“Pancake” type lenses enjoy widespread popularity among photographers. It is not always a rational feeling - such devices feature average fastness and the offered image quality on the edge of the frame is not of the highest calibre. Despite that fact...

Below iso 400 images are at best good but lack punch (sharpness,clarity, contrast,saturation), auto white balance is unpredictable, the hd video ability is ruined totally by the speaker placement, as wind noise is present even on a bright sunny day,...

Great lens if you need to recreate those sweeping vistas used in the Mad Max movies or any film where you need a great big landscape shot. If you watch 'Die Hard' most of the wide shots were on a wide angle lens so you might spot the slight leaning in...

I hate flash (bounced, diffused, off-camera, or otherwise) and shoot available light whenever possible. But no matter how good your equipment and how strong your dislike, sometimes there's just no way around needing a strobe. For those moments, this...

I have to comment that I think that many people are missing the point of this lens....

The Sony FE 70-200mm f/4 Macro G OSS II doesn't quite fall into the exalted trinity but has some major plus points and is a worthy upgrade to the original lens

The Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 Di III VXD skips wide angle coverage in favor of a brighter aperture, making it a strong lens for event and portrait photographers, especially those who favor the blurred-background look.

Tamron's 11-20mm F2.8 Di III-A RXD lens is a wide, weather-protected zoom for Fuji X and Sony E mirrorless cameras with sharp, but not stabilized, optics.

Tamron's 17-70mm F2.8 Di III-A VC RXD lens upgrades your Sony APS-C mirrorless to net shots with blurred backgrounds and outstandingly sharp results.

Nikon's new mirrorless cameras now have a bright, versatile workhorse zoom that can be used without an adapter. So just how does the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S stack up? We put it through the paces to see if this premium lens is worth its $2,300 price.

Bottom Line: The Panasonic Lumix S Pro 70-200mm F4 O.I.S. lens is very well built, with internal zoom and weather protection, but its resolution disappoints.

It's rather an understatement to say that Canon have been less than supportive of their APS-C sensor, EF-M mount camera range. With just 8 native lenses released since the system was launched 8 years ago, there's been very little opportunity to...

Haven't used the Nikon PC-E 24mm and probably will never try it as this Samyang lens is already giving me everything I need. I have been shooting with this lens for a few weeks and use it as a general walk around lens. This may not be what it is...

Image Quality and Conclusions I used Imatest to see how sharp the lens was when paired with the 20-megapixel 6D. At f/1.4 it puts up excellent sharpness numbers, scoring 2,360 lines per picture height on a center-weighted test. That's better than the...

The new Pentax extender provides a welcome 40% of extra focal length when one of their existing lenses isn't quite long enough. It is well made and simple to use. Although compatible with only a limited subset of Pentax lenses, it is an inexpensive way...

Having read some reviews about this filter that said the coating and the filter itself are a bit fragile I handled it very carefully. Its first usage was to do some long exposure shoreline shots. Took it from its holder, screwed it on the lens, took...

Using it with the 14mm pancake. Corners a bit blurrier than without it, a bit more chromatic aberrations (on Olympus body) and straight lines are now less straight when the objects are nearby, but all that is inevitable when using even such tailor-made...

This simply blows air. Nothing else. Use the $45 to have your camera professionally cleaned.
