A superb portrait lens Advantages: Aperture, lens quality Disadvantages: None ...It is one of the Olympus pro range which means that is is weather sealed and has a focus distance scale. It's a sturdy bit of kit that gives you a reassuring feel. I wouldn't want to drop it, but it feels like it will survive. Now I'm not a big macro person, so I can only say that it seems pretty good at the macro stuff. As you'd expect, there is a long focus travel between normal shooting ranges and macro, but the AF works fine, locking on swiftly ... ...is for portraits. On 4/3 cameras this is the equivalent of a 100mm lens. Shooting wide open at f2, the quality of this lens is superlative. It's a bit of a claim, but I don't think it's bettered by any other lens. Bokeh are (is?) to die for, too. It is compact (as you would expect from an actual 50mm lens) and well balanced. All in all, excellent value for the money and a worthwhile addition to your camera bag ... londondailyphoto 18.01.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Olympus Zuiko DIGITAL ED - macro lens - 50 mm F/2.0
Affordable high quality Olympus Lens. Advantages: Great value for money. Disadvantages: None i could find. The Olympus TCON-17 Converter simply increases the focal length of your camera by a factor of 1.7, without changing the aperture. In other words, the zoom on your camera is increased by a factor of 1.7, i.e. 5x zoom without lens, 8.5x zoom with lens, (5x1.7=8.5). The lens can be used with a range of different Olympus cameras, including: C-740 Ultra Zoom, C-750 Ultra Zoom, C-765 Ultra Zoom, C-770 Movie SP-500 Ultra Zoom. The lens does require an ... ...the TCON-17 lens with my Olympus SP500-UZ camera. The SP500 already has a massive 10x optical zoom, however, with the lens attached, it boosts it to 17x zoom, great for wildlife photography when its just not possible to get close enough for a decent shot. Although when working with such high zoom, small camera shake can become a problem, especially if your camera (like mine) doesn't include an image stabilizer function, some images can be blurred. ... kirkby100 16.11.2006 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Olympus TCON 17 - converter
For shooting wildlife.. Advantages: see review Disadvantages: see review ...by the specifications of the Sigma 18mm-200mm lens. Before I made my final decision I took my camera to my local cameral shop so I could actually try out the lens on my camera. Having satisfied myself that this was the right lens for me, I then shopped around for the lowest price and my local cameral shop agreed to price match! I managed to get my lens for £280. That was a year ago and prices may have come down a bit since then, it’s always worth ... ...zoom lens. The sigma lens is quite heavy to carry around, but then this is a very versatile lens allowing you to take good wide angled and zoom shots with one lens. The diameter is quite large and with so much expensive glass exposed I recommend you use a filter. I recently dropped my camera and the filter smashed. However without the filter it could have been my lens that smashed! I am really pleased with the quality of the wide angled shots this ... anwar 25.10.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Sigma zoom lens - 18 mm - 200 mm F/3.5-6.3
Ef 50 1.8 II Advantages: Cheap, great image quality, fast (aperture) Disadvantages: Bad focus motor. Noisy and slow (focus). Plastic build This lens is the first prime I ever bought. I was looking at primes because they produce better quality images and are faster than zooms, though less practical. I saw that 130$ lens (brand new!) ... I gave it a shot, saying to myself: -well I'll try this out and if I don't like primes or if this turns out to be a bad lens, i'll loose only 130$. I also believed at the time that 130$ brand new lenses cannot produce quality images. Nikon doesn't have ... ...of my favourite. It doesn't produce image as nice as my 85mm (also reviewed here on ciao), but for the price, it is unbeatable. Apart from beeing extremely fast (compared to zooms anyway), it is SHARP (well it's a prime...) and I also noticed better contrast (at least a more pleasing effect to my eye) in my image (compared to my 17-40L). You can't go wrong with this lens. Even if you have 50mm covered with one or more of your zooms, you have to buy ... bardall 12.10.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Canon EF lens - 50 mm F/1.8
Best lens I have Advantages: Perfect picture quality, fast and silent Disadvantages: Prime... Zoom and Dezoom with your feet I bought this lens to do portrait work but then I find myself using it more and more for every kind of pictures, compressed landscape, flower, nature, anything really. The quality of the pictures is just too great to miss. This lens is well balanced on a 40d (it would be on a rebel also). It doesn't feel too big or too small. You have USM focus, which means fast and silent. The size of the focus ring is good, you won't have difficulty using it in ... ...metal and it does not feel cheap at all. I've had it for 1 year and There is no dust at all in the lens. I use this on a 40d, and I usually have to back up a little to take the pictures, it is a little long. I don't mind it though, if you ever buy this lens, you won't mind either and you will work around the fact that this is not a zoom; you won't wnat to miss the quality. ... bardall 12.10.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM
