Lens, camera reviews, tutorials, photo-workshops
Today Zeiss officially announced new lens for its Loxia line, made exclusively for Sony E mount (for now). New lens occupies traditional portrait focal length and we hope to get hands on it at upcoming Photokina. While this is certainly interesting proposition, I have to admit that it makes me feel very old and confused.…
During our reviews of Zeiss Loxia 21/2.8 and Zeiss Batis 18/2.8, we mentioned several times also Batis 25/2. It was about the time, to give it its own review space and to take a deeper look on its performance. Let’s start with Technical specification (all data belongs to Zeiss a.g. - original link: http://www.zeiss.com/camera-lenses/en_de/camera_lenses/batis/batis225.html) Technical…
In between all those lens and camera testing, I thought it might be a good idea, to write a little about interesting shooting experience. To start, here is a little story of the most curious wedding that I ever attended. Few days ago I got info from my friend and great street photographer - Petr,…
I just wanted to share with you, the story of one image, that could have been lost forever, if shot on film or some other digital cameras such as my (otherwise lovely and trusty) Canon EOS 5D Mark II. By exposure latitude, I mean the amount of over or underexposure, that after correction still can…
To make a complex review as we like to do here, we need to have lens for at least 3 weeks, ideally for much longer. When the new gear comes however, producers can't give as testing samples for so long, thus we can either lower the quality of our tests or wait until it become…
Good news for video makers who love Zeiss lenses. Zeiss is introducing set of gear focus rings for Otus, Milvus and Loxia lenses. On top of that Otus and Loxia lenses can be purchased as a set in a top notch carrying case that will protect them on location. Here is related announcement with the…
Third to the Batis party, ultra wide-angle from Zeiss, made exclusively for Sony E mount - Zeiss Batis 18/2.8 is coming soon! (May 2016 in the stores) Unlike it's SLR predecessor - Distagon 18/3.5 (later Milvus 18/3.5) new Batis is 1/2 stop faster and Zeiss declare excellent sharpness across the frame. The new ZEISS Batis…
During testing of three Zeiss 85mm lenses - http://www.verybiglobo.com/zeiss-milvus-851-4-vs-zeiss-otus-851-4-vs-zeiss-planar-851-4-comparative-lens-review-2/2/ we spent some time with their 50(55)mm versions too. Large portion of our findings from already mentioned - 85mm review, can be simply copy pasted here, with exception of Milvus 55/1.4 bokeh, which does show some onion ring effect, because it have aspherical element in its…
Zeiss Loxia 21/2.8 just started to reach its customers. While there is lot of complains about delivery shortage, I was happy to grab one of those beauties soon enough to be motivated to write a post about it. In my previous Loxia 21/2.8 announcement article - Zeiss Loxia 21mm f/2.8, another good reason to go…
We finally made it! It took us over 2 months to complete and organize all images for this comparative review. I would like to thanks following people for their unselfish help and support in making it possible: Ales Mejdrech - Carl Zeiss s r.o. - camera lens marketing and sales manager for the Czech Republic.…
