Zeiss Biogon 28mm f2.8 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • July 23, 2024
  • 4 comments
While this lens isn’t flawless, I appreciate its punchy high-contrast rendering and pop. It delivers a pleasant classic look for everyday or street photography. Optically, distortion is minimal, but wide open, the corners and edges can be a bit sloppy, and there’s noticeable vignetting at f2.8.

Pergear 35mm f1.6 Review & Sample Photos

The Pergear 35mm f1.6 is an all-manual metal APS-C lens that fits more into the category of a classic lens than a modern lens. There are a lot of great lenses for an affordable price, and for the classic rendering, this is one of my favorites.

The Glimmer Glass is one of the many types of diffusion filters made by Tiffen that produces one of many different types of Diffusion effects. While they all diffuse light, they are not all the same and do it in their own way and the use-case will vary pretty significantly. See how the Tiffen Glimmer Glass filter is different from the rest.

Voigtlander 75mm f1.5 Review & Sample Photos

  • Alik Griffin
  • July 23, 2024
  • One comment
This lens is a delightful addition to the m-mount system. Its sharpness is commendable, especially at f2.8, although it still holds up well even at f1.5. In very bright lighting, you may notice some ghosting at the fastest aperture, and occasionally there may be some flaring with a noticeable arc. Nonetheless, the bokeh is beautifully vibrant with a touch of swirl in the foreground and only slight chatter and swirl at the edges in the background. This telephoto lens stands out due to its stunning color and contrast, and the overall character it creates at f1.5 and f2 is truly enchanting. While it's not a flawless lens, Voigtlander's 7-element design gives it a unique and classic look with a captivating bokeh.

The Zeiss Planar 50mm f2 lens is a true gem in the world of photography. It has earned its reputation as the standard lens for the ZM system and for good reason. This lens offers exceptional image quality, with incredibly sharp details and a consistent rendering that is hard to match. Its T* anti-reflective coating ensures that even in difficult lighting conditions, the lens produces images with minimal flare and ghosting.
