Today I visited a local photo exhibition and used the occasion to try the Sony super telephoto lens - FE 400mm f/2.8 GM. There are already many reviews around, so I will focus on my initial impressions. As a reference, I owned a Canon comparable - EF 400mm f/2.8 II L IS USM, and I…
Sony today announced an impressive addition to their full-frame mirrorless camera line-up, the α7R III (model ILCE-7RM3) "Thanks to an evolutionary leap in image processing power and efficiency, the new α7R III combines a high-resolution 42.4 MPi back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor with impressive shooting speeds at up to 10 fpsii with full AF/AE…
I was lucky to get the new Zeiss Milvus 25/1.4 for a few hours to try on my Sony A7 MII camera. Using Novoflex adapter, I made a few shots in the field. For the in-depth review, this lens should be tested on the native mount camera (Canon or Nikon), but this short experience helped…
The original review can be found here – Sony A9 first impression but it is in the Czech language, so I tried to translate it in English. Jan Tichy is respected Czech photographer and a big fan of the Sony E mount cameras. He is also a legacy lens freak and one of my good…
Few months ago, we reviewed very interesting Laowa 12/2.8 lens with Zero distortion , lens produced by Venus Optics. Venus Optics are now announcing the Laowa 7.5mm f/2 MFT, the World’s Widest f/2 Lens for Micro Four Thirds Camera Featuring a 110° Angle of View, Ultra-fast f/2 aperture, 46mm filter thread & less than 200g…
Introduction We were lucky to get Batis 135/2.8 for testing, prior to its official release. This comes at the cost however, since we had lens for less than 5 days, and we usually need three weeks for the full comparative review. Batis 135/2.8 is one of the most anticipated lenses in the first half of…

Introduction I got a chance to compare few 85mm lenses on my Sony A7II and A7r cameras. This comparative review took much more time to complete than I expected and meanwhile another two interesting rivals hit the market - new Sigma 85/1.4 Art and Sony FE 85/1.8. While Sigma is rather DSLR designed lens, Sony…
Laowa 12/2.8 Zero-D is one of the most anticipated lenses in my book, since it covers ultra wide angle yet without optical distortion (ZERO-D). Few months ago, I was able to briefly try it on Photokina 2016 and I made a short "hands on" review - http://www.verybiglobo.com/laowa-12mm-f2-8-and-laowa-15mm-f2-2-uwa-lenses-from-venus-optics-with-close-to-zero-distortion/, where you can find specification and sample shots.…
ZY Optics announces a compact & budget Macro lens with High Magnification Ratio. Zhongyi Mitakon 20mm f/2.0 4.5x With the magnification of 4.5x this is quite unique lens. I can remember only of old Olympus OM Zuiko Auto Macro 20/2 and 20/3.5 with similar capabilities. Both were bellows lenses though. Here is the official press…
