Lens reviews (mm)

All lens reviews are, with: "What you see, is what you get" in mind, based on standard jpg files straight from the camera. Careful development of RAW files will yield higher image quality. In our camera reviews the image quality of jpg files and RAW files is compared for each camera. Scores are shown for sharpness / resolution (Res), chromatic aberration (CA), vignetting (Vign), and distortion (Dist).The tested focal length ("mm@ff") is expressed as the focal length equivalent for a lens on a camera with a full frame sensor. Doing this yields test results for lenses tested at different sensor sizes, which can be compared directly.

Review Fujifilm X-E1

We already published a few Fujinon XF lens reviews (Fujinon XF 60mm macro and the Fujifilm XF 18-55mm), but this Fujifilm X-E1 review is our first Fujifilm camera review.

The Vanguard Up-Rise 48 camera bag is the largest member of the Up-Rise series and offers almost all the options you can think of for a camera bag. There is place for a tripod, a 15 inch laptop, a rain...
