    Filter sizes for Canon EF lenses

    March 27, 2025 /

    Canon filter sizes are difficult to find, at least in a list form. At one time, all manufacturers went to the trouble to do so with printed brochures but now, with the internet, not so much. With the move to EOS R cameras and the highly capable and versatile EF-RF adaptors, the older EF lenses remain hugely popular. Indeed, with focusing accuracy as good if not better than the older DSLRs, especially when focused off-centre, EF lenses have seen a new lease of life. Filters for lens protection seem to divide opinions, however, I’m strongly in favour of them. Not only do they prevent fumbling with lens caps (keep those…

    Filter sizes for Canon RF lenses

    March 18, 2025 /

    Manufacturers have favourite filter sizes. Canon, for example, often adopted 72mm and 77mm for L-series EF mount lenses but that has changed somewhat with the RF mount to 67mm, 77mm and 82mm being common sizes. Once a popular size on the original Canon FD breach-lock mount lenses from the 70s (not FDn), the 55mm filter thread size is also making a comeback. For Canon lenses, I recommend Canon ‘Protect’ or Protector filters as they’re extremely high quality. They’re also very reasonably priced, at least for the popular sizes. Sizes above 82mm are steep, though, so you could look for more competitive offerings such as the excellent Firecrest models for that…

    Leica Super-APO-Summicron-SL 21 mm F2 ASPH lens review

    March 12, 2025 /

    The Leica Super-APO-Summicron-SL 21 mm F2 ASPH is a high-speed wide-angle for Leica SL cameras. It was announced in October 2023. This lens has the Super-Apo moniker and has a complex design of 14 elements in total, arranged in 11 groups. Leica doesn’t say how many AD (anomalous partial dispersion) elements there are but claims that ‘most’ of the 14 elements are made from ‘special custom glass.’ That may include the three elements with aspherical surfaces, but it’s unclear. Like others in the SL range, the lens also adopts a ‘digital element,’ or what’s better known as a built-in profile, to correct vignetting, distortion and chromatic aberration. While it’s perhaps…

    Leica launches fifth New Classic lens, the Summilux-M 50 F1.4 from 1959

    February 20, 2025 /

    Leica is launching a new version of its classic Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 lens from 1959. As the fifth in the Classic Line series, following the Summaron-M 28 f/5.6, Thambar-M 90 f/2.2, Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH, and the Summilux-M 35 f/1.4, the newly reissued M-mount model features vintage Leica styling, including a scalloped focusing ring and chrome-plated brass construction. To complete the vintage aesthetic, there’s even a circular, vented hood in black with chrome locking buttons. Optically, the lens is based on the second Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 (II) formula. The design promises highly attractive rendering wide-open, with soft blur transitions to out-of-focus highlights. It is also said to deliver higher sharpness…

    Leica SL3 review

    February 8, 2025 /

    The Leica SL3 is the third in the series of mirrorless models, which started with the magnificently minimalist 24 MP Leica SL. Kevin Carter takes a look. What is it? The SL3 is the latest in the series and adopts the same body style as the 47 MP Leica SL2 and the 5-axis IS from that model, which was missing from the original SL. The headline specs are the increase in sensor resolution to 60 MP and the inclusion of hybrid AF with Depth from Defocus (DFD) tech to aid focusing accuracy. Fortunately, the photographer doesn’t need to know how this works, as the camera handles that without any input…

    Leica Q3 43 review

    December 11, 2024 /

    Leica’s Q3 43 builds on the success of the Q-series, adding a new 43mm F2 Apo lens to the 60 MP CMOS of the regular Leica Q3. Kevin Carter takes a look. With Canon and Nikon concentrating on niche genres like sports and action or the ‘content creator’, it’s hardly surprising when something like the Leica Q3 arrives to fill the void. And now it has been joined by the Leica Q3 43. While expensive, with better resale prices than rival makes when the time comes to upgrade, it is perhaps the most economical way into the Leica system. Small, light and discreet, the Leica Q3 43 shares the ergonomics…

    Black Friday Deals on Storage

    November 26, 2024 /

    Software discounts on Black Friday always seem appealing, but the timing often feels inconvenient for me. It seems like the focus is more on attracting new customers rather than rewarding loyal ones. Switching to new software can be tempting, but it often means losing out on what I’ve already invested in. This year, however, there’s a noticeable emphasis on storage solutions, which feels much easier to justify and purchase. Last year, I reviewed the SanDisk Extreme Pro G-40 SSD here. I was impressed, but the deals were pretty modest at the time. This year, SanDisk seems to be more proactive, offering great prices on their 2TB and 4TB models, although…

    Sigma 24mm F2 DG DN C lens review

    November 18, 2024 /

    Sigma is well known for its Art series lenses, but the maker’s full-frame ‘Contemporary’ or C  series lenses deserve equal recognition for offering great image quality in a smaller, lighter package. Take the Sigma 24mm F2 DG DN C lens reviewed here, for example. With a metal outer barrel and milled metal aperture and focus rings, it’s a very nicely made lens indeed. What’s more, weighing just 365g and measuring 72mm in length, the L-mount version I was sent pairs incredibly well with the tiny Sigma fp sent for testing. Inside, the lens has 13 elements arranged in 11 groups, with one fancy, fluorite-like FLD element, two SLD (Super-Low Dispersion)…
