Who'd have thought Olympus' telephoto-happy Four Thirds format would turn out the best wide-angle lens of any system? Knock that price down and it'd be perfect

Worked well....until the unmanned aircraft crashed...no fault of the lens. It met the needs of the system and the customer.,

The Sony 135mm f/2.8 [T/4.5] STF is the ultimate cream machine. Regarding the quality of its bokeh (out-of-focus blur) it outclasses all other lenses tested to date so if this is a #1 priority for you just bow to the inevitable and go for it to enjoy...

The Voigtlander Nokton 58mm is made by Cosina in Japan. On Pentax DSLRs, it is equivalent to an 87mm lens - a very useful focal length for portrait photography. The lens is all-metal, but its online photographs don't really do it justice - it's a real...

Especially suited to full frame bodies, this lens puts the "ULTRA" into ultra wide angle lenses. It is also virtually free of rectilinear distortion.

Overall not a bad lens for the range you get versus price. Not as sharp as some of Canon's other none L lenses. It's an older lens made for film so the optics are not optimized for a digital sensor and the IS is an older generation so you only get a...

You can't kill this. I paid for pro-quality stuff so I could abuse it. From the Sahara to the summit of Aconcagua this hasn't missed a beat. Wicked fast AF. Clear and sharp. Fast. Shit lens hood, though. Mine has been duct-taped in place for 8 years.

The Sony E 70-350mm F4.5-6.3 G OSS is one of the only native telephoto zoom lenses for Sony's E-mount cropped-sensor mirrorless cameras. Before its release, fans of the Sony APS-C system would have had to use much bigger, more expensive full-frame FE...

For Olympus mirrorless cameras to be taken seriously by pros, they need to be backed up with some pro quality lenses – and this 300mm f/4 delivers the specs and image quality to make that happen.

Great for landscape photography. Zoom is not too powerful, but good enough to allow you to select an area you want to enlarge. Crisp images and perfect for trips in the countryside.

great lens for general use but I find flare if you do not have the sun behind you so limits creative fun

The FE 55mm F1.8 ZA Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* is one of the first three lenses available for Sony's full-frame E-mount system, having been announced alongside the Alpha 7 and 7R camera bodies. It's a slightly long 'normal' prime designed for everyday...
