The latest high-end lenses brag about uniform sharpness across every pixel of the photograph. But, for those who find uniformity boring, there’s the Leica 21mm f1. 4 Summilux ASPH. The ultra-wide, ultra-bright M-mount lens delivers more character than technical perfection.
But, more than that, the lens delivers a variety of character, from the varying shapes of the bokeh to several different types of flare. . thephoblographer.com
Some photographers like 50mm lenses. Others, like me, are bigger fans of the 35mm field of view. And now, we've got the new Nikon 50mm f1. 4 Z. This is an entry into the character lens lineup that the company offers.
The Nikon Z 135mm f1. 8 Plena is a lens that photographers have been going crazy for. Specifically, if you're a Nikon shooter, then you should be drooling over it. It can deliver beautiful image quality for sure and focuses very quick with the Nikon Z9 especially.
Fujifilm users know the secret is with the film simulations. At least with the Fujifilm X series, there's no denying the beautiful look that you can get from their cameras. But what's the best Fuji lens for portraits? Well, we've tested them all; and we've got a pretty great idea.
Yes! A true Nikon pancake lens is finally here. The Nikon Z 26mm f2. 8 is, perhaps to some, an odd focal length. But that's part of the charm. It's not a 28mm lens or a 24mm lens. But it's right in between.
I snuck away with Nikon for a few hours to play with a pre-production model of their new Nikon Z 85mm f1. 2 S lens. It's a lens previously announced in development and we hoped would have character.
Lots of photographers will only ever buy constant aperture zoom lenses. And if you're curious why, it's often because it makes their job so much easier. Why zoom in and out while having to change your settings? The problem is though that constant aperture zoom lenses tend to get very big.
What's the secret behind the Leica look? Well, besides their incredible lenses, it has to do with the way that photographers use their cameras. Admit it, sometimes you just end up browsing Reddit or Instagram to find photos shot on a Leica that you absolutely fall head over heels for.
