Samsung added two new lenses to its NX mirrorless camera lineup, one for pros, and another designed to serve as a smaller alternative to the kit lens. Both lenses range from 16-50mm, but the first is a premium design with the ‘S’ designation, whose bulkier design accommodates an F2.0-F2.8 aperture and optical image stabilization. The second lens is a retractable F3.5-5.6 power zoom with OIS, which the company says offers improved performance over the 18-55mm kit lens.

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G was one of the more unexpected lens releases of 2013. It’s a fast normal prime for full frame shooters, but its $ 1699.95 / £1599.99 price tag represents a huge premium compared to the existing (and very good) AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G. What’s more, lab tests failed to show any clear sharpness advantage either. So why, exactly, is Nikon asking so much for this lens, and just how well does it perform in real-world use? Find out.

Stock photos are professional images of ordinary locations, events, nature, landmarks and people. They’re purchased as well as sold on a royalty-free agreement, and what makes them so useful is, of course, the fact that they can be constantly used for commercial-design applications. The photographer who snapped the stock photos owns them, but the person who purchased them gets to Continue Reading

Nikon has announced the AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G, a premium standard prime for full frame SLRs that’s designed to deliver the best possible images, even at maximum aperture. It’s highly corrected for coma, meaning that point light sources are rendered correctly right across the frame, and is specifically designed to give an attractive rendition of out-of-focus regions of the image. It can also be used on Nikon’s DX format SLRs, on which it will behave like a classic 85mm ‘portrait’ lens. This all comes with a hefty price tag, though; $ 1699.95 / £1599.99. It’ll be on sale in selected retailers at the end of this month.
