Lens, camera reviews, tutorials, photo-workshops
I just got Nikon D800E, with the idea to use it until (and if) Canon does not come with a proper landscape and Hi-Res studio camera. No critics to Canon here, I just needed higher resolution.For the studio work I choose Nikon 24-70 f2.8 and it should be enough for now. I might add one…
I am coming slowly to more expensive lenses. Being rather busy at the moment, I will make following few posts as a rolling reviews, till I don't find time to make formal tests as in a previous posts.Today I made few shots from the local pub with Nikon Nikkor 50 f1.2, one of those lenses…
This post is about my experience with the NEX system as the alternative to DSLR for the landscape photography. Sony NEX 5n + Carl Zeiss Tevidon 35 f1.9at f8 Last weekend I packed Sony NEX 5n and 7 for the 3 days photo trip to Ceske Svycarsko, area known by sandstone rocks and green hills.…
Review is in progress, but so far, I can post only few comparisons done against kit lens and Canon FD 35 f2 S.S.C.I will have to take more serious look at Sigma, as it is supposed to be great lens, but from those comparisons it comes short to Canon. It is different FL of course,…
Pentax SMC M 50mm f1.4 is one of the lenses that I was really interested in. It is supposed to have the same optical formula as a more expensive A-50 F1.4, with some differences in the coating. Lens has 7 elements in 6 groups all multi-coated and what is intriguing it has 8 aperture blades…
This lens got some very good reviews from the users that I could found on web. However in my hands it was rather disappointing. Lens has 7 elements in 6 groups and despite its small size 38cm deep it is rather heavy at 245gr. Build quality is very good, with rubberized focus ring that takes…
In 1973, Konica released Hexanon AR 50 f1.7 as a standard kit lens to their new Autoreflex T3 camera. Later on, the lens becomes praised to be one of the sharpest lenses ever built. I am not sure if that is valid any more, but it is certainly sharp lens as you would be able…
Both Konica Lenses were pleasant surprise for me. Maybe because before testing, I didn't know nothing about them. After I examined results, I spent some time looking for more information. Here is faster, a bit older and more expensive f1.4 version.Lens is Double-Gauss design, same as i.e. Yashinon DX 50 f1.7 or Asahi Super Takumar…
This lens was introduced in 1979 and was in production till 1981, when Minolta updated it to its last version with orange lettering instead of green and aperture lock. Optical formula stays the same.Lens is small and light with good build quality (much better than any new kit lens anyway), 220g, with a filter size…
