Similar to the Tokina variant the Pentax SMC DA 12-24mm f/4 AL ED [IF] is greatultra-wide zoom lens although it isn't free of flaws. The sweet spot of the lens is at thewide end of the zoom range where the center quality is outstanding and the borders...

For an inexpensive step up in both versatility and quality over your kit lens, the Sigma DC 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 is worth a look. The image quality isn’t top of the class, but for the money it’s quite acceptable and there are a couple of useful features,...

A super wide-angle zoom aimed primarily at landscape and architecture photographers with a more affordable price and a slightly wider range than the camera makers' own models...is there a catch? We aim to find out.

This is OK for the money. I haven't tried the TP lense yet--because I bought this for the WA lense and haven't tried the TP yet. There seems to be a little bit of blur towards the edges. It's not a mjor problem for what I need, but it's probably not...

I have the Nikon version of this lens. Everything about it is odd - but I like it. The lens mounts sideways on my Nikon cameras. As a result, I have to hold the camera by its MB-D## grip to look down and read the scales. It is heavy, and solid, and the...

Very cheep wide angle converter which is compatible from 27 to 37 mm camera filter lens. Very good to films skateboarding and snowboardings films. Wide angle effects adds speed and make your tricks looks bigger.

The Olympus ED 18-180mm f/3.5-6.3 is less wide than some others in its range, with a 36mm film equivalent at the short end, but it has a greater reach at the long end.

I'm a simi-pro videographer with high standards. Overall, I'm disappointed with the Raynox. The sample I received is adequate for some non-critical work, but isn't good enough to be considered "high-definition" by anyone's standards. The center 1/3...

Combined with Nodal Ninja rotating tripod heads, I'm using this lens to produce equirectangular 360deg x 180deg panoramas. Six shots in 60deg increments work perfectly when stitched with Hugin or AutoPano. Limited depth of field is a problem --- I find...

To start, it is an inexpensive lens that I use to create a wide angle view using my camcorder....It uses threat adapters to fit my JVC camera, which I am not too crazy about, but it works and it was cheap to buy. Of course, you can spend a lot of...

Doubles Focus as stated, shots of soft. Slow in AF. Gets the job done, but don't expect sharp photos.

This average quality gaff tape, nothing really to comment on here just high quality tape. My only peeves are that it doesn't seem to be as flexible as higher quality tapes and the cardboard core is much smaller than is standard, although that may be a...

Leica is renowned for the high quality of its optical products and we can confidently say that the Vario-Elmarit 14-50 mm f/2.8-3.5 Asph Mega O.I.S. doesn’t disgrace its producer. Quite the opposite in fact – for a zoom lens with a 3.6x multiplier it...

I have used a Promaster lens for 4 years, and it has never let me down. For the price and versatility the lens is exceptionally sharp. It has a great macro and is a light weight lens. The lens has aspherical glass to prevent image distortion and...

Speed. The AF drive for Sigma SA, Canon and Nikon S.L.R. cameras features the ultra-quiet Hyper Sonic Motor (H.S.M.). This new lens also incorporates a rotary filter holder in the rear part of the lens barrel, which enables the use of a polarizing...

Pros: Light wieght nice swivel foot. cons: The leg locks don't hold. The hand strap is cheap. I will have to buy a separate head if I keep using it. I like how light this mono pod is, but I have had trouble with the legs staying locked. The twist lock...

While this digitally optimized (DG), full-frame 70mm f/2.8 lens ($430, street) can be mounted on film or digital SLRs, it will probably find its widest application on DSLRs that have APS-sized sensors, where it converts out to (about) a 105mm. On such...

I decided to upgrade my kit lens 18-55 non IS to IS version, and it's cost about 50US$. (Buy IS version 100US$ and sold the non IS 50US$). The difference between IS and Non IS(NIS) is 1. Offcourse Image Stabilizer that can hold 4 stop down 2. Glass...

I bought these filters for use with my Canon Vixia HF100 camcorder. They are of good quality, and come with a good (albeit linty) case. My only complaint is the lens cap is a little on the cheap side. Good overall pack, and can't beat the price.

I bought this as a more portable alternative to the Davis Sanford Fm18 (which is one of the best tripods I have ever owned). The 2800 is very sturdy, pans and tilts smoothly, overall it is a great portable tripod. I use it with a canon 7d with battery...

I bought this to use with my HD-SR12 camcorder. It works great but when you zoom back, it shows/blackens the edges of the video. I just have to remember to not zoom back fully.
