Laowa 65mm F2.8 Ultra 2x Macro Review
Last year I reviewed the rather superb Laowa 100mm F2.8 2x Macro lens for full frame cameras. That lens featured a rare (at that price point) APO (Apochromatic) optical design that delivered incredible sharpness and extremely low chromatic aberrations. And…

Fujinon XF 16-80mm F4 OIS Review
Fuji shooters have had a binary choice between two standard zooms – the XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 OIS (my review here) and the XF 16-55mm F2.8 (my review here). One offered image stabilization, the other offered a weather-sealed build and larger…

Tamron 20mm F2.8 OSD M1:2 (F050) Review
A couple of months ago I had a look at the Tamron 24mm F2.8 OSD M1:2 along with the 35mm F2.8 OSD M1:2 lenses. These lenses were part of a trio of highly similar prime lenses from Tamron designed specifically…
Canon RF 85mm F1.2L Review
Nearly 5 years ago Canon released its first prime lens to include a new technology called Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics. When I reviewed that lens – the Canon EF 35mm F1.4L II – I concluded that it was the best…

Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DN ART Review
There are few lenses more important to photography than the 24-70mm F2.8 standard zoom, which covers everything from landscape focal lengths to one of the favored focal lengths for portrait photography. Most photographers could do at least 80% of their…

Sony FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS Review
I personally welcomed the announcement of the Sony FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS lens for the simple reason that it created a way to get extended reach for Sony shooters without breaking the bank. Tamron helped create a huge market…

Sony FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3G OSS Image Gallery
I personally welcomed the announcement of the Sony FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS lens. Tamron helped create a huge market for the “affordable super-telephoto” class of lenses when it released the 150-600mm F5-6.3 VC USD back at the beginning of…
