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…
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…
I am proud to welcome Sara, beautiful professional model in the Verybiglobo family. Sara should help us to make our field lens and camera tests more exciting but also more controlled. Sara wasn't cheap, it cost me most of my savings and I made a rookie mistake by ordering outfits that are too small :-(…
This is first partner review with the http://jantichyphotography.com. The original review can be found here - http://jantichyphotography.com/pages/prvni-dojmy-sony-fe-85mm-f18/ but it is in the Czech language, so I tried to translate it in English. Jan Tichy is respected Czech Photographer and big fan of Sony E mount cameras. He is also legacy lens freak and one of…
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.…
It's been over 4 months since Samyang introduced their first AF lenses, both made for Sony E mount cameras - Samyang AF 14/2.8 FE and Samyang AF 50/1.4 FE. Having no contacts to Samyang local representatives, I didn't plan to review any of those lenses, but in fact I am quite a fan of them,…
Introduction Meyer-Optik-Görlitz is an old German company founded in 1896 by famous optician Hugo Meyer and businessman Heinrich Schätze in Görlitz, Saxony. Company passed through turbulent periods in its history, almost disappearing as a brand during cold war (when it was absorbed by VEB Pentacon and VEB Carl Zeiss group). There were some attempts to revive lens…
I already published Loxia 85/2.4 hands-on in the Photokina coverage article, but it deserves its dedicated space, so here it is, slightly reorganized and with some new content. I had a short interview with Mr. Cristophe Casenave, senior product manager in Zeiss and expert on weather sealing. VBL:Aren't you afraid that Batis and Loxia are…
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…
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…
