    Sony All I want is the perfect Cam-er-ah...lens.

    Once again GAS has struck. I decided last season that I would like (not need) a set of 2.8 zooms to bridge the gap between my slower daylight zooms that offer a nice wide focal range and my nighttime primes. The primes are faster, yes, but they also limit my focal range (and thus composition) to...

    Sony Showcase Laowa 15mm f/4/5 Shift

    Doesn't look like anyone else is posting about this lens on Sony. This is a pretty specialist lens, it is very wide angle but also offers +/- 11mm of shift, which really helps with architectural photographs but is also really effective for creating stitch panoramas with little distortion. The...

    Sony Viltrox 28/4.5 Pancake with AF

    Anyone interested in this lens? IQ looks acceptable for what it is. It'd be a nice compact lens on a C or APS-C. Aperture is fixed. Built in lens cap. Supposed to be just south of $100 US. Might be a fun lens, I've never had a pancake...

    Sony Showcase Sony A1 and Minolta 28-135

    Was playing around with some file sizes in the camera, so thought I'd play with an old favorite lens. Kind of surprising how it holds up on a high-res sensor, but they do start to fall apart with too much cropping. These are not full res.

    Sony Showcase Tamron 17-50 F4

    An interesting focal range for sure. It won't rate at DxO but I find its performance very good. Especially considering its attributes. I really enjoyed the 20-40 and while I initially missed the idea of having F2.8, I can see this being more useful and convenient.
