Leica 24/1.4 M Summilux ASPH Introduced As Part Of Special |
The Luminous Landscape
On May 22, Leica introduced one of those special finish, special edition sets they’re known to create from time to time. These, of course, are luxury items that primarily sell to collectors. This one celebrates — in their words — „100 Years of Leica Photography“. I seem to recall that this set,…
Fuji X-E2 and Minolta 50mm Macro | Calogero Randazzo
The Minolta 50mm f/3,5 Macro lens is an old standard focal length macro. On APS-C it´s a short tele about 75mm. Build quality of this lens is fine and feels good. Manual focus is easy with Fuji´s focus peaking. This macro only focuses to 1:2, so it requires extension or teleconverter to get to 1:…
Comparison: ZEISS 12mm vs Fuji 14mm vs 16-50mm on X-A1 |
Eric Tastad
How do the 3 Ultrawide lenses compare? Are the primes worth more than the zoom? My opinion is the center of all 3 lenses are about the same and good at all apertures. The Fuji and Zeiss have preferable contrast to the 16-50mm, but not by much. The corners show the strengths of the primes, and the…
A Tale of Two Tele’s – Fuji Teleconverters | Jason Pitcher
A few months back I picked up the WCL-X100 for my Fuji x100s. This is the wide angle teleconverter that takes the built in lens from 35mm to 28mm equivalent focal length. Surprisingly, the maximum aperture of f2.0 is maintained, although whether through misdirection or skullduggery on the part of…
Leica M Monochrom: User Review | Lisa Robinson
First things first; this is not a technical user review. Anyone can look up facts about the nuts and bolts of this (or any) camera, therefore I’m not going to waste time with that. I’m concerned with the user experience, which happens to be unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I’ve wanted to re…
Fujifilm X-T1 | Tim Moynihan by Wired
Most mirrorless cameras are happy being smaller, beginner-friendly, somewhat less-capable alternatives to DSLRs. But the Fujifilm X-T1 has a different goal in mind: It’s built to replace a DSLR camera entirely. Indeed, it’s hard to think of a camera that’s come closer. While there is perhaps no p…
Fujifilm X-T1 compact system camera | PCWorld
Should you buy it?Our overall experience with this camera was a positive one and we think it’s a great piece of kit. We’re happy to recommend it to anyone who favours tactile, labelled controls over screens and menu systems (though you can still use the screen and menu on this if you wish), but t…
Travelling Light | Tuan Nguyen
When the Nikon D800 was launched, I knew it would be the camera for me, I loved its resolving power and the images that it can produce even in low light. I took it every where I went, sacrificing my luggage allowance so that I could take it on flights to the continent, and I was rewarded with sup…
Dynamic Range and Latitude Are Two Different Things | Bill Wadman
I’ve been meaning to write this one for a while. In fact it’s been sitting as an empty draft for months, so it’s about time we get on with it. One of my pet peeves is people who act like they know everything when they don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. A few years ago I wrote one o…
Really Right Stuff L-Plate for XT-1 and Battery Grip | Chris Bennett
Not long ago I wrote that the Really Right Stuff (RRS) L-Plate – the BVGXT1-L – for the Fujifilm XT-1 body and the VG-XT1 Battery Grip was in stock; you can see that post here. What I didn’t know at the time (as I got no shipping email) was that my L-Plate had already shipped; it arrived on Satur…
