Lens reviews: sorted by mount

Scores for sharpness / resolution (Res), chromatic aberration (CA), vignetting (Vign), and distortion (Dist) are given. The higher the score, the better the quality in terms of optical performance. The highest achievable score for each property is 9,9. Lens scores will drop in time, since every time a new lens is added, all scores are recalculated.

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 Fujifilm X-E1 was announced in 2012, just before the Photokina. This camera is in many aspects very similar to the early 2012 Fujifilm X-PRO, but the X-E1 is more economically priced. This price advantage is due to the omission of...

Canon PIXMA PRO-10 review

The Canon PIXMA PRO-10 photo printer was introduced at the same time as the Canon PIXMA PRO-100. The Pixma PRO 100 uses dye ink, while the Pixma PRO-10 uses pigmented ink.

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...
