Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 DG DN OS Sports Review:

A 70-200mm f2.8 is one of the most important lenses out there because the focal length range, and constant aperture make it extremely versatile: it can be used for weddings, portraits, sports to wildlife, and even cityscape. To say it’s crucial to many photographers’ kits might even be an understatement.  It makes sense for lens manufacturers to invest the proper time in designing a decent lens in this range, and with that said, Sigma has recently announced the 70-200mm f2.8 DG DN OS Sports.  Thanks to them, I was able to get a pre-launch sample in L mount to test.  Here are my thoughts.

Leica M11-P & Summicron-M 28mm f2 ASPH Release:

For those interested, the new Leica M11-P and Summicron-M 28mm f2 ASPH are released.  I still need to finish my long term review of the M11 lol.  You can find them in the links below:

The M11-P has a few new features one being the first camera to integrate content authentication according to the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) and the C2PA standard.  As for the new lens, I am not a huge fan of the 28mm focal length but with that said, the new Summicron-M 28mm ASPH looks really nice.  I love the size, and the built-in retractable lens hood.  Anyway, some specs for both the M11-P and the Summicron-M 28mm ASPH are below: [continue reading…]

Leica SL 14-24mm f2.8 & Summicron-21mm f2 Pre-Order:

Good news for photographers using the SL system or any L mount camera for that matter :).  Leica has just announced the Summicron-SL 21mm f2 ASPH, and the Super-Vario-Elmarit-SL 14-24mm f2.8 ASPH for the SL system.  They are both available for pre-order as of now.  The link is below:

I’m a prime kind of guy, so that 21mm is looking quite good to me right now :).  However, that zoom would definitely come in handy, especially with its widest focal length being 14mm.  Let me know what you think.  Check out below, if you want some more info on the two new lenses: [continue reading…]

Sigma 10-18mm f2.8 DC DN Contemporary Review:

If you’re an L mount user, and you’re looking for an ultra wide angle zoom, the Sigma 10-18mm f2.8 DC DN Contemporary lens has just been announced today.  It’s ultra compact, and on paper, it looks to be feature packed.  Since it is an APS-C lens, it equates to a 15-27mm equivalent, which is also a really nice focal length range.  Thanks to Sigma, I was able to get a pre-launch example to test.  Here’s my full review of it.
