New Tamron 150-600mm lens already gets DxOmarked!

Share

DxOmark (Click here) posted the Tamron 150-600mm lens test. They used the C-mount version but as you know there is an A-mount version too (prerder here at BHphoto). DxO confirms that this is the best superzoom they have tested to date:

If Tamron built this lens to outperform the Sigma offering then they succeeded with full frame cameras. The gain in performance over their rival’s offering is less noticeable on the APS-C cameras. Despite that, the image quality is a slight improvement over the Sigma. Given the longer range and similar price, it’s a pretty impressive achievement. 

The Tamron even outperforms the pricier Canon lens on the full frame Canon EOS 5D Mk III though it’s less convincing when compared with the Canon EOS 7D. There’s likely too little in it to switch but for first-time buyers the new Tamron is attractive proposition.

Great lens!

Samyang will develop autofocus lenses too!

Share

Last year we reported that Samyang will make autoficus lenses for the E-mount system. Well, within the next couple fo days Samyang will officially launch the new logo you see here on top. And they will also announce the development of their first autofocus lenses! Great news for all E and A-mount camera owners because Samyang is well-known for their high optical quality and relatively low priced lenses.

P.S.: Currently Samyang sells their lenses under different brands. Don’t know if they will get rid of that confusing strategy. Here are the brands linked to ebay lens search results:

Slrgear tests the 35mm FE: “Another triumph of sharpness for Sony”.

Share

SLRgear tested the Zeiss 35mm FE lens and writes:

Optically, this lens is a stellar performer, as many Zeiss lenses are, with very sharp images on both the new full-frame cameras as well as sub-frame Sony cameras. Other factors like chromatic aberration and distortion are practically nonexistent with this lens, but there is some vignetting and a minor amount of corner softness, particularly on full-frame cameras at wider apertures — a pretty small price to pay for outstanding performance otherwise.

Horseman announces new large format accessory for the Sony A7r!

Share
[shoplink 24632 ebay][/shoplink]

DC.watch (translation here) posted that cool image of the [shoplink 24632 ebay]Horseman[/shoplink] “Axella” and “VCC PRO“. You can shoot in a real “large format” style with your Sony A7-A7r! If you shoot large format you can use this to compose your images. Pretty handy!

The “Axella” costs 600,000 Yen (around $5,900) and is fully equipped for tilting, swivel, rise/fall and swing. The “VVC PRO” can tilt only but costs much less, around 150,000 Yen (around $1,400).

P.S.: It may come to a surprise for you but I am still a large format shooter. I hope I can try this one day :)
