Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm F4 IS Pro real-world sample gallery

Olympus just squeezed a 600mm equivalent field of view into a 2.8-pound lens, complete with image stabilization, weatherproofing and an impressive close focusing distance. Meet the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 300mm F4 IS PRO.

This compact, 2.8 pound supertelephoto is splashproof, freezeproof and dustproof, and is the first Olympus interchangeable lens with a built-in image stabilization mechanism. When paired with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 (firmware version 4.0) or E-M5 Mark II (firmware version 2.0), the 300mm’s in-body and in-lens image stabilization work together to produce image stabilization performance that Olympus claims is equivalent to up to six stops of compensation. 

We got the chance to shoot with it recently, and we’ve prepared a gallery of sample images.

Rain or shine: Fujifilm XF 35mm F2 R WR real-world sample gallery

30 Nov

Fujifilm’s XF 35mm F2 strikes an appealing balance between size, cost and durability. It’s sealed against moisture and dust, making it a great candidate for use with the weather-resistant X-T1, and at $ 399 is a fairly affordable ‘normal’ prime for Fuji’s X-system. The Pacific Northwest is just the place to test weather-resistant gear, though thankfully we’ve had enough unseasonably dry and sunny days to put together a real-world sample gallery with the 35mm F2.

Canon EF 35mm F1.4L II USM real-world sample gallery

25 Nov

Canon’s new EF 35mm F1.4L USM II lens has some pretty big shoes to fill. Its older brother, now on the market for 17 years, has become both a benchmark and a staple of many a pro Canon shooter’s kit. We’ve had the Mark II version for a few days, and we’ve spent that time shooting some environmental portraits, landscapes and lots more in between. Read more

Sony Cyber-shot RX1R II real-world sample gallery posted

24 Nov

As far as advanced fixed-lens compacts go, it doesn’t get much more enticing than the Sony RX1R II. Like its predecessor, it couples a full-frame sensor with a fast, wide-angle prime, but this time it’s equipped with a 42.2MP chip to complement its 35mm F2 lens. We were pretty darn excited to get outdoors with the RX1R II and see what it can do. Read more

Canon PowerShot G5 X real-world samples gallery

19 Nov

Canon’s PowerShot G5 X is based around the same 20.2MP 1″-type sensor as its G9 X counterpart. With its SLR-style grip, EVF and bevy of external controls, the G5 X promises an enthusiast-friendly shooting experience in a solid and reasonably compact package. We’ve now had time to take it around Seattle and put it through its paces. Read more

Canon PowerShot G5 X and G9 X added to studio comparison, real-world G9 X gallery published

17 Nov

Canon’s PowerShot G9 X and G5 X offer two distinctly different shooting experiences, but are based around the same 20.2MP 1″-type sensor. The G5 X provides an SLR-style grip and an EVF with a 24-100mm equiv. F1.8-2.8 lens, while the smaller G9 X offers a 28-84mm equiv. F2.0-4.9 lens. We’ve put them through our standard studio scene testing, and we’ve also assembled a gallery of real-world samples from the G9 X. Read more

M & M: Leica SL Typ 601 real-world gallery updated with M-series lens samples

28 Oct

The Leica SL Typ 601 is the German manufacturer’s first foray into the full-frame mirrorless world, offering a 24MP CMOS sensor in a weather-sealed, milled-aluminum body. Three SL lenses have been introduced for the system, but an M-mount adapter opens up a number of possibilities for the camera. We took advantage of some limited time to shoot with the SL and the Summilux-M 35mm F1.4 ASPH and 50mm F1.4 – see what the combination looks like. Read more

Go big: Leica SL studio and real-world sample gallery

21 Oct

Leica has just unveiled its first full-frame mirrorless camera, the SL Type 601. The new camera uses a modified version of the 24MP CMOS sensor from the Leica Q in tandem with a Maestro II processor, allowing ISO 50-50,000 shooting, 4K video recording and 11 fps continuous shooting. With early access to a full production SL, we’ve been able to test it against our studio test scene as well as in a variety of real-world shooting conditions. Read more

Wide lens, right price? Nikon 24mm F1.8G ED real-world samples

20 Oct

Earlier this year Nikon expanded a series of F1.8 primes with the 24mm F1.8G ED, sitting alongside 20mm and 35mm models. Compact and lightweight, it hits a $ 750 price point that’s relatively reasonable, considering the F1.4 version retails for over $ 2000. We’ve spent some time shooting with the new 24mm prime – take a look at its performance out and about. Read more

Something special: Tamron SP 35mm F1.8 and SP 45mm F1.8 real-world galleries

15 Oct

Tamron seemed to have taken a cue from Sigma when it launched the SP 35mm and 45mm F1.8, following that company’s lead in offering fast, high quality fixed focal length lenses. Designed for full frame camera bodies, the SP 35mm and 45mm boast weather-proofing, fluorine coatings and close-focusing abilities not usually found at these focal lengths. Take a look at two full galleries of real-world sample images. Read more
