Sad Joe

Purchased this lens at a good discount from a branch of Comet a couple of years ago believing that I might make use of it on my APS-C cameras. Years ago I had a Nikkor 55mm MF lens on my Nikon FE/...

This lens is my most recent telephone zoom purchase for use on my APS-C cameras. I've used a vast range of such lenses include Vivitar, Kiron, Tamron, Nikon as well as Canon, some AF. some not. I...

Came as my kit lens with a Canon 40D back in 2009. A vast improvement on the kit 18-55 that came with my 20D a year or so earlier. Much faster ultrasonic auto focus with more sure focus lock,...

What the Zeiss ? As well as silly names Zeiss appear to be doing a Leica - "we must be good cause were so expensive" - Zeiss glass is good, some say brilliant - but I can't help feeling that Zeiss...

Unless you HAVE to have the viewfinder this latest Pen is an OM-D KILLER - of course we all know this is the OM-D in all but name. Expected to be some 100's of pounds cheaper I know which I would...

At 70 % off I'm really interested !! Still waiting for the Canon EOS-M lens/flash kit to hit £299 - not long now - unless Canon redraw them, dig a big hole and forget they ever made such a poor AF...

Focus was dying (as is the whole market place) and it was there for all to see - I attended 2012 and saw the fantastic Olympus stand complete with dancers from SCD - loved the OM-D which I managed...

A shame that its closing but having attended for a number of years I did feel that the show had either to change (become far more interactive) or close and did not plan to attend the 2014 show (if...

So true. I've used a Nikon D700 (lovely camera with plenty of quality) tried using a Nikon D600 - too small - didn't impress. Yesterday I attended a wedding (I now do wedding cars but have over 10...

Interesting update - On this weeks Calumet News Canon are offering a FOC photo back pack 'worth £115' with each new 7D and 6D purchased. Now it makes sense that Calumet/ Canon need to boost sales...

WOW - Nikon bring out a greatly interesting prime for their 1 series and then WOW - what a price. Are they expecting to sell many ? Good luck to that lads....

Another sign of the times guys....only a matter of time before us camera loving folk walking around with our DSLR's look as silly as photographers of old having to hid under a sheet to take images...

Well months on what are we to think about the 6D ? Fury and Frustration greeted the new Canon 6D camera as it was about to enter the market place in October 2012 including from me. Since then it...

You make a good point - after all Canon were able to upgrade the 7D with a new software upgrade package. I think its unlikely given that the 5D2 is still such a good camera (OK - AF is rubbish) for...

I'd still love to buy a 5d3 if only I could afford one - I used one at a wedding a few months ago and didn't want to hand it back ! However even I as a massive Canon fan still feel that Canon are...

I think Sigma should be given a firm slap on the back for being so brave and advancing lens design forward across so many formats. I've never been a massive fan of Sigma ( I have only ever owned...

Great point well made. Kiron glass was pretty good ( I used to work for the importer into the UK Lotus Instructions at one time) well made none of that nasty plastic stuff that we all put up with...

Nope ! This is old school classic engineering with all the benefits and issues that brings...

Think the Sony NEX line NEEDS decent glass, less so the Fuji X range which already has some excellent lenses. Still a good move for Zeiss me thinks. Leica to do the same next > ? Only joking Leica...

About time Canon, can only guess why its taken you almost 7 months. How about a fix for the poor AF on the EOS-M next ? Would LOVE to buy one but cannot live with the current AF which is hopeless....
