Great lens although a little on the heavy side.

Review of the Viltrox AF 135mm f/1.8 LAB FE - an ultra-fast medium tele lens for Sony E mount cameras, and Viltrox first "LAB" lens for professional use.

Nice.

The MTFs of the 16-55mm II don't really indicate a hell of an optical improvement, though.

Take a Front-Row Seat Birds soaring through the sky, athletes in fierce competition, planes flying high, animals in their natural habitat – making brilliant images of distant details is one of photography’s greatest challenges. But with a focal length equivalent to 762mm in the 35mm format, FUJI...

Our review of the Viltrox AF 28mm f/4.5 VCM

Whenever a new pancake lens arrives in the lab, I’m getting pretty excited. Sure, their on-paper specs are never impressive – especially in terms of speed – but they are cute or, in other words, darn compact and super-lightweight and thus easy to carry around. So when Viltrox asked me whether ...

Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Email Reddit WhatsApp Copy Link Review by Klaus Schroiff, published August 2024 Introduction The Canon RF 35mm f/1.4 L VCM fills another gap in its R-mount lens lineup.  Obviously, this is a moderately wide, ultra-fast prime lens targeting their professiona...

Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Email Reddit WhatsApp Copy Link Introduction The Thypoch Simera 35mm f/1.4 Z is the 2nd lens provided by Thypoch for review.

Our review of the Thypoch Simera 28mm f/1.4 (in Z-mount):

However, there are a few exceptions to this. Meet Thypoch – a manufacturer that most of you probably haven’t heard...

Our review of the Canon RF 10-20mm f/4 L IS STM

Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Email Introduction Lately, the manufacturers have started to leave the beaten path and pushed lenses with rather extreme specs in the ultra-wide segment. 14-XXmm or 16-XXmm zoom lenses have been “mainstream” for quite some time. A few 12-xx zoom lenses e...

The Viltrox AF 40mm f/2.5 Z clearly falls into the latter category, with a retail price of just $150 USD—a price region that has been all but abandoned by th...

Our review of the Sigma 17mm f/4 DG DN Contemporary | Series 1 (E-mount)

Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Email Some may not understand it, but from a personal perspective, yours truly has long waited for a “premium” super-ultra-wide prime lens, and it doesn’t need to be fast as long as it’s compact. So now, we (or maybe just I?) have a new contender for...

Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Email Introduction It is always exciting to review lenses with exotic specs, but the truth is that much of the real-world action in shops is about items with a more sane price tag.
