to be considered "high-definition" by anyone's standards. The center 1/3...

Combined with Nodal Ninja rotating tripod heads, I'm using this lens to produce equirectangular 360deg x 180deg panoramas. Six shots in 60deg increments work perfectly when stitched with Hugin or AutoPano. Limited depth of field is a problem --- I find...

To start, it is an inexpensive lens that I use to create a wide angle view using my camcorder....It uses threat adapters to fit my JVC camera, which I am not too crazy about, but it works and it was cheap to buy. Of course, you can spend a lot of...

Doubles Focus as stated, shots of soft. Slow in AF. Gets the job done, but don't expect sharp photos.

This average quality gaff tape, nothing really to comment on here just high quality tape. My only peeves are that it doesn't seem to be as flexible as higher quality tapes and the cardboard core is much smaller than is standard, although that may be a...

The Leica D 14-50mm is certainly a unique proposition: it is after all the only optically stabilised lens in the Four Thirds fit at the time of writing. So if you have a Four Thirds camera and want a stabilised lens, you literally have no other choice....

I have used a Promaster lens for 4 years, and it has never let me down. For the price and versatility the lens is exceptionally sharp. It has a great macro and is a light weight lens. The lens has aspherical glass to prevent image distortion and...

Speed. The AF drive for Sigma SA, Canon and Nikon S.L.R. cameras features the ultra-quiet Hyper Sonic Motor (H.S.M.). This new lens also incorporates a rotary filter holder in the rear part of the lens barrel, which enables the use of a polarizing...

Pros: Light wieght nice swivel foot. cons: The leg locks don't hold. The hand strap is cheap. I will have to buy a separate head if I keep using it. I like how light this mono pod is, but I have had trouble with the legs staying locked. The twist lock...
