The Canon 50/0.95 TV ‘Dream Lens’ review

The Canon 50/0.95 ‘dream lens’ has been on my wish list for quite some time and a few weeks ago my friend Maarten (The Analog Camera Store) asked me if I was interested to test this lens. He just got it back from an extensive CLA and he also had the mount changed to Leica […]

The Leitz Summicron 35/2.0 V1 (M3) goggled review

You might have seen one of these funny looking goggled lenses on a Leica meeting. I never thought these lenses would make your camera look better, but even if you agree with me on that, there is still a pretty good reason why these lenses deserve a place in your gear cabinet. They are sharp […]

The Leica 80/1.4 Summilux-R review

With the increase in prices of used Leica M glass, the legendary Leica Summilux-M 75/1.4 has become too expensive for a lot of Leica shooters. But there is some good news for these Mandler loving shooters: the Leica Summilux-R 80/1.4 is still reasonably affordable and it’s very similar to the 75/1.4. All you need is […]

The Leica Summilux-SL 50/1.4 ASPH review

When the Leica Summilux-SL 50/1.4 was released, it was not the lens that some SL shooters had hoped for. While most SL shooters love their cameras, they wanted something considerably smaller and more light weight than the excellent, but heavy Leica 24-90 zoom lens. Something they could mount on their SL and walk around with […]

The Leica Summicron-M 28/2.0 ASPH review

A few years ago, the Leica Summicron-M 28/2.0 ASPH was the fastest Leica 28mm you could get. Now that the Summilux 28 is also available, the 28 Summicron is nicely positioned between the 28 Lux and 28 Elmarit. While the 28 Cron has some features from both the 28 Lux and 28 Elmarit, it would […]

The Leica Summarit-M 75/2.4 review

The Leica Summarit-M 75/2.4 is the last lens of the Summarit-M range that I tried for a few weeks. I was already familiar with the ‘old’ Summarit 75: the 2.5 version, which I really like. To be honest, I didn’t really notice any difference between the new and old Summarit 75. In my usual shots […]

The Leica Elmarit-M 28/2.8 ASPH review

If you’re looking for the smallest and most light weight native Leica lens, you can stop right here. The Leica 28/2.8 Elmarit-M ASPH is tiny, super light and it has all the specs you need for terrific landscape shots and (documentary) travel photography. I bought this lens years ago when I needed something wider than […]

The Leica Summilux-M 28/1.4 review

The Leica 28 Summilux is a truly amazing lens. I have seen and used quite a few of the best Leica lenses, but this is one I will remember. The rendering is absolutely lovely and the 28 lux is still a very usable lens with regards to ergonomics. If you don’t want to read this […]

3x Leica 28: a quick overview

Two weeks ago I had the chance to shoot the three Leica 28mm lenses simultaneously. I carried the 28 Elmarit, Summicron and Summlilux in my bag for a week. With the Elmarit I’m pretty familiar, because I have this lens in my kit for a number of years now. I bought it to see if […]

The Zenith 50/1.5 Jupiter 3+ review

So far I haven’t been overly enthusiastic about the Zenit Lomography lenses, but that changes today. The 50/1.5 Jupiter 3+ isn’t the sharpest 50mm on earth, but it delivers a lot of classical character. I don’t need to explain why you should have a 50mm lens. That is quite obvious. The correct question is which […]
