Laowa 25mm f2.8 2.5-5x Ultra Macro review

07 Jun 2021 Thomas

The Laowa 25mm f2.8 2.5-5x Ultra Macro is a very special lens: one of only a handful that can deliver up to 5x magnification without the use of bellows or extension tubes. It’s corrected for full-frame cameras, and set to 5x can capture an area of just 4.8x7.2mm. In his review Thomas finds out if it’s the best macro for…

Laowa 15mm f4.5 Zero-D Shift review

10 May 2021 Thomas

The Laowa 15mm f4.5 Zero-D Shift is the widest shift lens available for full-frame cameras. The front-end can be shifted 11mm in any direction to minimise perspective distortions when shooting architecture or interiors. Thomas tests it in his latest in-depth review!

04 May 2021 Thomas

The Laowa 100mm f2.8 2x Macro APO from Venus Optics is one of very few macro lenses which can focus from infinity to 2x magnification. Plus this full-frame lens is available in a wide variety of mounts including DSLR and mirrorless. Find out how it performs in our review!

Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG DN Art review

27 Apr 2021 Gordon Laing

The Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG DN Art is a wide angle lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras in Sony e and Leica L-mounts. Successor to Sigma’s first Art lens, the new model has high aspirations so I’ve compared it against Sony’s FE 35 1.5 GM as well as Sigma’s f1.2 and f2 models! Find out which is the best 35 for…

Sony FE 14mm f1.8 G Master review

20 Apr 2021 Gordon Laing

The Sony FE 14mm f1.8 G Master is an ultra-wide angle prime lens for the full-frame e-mount mirrorless system. It’s not only Sony’s widest prime lens to date, but one of only two 14mm lenses in existence with a bright f1.8 aperture. Find out everything you need to know in my full review!

Sigma 24mm f3.5 DG DN review

12 Apr 2021 Gordon Laing

The Sigma 24mm f3.5 DG DN is a compact prime lens designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras and, at the time of testing, available in Sony e and Leica L-mounts. In my full review I'll compare it to the Sony 24mm f2.8 G!

The Viltrox AF 85mm f1.8 II is the cheapest large aperture 85mm lens with autofocus for Sony E-mount, Nikon Z-mount and Fujifilm X-mount mirrorless cameras. Find out how it compares to rival short telephotos in Thomas's review!

Sony FE 24mm f2.8 G review

23 Mar 2021 Gordon Laing

The Sony FE 24mm f2.8 G is a compact wide-angle prime lens for the e-mount mirrorless system. 24mm is a popular focal length, striking a very usable balance between 28mm and ultra-wide models. The 24 2.8 G delivers sharp results and fast focusing from a compact weather-sealed barrel. Find out if it’s the perfect wide prime for you in my…

Sony FE 40mm f2.5 G review

23 Mar 2021 Gordon Laing

The Sony FE 40mm f2.5 G is a compact lightweight prime lens designed for full-frame e-mount mirrorless cameras. 40mm delivers slightly wider than standard coverage, striking a compelling balance between traditional 35 and 50mm lenses. In my full review find out why it could be your next standard lens!

Sony FE 50mm f2.5 G review

23 Mar 2021 Gordon Laing

The Sony FE 50mm f2.5 G is a compact standard prime lens for full-frame e-mount mirrorless cameras. Announced in March 2021 and costing $599, it delivers natural-looking standard coverage that’s ideal for general-purpose use. Long enough for simple portraits and small group shots, but short enough for some natural and urban views, and a practical option for grabbing details around…

Sony FE 50mm f1.2 GM review

16 Mar 2021 Gordon Laing

The Sony FE 50mm f1.2 G Master is a standard prime lens with a very bright aperture for full-frame e-mount mirrorless cameras. The 50mm focal length delivers natural-looking coverage, but the fast 1.2 aperture allows very shallow depth-of-field effects, while Sony’s latest G Master optics promise both high resolution and smooth rendering. Here’s my full review!

Sony FE 90mm f2.8 Macro review

01 Mar 2021 Thomas

The Sony FE 90mm f2.8 Macro G OSS is a medium telephoto for Sony's mirrorless cameras. It was Sony's first Macro corrected for full-frame bodies, upon which it'll deliver 1:1 / 1x magnification. In our full review see how it compares to the newer Sigma 105mm DG DN Macro!

Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 DG DN review

24 Feb 2021 Gordon Laing

The Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 DG DN is a general-purpose zoom for full-frame mirrorless cameras, available in Sony e or Leica L mounts. It provides a more affordable option for those who want a walkaround zoom with an f2.8 aperture but can’t stretch to pricier not to mention heavier models that zoom wider to 24mm. Check out my full review!

Sigma 65mm f2 DG DN review

16 Feb 2021 Thomas

The Sony FE 12-24mm f2.8 G Master is an ultra-wide zoom with a constant f2.8 aperture, designed for Alpha full-frame mirrorless cameras. It becomes the widest full-frame f2.8 zoom and means Sony now offers focal lengths from 12 to 200mm with a constant f2.8 aperture. Find out more in my review!

Sony FE 35mm f1.4 GM review

13 Jan 2021 Gordon Laing

The FE 35mm f1.4 G Master is a high-end wide-angle prime lens for Sony’s e-mount mirrorless system and one that’s corrected for full-frame bodies. It’s Sony’s fourth 35 in the native e-mount, but the first to join the flagship G-Master series. Find out why it’s their best 35 yet in my full review!

Sigma 35mm f2 DG DN review

01 Dec 2020 Gordon Laing

The Sigma 35mm f2 DG DN is a mild wide prime lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras and available in Sony-e and Leica L-mounts. Launched alongside a new 24 and 65mm as part of Sigma’s I series, the 35 adopts vintage styling to stand out in a crowded market. Find out how it compares in my full review!
