Pentax K-1 real-world sample gallery

02 Jul

We’ve been shooting a lot with the Pentax K-1 and have seen what that manufacturer’s first full-frame DSLR is capable of. Its 36MP sensor has shown impressive results in dynamic range tests, especially when coupled with the camera’s Pixel Shift mode. Its sensor-shift image stabilization, extensive weather sealing and attractive price make it very appealing to outdoorsy types and landscape photographers.

Fortunately, we have several of those kinds of people on staff. They’ve been out shooting the K-1, from the highest mountain peaks to the dimmest concert venues. Our full review is almost wrapped up, but for now we’ve put together a gallery of real-world samples to show you where the K-1 has been so far.

Sony Alpha SLT-A68 real-world samples

29 Jun

The Alpha SLT-A68 is Sony’s entry-level Translucent Mirror camera and the follow-up to the a58. Despite its position in the entry-level class, it borrows many components from its big brother, the Sony SLT- A77 II. This includes a 79 point AF system with 15 cross-type points, Bionz X processor and a stabilized sensor. It all adds up to quite a lot of camera.

The weather is just starting to really warm up here in Seattle and the long days offer plenty of sun-filled hours for shooting. We’ve been out and about with the a68; click the link below to get a sense of its real-world image quality.

Panasonic Lumix G Leica 12mm F1.4 real-world sample gallery

21 Jun

Introduced last week, Panasonic’s 12mm F1.4 brings a weather-resistant, fast 24mm equivalent prime to the Micro Four Thirds system. The Leica name on the lens is reflected in its sturdy metal build, its aperture control ring and its $ 1300 price tag. We intend to do much more shooting with the 12mm F1.4, including some architectural work, but for now here are some initial samples.

Fast and steady: Tamron 85mm F1.8 Di VC USD real-world samples

19 May

The Tamron 85mm F1.8 claims the title of the world’s first fast-aperture 85mm lens with stabilization. The focal length will certainly appeal to portrait photographers, and the combination of Tamron’s vibration compensation with an F1.8 aperture might just give it an edge in low light situations. We’ve been shooting with it over the past couple of weeks, both on full-frame and crop sensor bodies, to get an idea of its performance.

We’ve added some images to our existing D500 sample gallery, and you can keep your eyes peeled for more very soon.

Making a splash: Nikon D500 real-world sample gallery

03 May

Nikon’s flagship APS-C line got a long-awaited update in the D500. And as far as updates go, it’s an impressive one: its 20.9MP sensor, 10 fps continuous shooting, 153-point AF system and 4K video shooting make it something of a DX-format D5. Our initial studio test results have been very encouraging, so we were eager to follow them up with plenty of real-world shooting.

Tamron SP 90mm F2.8 DI Macro VC USD real-world sample gallery

19 Apr

Tamron’s venerable 90mm F2.8 Macro is re-born. This iteration, announced in February of this year, offers stabilization, 1:1 magnification and focusing as close as 13.9cm/5.5in. And as far as full-frame primes go, it’s on the less-expensive side at $ 650. Spring is definitely springing in Seattle, and an abundance of tulips (we’re really not kidding, there are tons of them) provided a great starting point for our real-world Tamron 90mm F2.8 sample gallery.

New normal: Sony FE 50mm F1.8 real-world samples

02 Apr

Sony recently updated its FE line, which now offers 20 full-frame lenses for Sony’s E-mount Alpha cameras. Among the new lens introductions is the FE 50mm F1.8, what you might call Sony’s ‘nifty fifty’. We spent some time shooting with it in San Francisco this weekend, paired with the unforgiving 42MP of the Alpha 7R II. See how the lens holds up in our real-world samples gallery.

Along the coast: Sony FE 24-70 F2.8 GM real-world samples gallery updated

01 Apr

With Springtime finally kicking in to high gear on the West Coast, we took advantage of the change in weather and brought the Sony FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM lens along with us on a couple of trips. From razor-clamming in Long Beach, WA to pounding the streets (and stairs) of San Francisco, the 24-70 G Master continued to impress us in terms of sharpness, out-of-focus rendering and overall build quality. This class of lens is a staple in many professionals’ and advanced amateurs’ kits; to see if it’s worthy of earning a spot in yours, take a look through our updated samples gallery below.

Nikon D5 real-world low light, high ISO samples

01 Apr

See our Nikon D5 high ISO samples gallery

Nikon’s new flagship DSLR, the D5, has landed and it offers some serious high ISO reach. Natively, you can push the camera all the way to ISO 102,400 and in extended settings it goes all the way up to the 3 million mark. We’ve already seen what it looks like in the studio, so to put the camera’s low light capabilities to the test in the real world we brought the D5 with us to the Crocodile, a much-loved Seattle concert venue, followed by a late night stroll through the cherry blossom-lined streets of the Emerald City’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.

Please note, we’ve indicated which images are straight out of camera and which are Raw conversions (with ACR edits noted). We’ll be updating with daylight shots for a full sample gallery soon.
