I went through many lenses for the VIXIA HF S21, including those recommended by Canon (the WD-H58 for example). This is a great choice if you don't want the heavy WD-H58 but still want 0.7x demagnification. Fits on the camera perfectly, and the full...

I have used this teleconverter with my Nikon D3200 and a Sigma 70-300mm Lens (Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG Macro For Nikon Digital & Film Cameras), the converter worked superbly, whilst there was a little loss in quality it was hardly noticeable. The one...

After several days waiting for dropshipping from Pentax, I received the lens. It's heavy and good quality. very sharp picture. Pentax's SDM makes the lens quietly and quickly auto-focus. I love it very much!

We doubt you need too much reminding about Samsung's "hybrid DSLR" shooter -- it's not every day you hear of a 14.6 megapixel APS-C sensor strapped inside a mi...

I've used it for one photoshoot so far and already have to change the battery in the remote unit (one battery for remote unit and one for camera unit). It feels a bit toyish in my hand but when the battery works, it does its job, so I can't complain much.

This is definitely a lens adapter for the casual photography fan. There is considerable distortion on the edges of the picture that only gets worse when you zoom. The fisheye lens itself ends up being extremely bulky after you add it to the end of your...

I bought this lens because I was looking for something a little longer than my 300mm. I wanted to try and get some pictures of wildlife and maybe aircraft. It's not a bad lens for that but there seems to be some aberation if there is alot of light. ...

The Sigma AF 135-400mm f/4.5-5.6 APO Aspherical RF is not a perfect lens nor can you expect that a budget lens reaches high end quality levels. Nonetheless it is capable to provide very decent results especially in the 135-300mm range. At 400mm @ f/5.6...

The Sony 70-400mm F4-5.6 G SSM II is a solid telezoom option for A-mount SLR photographers. It offers a good range and image quality that ranges from acceptable to outstanding. You have to remember to narrow the aperture when shooting beyond 250mm for...

I read some reviews of accessories like this and was a little afraid that it could get stuck or damage the lens, but after using it for two months and taking 200 pictures, I have never seen it fail to open or close. It's very handy because it makes...

On its own merits, the Nikon 85mm ƒ/3.5 micro is a good lens; it shows a slight defect in the top left corner that could be distinct to just this sample.

The fourth version of Tamron's popular 10.7X superzoom since 1999, this 28-300mm ($600, street) is the first Tamron to offer image stabilization. Called "VC" for "Vibration Compensation," the system is the industry's first to use a three-coil design...

While it's not tack-sharp when used wide-open, the Canon EF 50mm ƒ/1.4 USM is still quite good, and stopped down to ƒ/4 image quality is excellent. At ƒ/8, it's as sharp as sharp gets.

Conclusions If you're a wide-angle shooter, the Pentax HD DA 15mm F4 ED AL Limited is the smallest, lightest lens you can get for your APS-C Pentax SLR system. It's not the widest; there's an older 14mm f/2.8 prime, but it's downright huge in...

Conclusions The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II ASPH. Mega O.I.S. isn't a lens that you'll be chomping at the bit to own, but it's a fine starter zoom for photographers entering the Micro Four Thirds system. When purchased along with a...

Canon's EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L IS USM lens covers an incredible zoom range and works with full-frame cameras, but its price and just-ok optics make it a tough sell.

Image Quality and Conclusions The lens is intended for use with APS-C (Super 35) and Four Thirds sensors, but it can mount on full-frame cameras. I used it with the full-frame Nikon D810 . The D810 has a DX (APS-C) in-camera crop mode which utilizes...

The Samsung 16-50mm f/2-2.8 S ED OIS is a big, heavy, expensive lens, but it's also an ambitious one. The only other zoom lens that captures this much light and covers an APS-C image sensor is the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 for SLRs; but it doesn't include...
