Canon's 28-105 lens is nice. It borders on great, but doesn't quite make it. First, the good stuff. Optically, the lens performs well. It is sharp, and maintains contrast well, particularly when used with a hood. The full-time-manual USM focusing...

Although Tamron makes some exceptional professional lenses, one of its moderately priced products--various models of the 28-200mm zoom--has amassed sales of over one million lenses and won "Best Buy" awards worldwide.

Hoya, the biggest name in optical filters, have just introduced a thinner version of their circular polariser, so we got one in to test. The new filter has a slimmer mount making it really light and compact.

Overall, this is a nice lens that feels solid and inspires confidence. Its price may be only slightly less than that of some other lenses that include image-stabilisation technology, but it is still a sound investment.

Good for the price and lightwieght. Have been unable to get a really sharp image but have only tried it hand held so far.

When, at the end of the previous year, Sigma announced the launch of two new „fisheye” type lenses, designed for use with small APS-C/DX sensors, I was pleased on the one hand and a bit apprehensive on the other.

Overalll, this lens has now proved itself to be a worthy contender for ultra-wideangle shooting use and a deserved winner of our Recommended award.

This lens actually comes out at an unexceptional 76%, but we’re going to add a little extra for the excellent VR system, which genuinely does extend the range of shot conditions

The Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens combines a very useful zoom range with image stabilization in a light and well-performing package . Bringing you this site is my full-time job (typically 60-80 hours per week). Thus, I depend solely on the...

The Sony 30mm f/2.8 DT macro ( SAL-30F28 ) shines in many aspects. Like most dedicated macro lenses it is extremely sharp straight from f/2.8 till about f/11 and even f/16 can be considered as a mainstream setting. Lateral CAs are absolutely negligible...

The Sony E PZ 18-105mm F4 G OSS lens has a long zoom range and a power zoom design that's great for video, but it makes some optical compromises.

I haven't had a chance to use these yet, but they fit well and snugly, and electronic info is transmitted through any combination of the tubes.

Does it's work like it should; mount and adapt. Good value for your money. Now I can use my old Olympus lenses again.

Cute idea but didn't read the fine print to realize these weren't framed. At the price I think they are an absolute rip-off considering it is just 6 pieces of cardboard squares with pictures on them.

As at least one other reviewer has written the surface coating scratches easily. I take this hiking and backpacking, and I am VERY cautious with my equipment, but stuff happens. Scratching the filter is my fault but the thing is $82, I'd expect more...

I went through many lenses for the VIXIA HF S21, including those recommended by Canon (the WD-H58 for example). This is a great choice if you don't want the heavy WD-H58 but still want 0.7x demagnification. Fits on the camera perfectly, and the full...

Works fine, but should do as it is a simple construction.

I have used this teleconverter with my Nikon D3200 and a Sigma 70-300mm Lens (Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG Macro For Nikon Digital & Film Cameras), the converter worked superbly, whilst there was a little loss in quality it was hardly noticeable. The one...
