Needing to get really wide?
Aside from cost,this lens is something I’d really like to have in my bag. Always been a bit of a sucker for fisheye images, and the ability to zoom would be a plus. But at about $1,500 it’s a little much.
For a full frame camera this lens will cover 180° and a bit less on an APS-C digital sensor.
Know a photographer that has it all? Or more likely, know one that has such high-end taste that you can’t afford to get that lens that’s missing from their collection? And do you need a gift?
How about a coffee cup that looks like a Canon lens? And of course they wouldn’t be happy with just any lens, so this cup is a mimic of a L lens with a USM motor.
Bought one of these guys a couple days ago and 48 hours in am very happy with it.
Had a 250gb USB drive finally die on me a couple weeks ago and needed a replacement so I headed down to Best Buy to pick up a big USB drive. 2tb seemed about the right size for me and at $119 the price was right. But for $30 more I could get the MyBook Live instead that connects via ethernet, and that’s what I did. That way it’s always online and not dependent on a specific computer being on.
Ever missed a shot because you were worried about your camera getting wet? The Kodak EasyShare Sport may be the camera you’re looking for.
Take pictures by the pool, in the rain, or up to 10 feet underwater. It even includes a underwater white balance to help keep colors true. Don’t worry about the camera, worry about the shot. And since it’s waterproof it’s also more resistant to sand and dust than most cameras.
Available in Gray, Blue, and Red; although it appears some vendors don’t carry all 3 colors.
If you don’t have a fast 50mm lens in your bag, you need one. I’ve got an earlier model of this lens and it never leaves my camera bag. It’s such a small and light lens, and the fast f/1.8 speed makes it the go to lens for really low light.
The other side is I’m a zoom lens guy so it doesn’t get as much use as my Sigma 24-70, but when this little guy is needed it’s needed.
There is a more expensive f/1.4 version of this lens. Never tried it personally, but I’ve also never had a need for a faster lens than f/1.8. Unless it’s just crazy dark I’ve never shot wide open at f/1.8 anyway except to try it out when I first got the lens. The speed at which it focuses is very nice though.
Couple of quick firmware updates for the Sigma DP1x and Sigma DP2x cameras.
The DP1x updates to version 1.02 and includes RAW+JPG capture, enhancements to high speed auto focus, the LCD image quality is enhanced, along with a handful of other additions. The DP2x update is to version 1.01 and includes the same RAW+JPG update.
The Kodak No. 3A Folding Pocket Model C was manufactured from 1912 through 1915 and originally cost $20.00. It uses 122 film with shutter speeds of T, B, 1/25, 1/50, and 1/100. The front lens element can shift and rise.
The Kodak Vigilant Six-20 was produced from 1939 through 1949. It takes 620 film shooting an image of 6x9cm. This particular model has a 100mm f/8.8 lens with f-stops of f/8.8, f/11, f/16, f/22, and f/32. Shutter speed are 1/100, 1/50, 1/25, Bulb, and T.
As a Canon guy I’ve never tried this lens, but I do have the Canon equivalent. It’s not often when I need the speed of f/1.8 or a fixed 50mm focal length, but when it’s dark or I need a really short depth of field it’s the lens to use. And since it’s so small it gets a place in my camera bag no matter what I’m planning.
Released earlier this month, The Nikon AF-S DX Micro 40mm f/2.8 is a lens for DX formatted Nikon dSLRs that allow you to get up close and personal with your subject.
As a micro lens you will be able to focus up to 16cm (~ 6. inches) and the short depth of field possible with an f/2.8 lens will allow to you easily control the blur around your image. A Silent Wave Motor (SWM) gives you quiet autofocus to limit disturbances to any small animals and insects you may be photographing.
