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…]

Sigma 24mm f3.5 DG DN Contemporary Lens Review:
With the new I Series, Sigma is aiming at photographers who want full frame but don’t necessarily need or want to carry some of the larger lenses associated with it. This series is aimed at the individual who doesn’t necessarily need a large maximum aperture, and instead, will be willing to trade that for something that is not only still optically sound but also compact and light. Take for instance, the new Sigma 24mm f3.5 DG DN Contemporary lens. This may have a modest maximum aperture but it is a very compact wide angle prime that also happens to be currently the smallest lens in the I Series. Here’s what I think of it. [continue reading…]
