Nikon creates Nikkor 1 AW 10mm f/2.8 and 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6 lenses

AW10_BK_1.png

As part of its ‘AW’ launches, Nikon has announced the Nikkor 1 AW 10mm f/2.8 and 1 AW 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6 lenses. Both lenses are existing designs built into waterproof, shockproof housings and are only compatible with the Nikon 1 AW1 body. The 1 AW 10mm f/2.8 offers a 27mm equivalent field-of-view and will be sold separately for around $ 200/£300. The Nikkor 1 AW 11-27.5mm zoom offers a rather limited 30-74mm equivalent range and will only be available as part of a kit with the camera – meaning there are no image-stabilized AW lenses yet.

Fujifilm introduces XF 27mm F2.8 ‘pancake’ lens

25 Jun

27mm-black-520.png

Fujifilm has introduced the XF 27mm F2.8, a compact ‘pancake’ lens for its X-system cameras. It’s just 23mm thick and weighs only 78g, making it by far the smallest X-mount lens. This means there’s no space for an aperture ring, so X-Pro1 and X-E1 owners will need to update their firmware to allow aperture setting from the camera’s rear control dial. It’ll be available in either black or silver, at an MSRP of $ 449.95.

In the latest of our lens reviews brought to you in partnership with DxOMark, we take a look at Canon’s slimline ‘pancake’ prime for its APS-C and full frame SLRs.
