Lens Reviews
Yesterday I talked about your lens and gave a brief overview of what it is made of and how it works. Today I will give you a review of the best lens manufactures out there. As I said before I think that the lens is probably the most important park of the camera, It lets the light in to the sensors. Without a good clean lens your photos can come out blurry, have artifacts, or be grainy. So what is new on the market today in interchangeable lens?
According to popphoto.com got the reviews from Popular Photography and Imaging. I am only listing the first 5 they have listed on their site.
• Leica Tri-Elmar-M 16-18-21mm f/4 ASPH – this give the user 3 different focal lengths There is excellent contrast and sharpness between the different focal lengths.
• Nikon 135mm f/2D AF DC-Nikkor – These are 2 different lens in this group both geared toward the portrait side of photography. Appears to have excellent softness in out of focus areas, this will help keep your touch ups to the minimum. Has a lockable front barrel DC aperture ring.
• Olympus Zuiko Digital 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 ED AF – This is a wide angle lens. The Zukio lens are interchange able between the different types of Olympus cameras that use the Zukio lens. This new lens is lighter than previous versions. Excellent range and focus.
• Panasonic Leica D Vario-Elmar 14-150mm f/3.5-4.5 ASPH – This particular one being the lens of the year, (read the review) This one is soon to be released and is a new line up in almost a year for Panasonic.
• Canon 50mm f/1.2L USM AF – Is considered the fastest, a replacement of the Canon’s 50mm f/1.0L that was removed almost four years ago.
