Lens & Filter Reviews

I recently invested in a Canon L series lens, splashed out a lot of dosh for it so natually felt complelled to protect the front element (as you do). However I found myself in a paradoxical situation where after investing in some serious glass, I was...

This lens came out back in 1993 and was a main-stay all-in-one.....until Canon finally came out with a 28-300mm with IS fairly recently, and thus ended the run of this excellent lens. It's not always an easy lens to find, but I highly recommend any...

Maybe its because we use these tacking irons a lot in our studio, but it seems that the heat controller does not last. Its too bad they cannot be repaired, because we now have a drawer full of tacking irons with faulty heat controls. It is a shame what...

Leica-Powered Currently available only with the Panasonic DMC-L1 DSLR, this unusually sharp, distortion-free, and image-stabilized 14-50mm f/2.8-3.5 AF gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "kit zoom." A 28-100mm equivalent, it's Leica-branded but...

This is a great kit lens. It holds up well, is pretty easy to clean, and has some great glass. I've been using this mostly as a zoom lens, but it also works well for close-up/macro photography. The only thing I don't like about it is that it just...

Everyone with a Canon A-series camera should get one of these lenses. The problem with amateur phtotgraphy is that SLRs are so bulky. The main reason I bought a Canon A70 was that it is the only pocket point-and-shoot camera that I could find that lets...

I bought these filters because they were cheap and because I wanted to play around with them on my 50 mm f1.8. The depth of field is quite small with these filters on at 1.8. But for the price they are a great deal and i can't want to fully use them....

I like this lens very much. But seems like I always opt for either my 50mm f1.0 or the 21mm f1.4. As a general rule, I find 35mm lenses a bit neither here nor there. Certainly many people still prefer 35mm lens for their general day to day use, and I...

Constructed mainly from made lightweight aluminium alloy, the Sonnar T FE 35mm f/2.8 ZAlens is very well built, with a metal lens body and focusing ring. It has a very solid, chromed mounting plate that attaches to the camera with a firm click.

There's little doubt that the lens represents some of the best optical engineering to date, and that the purchase of the lens represents an investment that's not likely to lose its value. For Nikon shooters, the 70-200mm lens has been the

Panasonic's Lumix G 42.5mm f/1.7 ASPH./POWER O.I.S. lens is a strong performer that delivers sharp images across most of its aperture range. Edge-to-edge sharpness of frames is very good for such a fast lens and other potential aberrations are either...

Conclusions The Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM is a worthy update to its well-regarded predecessor. It carries a premium price when compared with third-party options like the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM Art, which remains a solid option for photographers on a...
