Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Every year at CES I am overwhelmed with the sheer volume of mobile accessories. I am still completely amazed that so many iPhone case manufacturers can be in business at one time. It’s nuts!
As a result, I generally shy away from run-of-the-mill phone and tablet accessories. I just don’t care. But this is another story. [Read more…]
B&H has the new Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM lens back in stock for Canon mount. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
Note that the Nikon version of this lens is still listed as back-ordered.
B&H has the new Panasonic Leica DG Nocticron 42.5mm f/1.2 ASPH Power OIS lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras in stock now. That’s an 85mm equivalent on a full frame camera. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
B&H has the new Sony Vario-Tessar T* FE 24-70mm f/4 ZA OSS lens for Sony E-mount cameras in stock now with free shipping. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
DxO Labs has run the new Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD lens through its DxO Mark tests and indicates that it beats out other “budget” super-telephoto lenses, including Canon’s classic (and more expensive) 100-400mm L lens. Of course, it offers an additional 200mm on the telephoto end over the Canon lens as well.
The Tamron lens was also pitted head-to-head against the Sigma 150-500mm and edged it out as well. Check out the entire comparison and test results over at DxO Mark.
The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM lens is built for APS-C format cameras, providing a 27-52.5mm equivalent full frame field of view. At 1.78 lbs, the lens is not quite a bear; however, you’ll definitely notice an increase and size and weight from other variable aperture zoom lenses built for APS-C cameras (e.g., Canon’s EF-S 18-135mm IS STM and Nikon’s 18-105mm VR). I equate the feel close to the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS lens. [Read more…]
