Lens Review

Nikon 85mm f/1.8 AF-D renders sharp, characterful images. This compact classic remains an enjoyable choice for photographers who value simplicity and decent image quality for portraits.

I found this vintage Nikon zoom lens in a junk lens section. After using it for a while, I think it’s an underrated lens which does wonder for everyday scenes and potraitures.

The AI version of vintage Nikon 50mm f1.4 is a performant lens that is fun to use for both digital and film photography. Read the details in this lens review!

I will be reviewing yet another lens from my Takumar lenses collection, the versatile SMC Takumar 28mm f/3.5. Here’s what I think about the lens!

Compact and lightweight, the newish Sony 28-60mm f4-5.6 is perfect for travel but struggles with low light, focus precision, and spontaneity.

Recently I’ve been exclusively using one lens to take pictures wherever I go: TTArtisan APS-C 25mm f2.0. In my opinion, this is the perfect lens for street photography.

A zoom lens with superb focal length coverage, Nikon 28-300mm is the right lens choice for just about anything. Find out what I think about the lens in this review.

Allow me to review another Takumar telephoto lens this time, the 135mm f3.5. Read more to find out, with film and digital photo samples!

This Nikon 20mm lens offers decent wide-angle shots. While it’s not a game-changer, it’s a solid choice for landscapes, streets and architecture.

This time I’m going to review a zoom lens from the olden days, the Takumar 85-210mm. It is a big and heavy manual lens, but is it worth to use in the digital age?

Asahi Pentax Takumar 55mm is a lens with a rather unusual focal length. I’ve tested this lens in digital and film, so let’s see how it performs in this lens review!

I have been using a Canon FD 28mm f3.5 wide angle lens to accompany an old Canon F1 that I acquired a while ago. Here’s what I think of the lens.
