Kodak-Anastigmat Ektar 5cm f/3.5 – Retina Lens Mini Review

0
0

The proliferation of mirrorless cameras paved the way for a rapid increase in vintage lens usage on digital. An average camera nowadays can, without much hassle, support practically any common lens mount of yore, and many of the uncommon ones too. Back in the DSLR days that choice was pretty much limited to SLR lenses...

Fast 50mm lenses offering for Leica M mount has flourished these recent years with the appearing of Chinese lens manufacturers. A lot of them have proven to be very nicely made and pretty consistent optically, but all of them seem to come with thier own set of drawbacks too. Often, the size and weight being...

PAM Britar 105mm f/4.5 – An American Triplet Review

0

Despite being very fond of my Leitz lenses, there’s always something exciting about picking up a lesser-known third-party lens. With little to no information available online it’s always a risk, but if the price is right it’s often worth it. The great thing about longer lenses, especially those slower ones, is they don’t need a...

Thypoch Simera 35mm ASPH review

People who know me well, as a photographer, know that I love fast 35mm lenses, especially when they remain relatively compact. My two grails have remained unchanged for some time now: the Nokton classic for its unique signature, dual-personality, and very compact size. And the Summilux ASPH pre-FLE, for its sharp, yet subtle rendition wide...

Soligor 35mm f/3.5 – A Cheap and Cheerful Softie

0
0

I bought this from Real Camera because I wanted a wider-than-50mm lens for my Praktica SLR, not having any idea who Soligor are/were (and still not much the wiser). It was cheap at £27 so I didn’t expect much. The camera was also cheap-as-chips so it’s a good match. The idea of a 35mm lens...

7Artisans 9mm f/5.6 Review

I have here the widest lens I have ever used. Possibly the widest lens I have ever seen in the flesh. Certainly the widest rectilinear lens. The lens I am talking about is the 7Artisans 9mm f/5.6 manual focus lens. If my memory serves, the widest lens I have previously used was the 12mm Voigtlander...

Hamish asked me recently to write an article about my findings on the Carl Zeiss 38mm f/2.8 Sonnar (/Omnar CX38-28) when mounted on Hasselblad XCD and Fuji GFX cameras. Wait… 38mm Sonnar on medium format digital?! Well yes! This is something we found out last year while developing the CX38-28 Omnar lens mechanics, which rehouse...
