While this kit should be smoother to use, it does strike me that the laowa is as heavy as my 2 person tent 🙂 and I might switch to the 24 gm (was extremely impressed with that lens) for Astro, lighter and best of both worlds, manual focus and auto.

With 1000EUR worth of lenses (disregarding the new ones) i’ve been able to take impressive shots (often to my own surprise) that for me easily justify the spendings. The frames of these lenses are compact and solid since they are made of high-strength aluminium alloy – so trustworthy images can be captured even in an inferior environment.I also do a lot of blue hour and backlit shooting, so I want nice sunstars (all lenses feature well defined 10 stroke sunstars) and I need good flare resistance.

However, there is something I have always wondering about even though I have been a photographer or actually take photos for some years now: there are zoom lenses that have a constant max. In this article we want to give you a few ideas of what to consider when building your own lens kit and show you some of ours in the end. Please therefore let us know if you are dissatisfied with any of our products, or if you have received faulty or defective goods. is without question my most used lens for this type of shooting so I built this kit around it (all these lenses feature pretty much the same color rendition and 8 aperture blades).It’s also more artistic, and if you don’t know what you are doing, the photo will be extremely uninteresting/dull.

In my opinion, they’re almost as good in image quality overall with a much more rugged build and autofocus. The downside is that swapping lenses when you are worried about pace is not really happening, and I was missing the flexibility of the 16-35 ZA. Maybe it allows those taking photos, to avoid the typical range of a mobile phone, and also good cheap teles have been around for decades, but wide angle, you need to use a good one, and also learn it’s characteristic, but offers more unique results in capable hands. Changing lenses is one of the most common workflows in photography and it's also one of the most frustrating.He found that when carrying lenses that are closer in focal length, like a 35mm and a 50mm, one of those two he only uses very rarely. I would prefer a 50mm lens with a lens button and moderate size but this is not available yet (except for the odd 2. I really appreciate the small size and leightweight but still good image quality that camera offers.

I’ve been collecting quite a few lenses over the last several years and it is time to purge down and get to the essentials. I would far rather have two cameras one with 25 lens, and one with 85mm lens which equates to four very useful focal lengths, than a crowded bag full of primes, one camera, and a constant awkward juggling act, exposed sensors, and missing the moment. If you want to build a kit of prime lenses there will be gaps so you should really figure out what focal lengths are most important to you first. Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) technology of Samyang Optics optimises the light penetration and minimises flare and ghosting.At 180°, the rotational angle of the focus ring is more than double that of a still camera lens, making possible extremely high-precision focusing.
