Lens, camera reviews, tutorials, photo-workshops
I should tell you first - why I decided to make this post. One month ago, we were eagerly waiting for promised Zeiss Batis lenses, here in verybiglobo.com and we were also trying to find any source to get the new Sony A7R MII body as well as few few other novelties. Unfortunately, Batis didn't…
We are proud to welcome on verybiglobo.com our dear friend, great photographer and very skilled DIY equipment inventor - Petr Machan - http://machan.tumblr.com/ Within our tradition, Petr will get very special title - Verybigmachan, which can be interpreted like - very big mac, very big macho or very big Genghis Khan. We hope to see…
Introduction: We were among first reviewers to post full res samples from Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 ZA OSS Vario-Tessar T* lens announced just before Photokina 2014. Unfortunately we weren't able to get testing sample of the lens soon enough after release and thus we lost interest to make a full review, but since we finally…
Sony released today information about new flagship full frame mirrorless camera A7R II, with whooping 42.4 Megapixels, IBIS (in body image stabilization), recently largest back illuminated (BSI) image sensor and EFC (electronic first curtain) in order to reduce possible shutter shock. From the specification, new camera looks fantastic and we are looking forward to get…
I had opportunity to briefly play with new full frame lenses for Sony E mount cameras - Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 and Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8. On a local Zeiss promotion here in Prague, both lenses were available for photographers and journalists, but we were informed that they are still prototypes, not final production versions,…
Introduction: On October 16, 2013, Sony made a small revolution in photographic community by announcing their A7 (ILCE-7) and A7r (ILCE-7r) cameras. While not being first to introduce full frame sensor in small, compact mirror-less body (this primacy belongs to Leica), Sony A7 was clearly smallest and most importantly affordable FF camera, while Sony A7r…
Introduction: One of the lenses that I always wanted to test, partially because of its great reputation and partially because it represents my favorite focal length for people shots, finally found its way to Verybiglobo.com Zeiss APO Sonnar 135mm f/2 in Nikon ZF.2 mount APO in the name means, that lens is Apochromatically corrected, or…
Getting mirror back to my mirrorless camera... I got lucky to find one of the rare and quite sought after lenses - super telephoto catadioptric mirror lens - Minolta RF Rokkor-X 250mm f/5.6. Introduced in 1979, this lens wasn't produced in large numbers and thus its prices on eBay can reach levels above 1000 USD.…
Getting back to roots. It is kind of calm time here in Prague and while we are waiting for few new items to come, I thought that it might be interesting to take a look at some less mainstream lenses. One of those rare finds is Angenieux 50mm f/1.8 Type S1 in original Leica LTM…
Introduction: In the last few years I tried or tested over 500 lenses. Only in few occasions though, I experienced instant excitement after seeing first results. I vaguely remember that feeling from my teen ages, when the girl who I was trying to bewitch from a safe distance, finally looked at me back. While subject…
