Voigtlander APO-LANTHAR 35mm f2 ASPH Review:
If you’re in the market for an M mount 35mm lens, there are ton of choices. There are large maximum aperture lenses for people who need the extra light gathering capabilities to ultra compact options for photographers who may want something discreet and easy to carry around. There are also lenses where the main focus is to get the best image quality possible like the new Voigtlander APO-LANTHAR 35mm f2 ASPH. In fact, according to Voigtlander, the 35 APO not only offers the highest resolution, and best color correction out of their 35mm lenses but they also call it their most powerful 35mm lens of all time. That’s a pretty bold statement, and one that made me very eager to test the 35mm APO. Here’s what I think of it. [continue reading…]
Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 DG DN Contemporary First Look:
One popular zoom focal length is a 28-70mm, and it makes sense, since the coverage makes a lens like this extremely versatile. One could potentially carry just this one lens during a photographic outing, and be completely content. So, it makes sense for manufacturers to spend the time researching, and developing lenses around this focal length range, and one that I have for you today is the Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 DG DN Contemporary lens. It’s a lens that I’ve been looking forward to reviewing, and here are my first impressions of it [continue reading…]
Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 Camera Review:
If you’re looking to get into L mount, and you’re looking at Panasonic, I’m sure a lot of you know that there’s the S1 and S1R bodies. Both of those bodies are aimed at the higher end of the market, and with that comes higher price tags. If you’re not looking to spend that kind of money and at the same time, you want something more compact than those two options, the Panasonic Lumix DC-S5 might just be the camera that will fit your needs. I spent some time with it, and here’s what I think of it. [continue reading…]
Voigtlander APO-LANTHAR 35mm f2 ASPH First Look:
The 35mm is one of the most popular focal lengths with good reason. The lens is usually pretty compact, and easy to use. The focal length is also versatile because it’s great for a variety of subjects from environmental portraiture to street photography. If you’re a Leica M user or you use the M mount on your camera, there are plenty of great 35mm lenses out, and recently, there has been another added to the list: the Voigtlander APO-LANTHAR 35mm f2 Aspherical. I’ve received one to review, and while I’m not a 35mm kind of guy, I have to admit, I’ve been pretty excited to get my hands on this one, and see how this lens shoots. Here’s my first impressions of it. [continue reading…]
Sigma 35mm f2 DG DN Contemporary Lens Review:
The Sigma I Series is still relatively new but with the focal lengths that are out so far, they cover a decent amount of ground. These are also compact lenses for photographers who just don’t need those large maximum apertures, and instead, just want something that’s more compact, and still optically excellent, fast, and easy to operate. The focal lengths in this series so far are a 24mm, a 45mm, and a 65mm. I’ve reviewed all of those, which you can find here. Another lens in this series is the Sigma 35mm f2 DG DN Contemporary lens, which is what I’m reviewing here. [continue reading…]
