Lenses

Photography lens reviews – In this section of the website, you will find reviews of lenses for all sorts of different mounts. It is often the case that lenses can only easily be used on the cameras they were designed for, so whilst reading through the reviews here, it is worth making sure any lens you might like the look of is compatible with your camera.

That being said, this is not always the case, and in sometimes lenses can be adapted or even hacked to fit on different cameras. This has become increasingly popular in recent years with some digital cameras offering a great platform for adapting some of the lenses listed below.

You can read more about lens adapting and modifications here

As with all the content on this website, if you find something of interest, you can find more similar products by clicking on the tags you will find at the bottom of the reviews.

Pentax MZ-S and 31mm, 43mm, 77mm Limited lens trio review – By Aivaras

By Aivaras

Canon 50mm f/2.2 Leica thread mount lens review

By Hamish Gill

I’ve had this little Canon 50mm f/2.2 for a while now - I bought it attached to a Canon P. Both camera and lens were items I’d eyed up on eBay a few times, so when I saw the com...

Zeiss 50mm f/2 Planar vs Jupiter-8 50mm f/2 – by Simon King

By Simon King

For my approach to photography I find that 50mm makes sense for a lens with the greatest capacity for intimacy in an image. 90mm is my go-to for street composition involving lar...

Canon 50mm f/1.4 ltm lens Review – An impressive classic gem

By Hamish Gill

The Canon 50mm f/1.4 ltm is a lens that doesn’t seem to quite have the following it deserves - or at least that’s what you’d guess by looking at their used value. I think in rea...
