Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II Lens Review by The-Digital-Picture.com

In the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II Lens, we have a very useful tool. Since it is small and light, we can take it everywhere. Since it is fast (f/2.8), we can use it in low light and indoors – and to stop action. Since it has very good image quality, we can use it for important shots. This list along with a nice general-purpose focal length range fills the requirements of a huge range of photographic opportunities (I’ll let you think of them). For the price, the Tamron 17-50 is a bargain lens.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 USM L – Review by photozone.de

The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 USM L is a specialty lens for those requiring the maximum in depth-of-field capabilities. At large apertures the lens produces the beautiful, buttery bokeh which can be expected from such a lens. Technically the resolution results are very good to excellent but not really superior to its cheaper cousin – the EF 50mm f/1.4 USM. The center performance is generally stellar but the borders can´t quite follow although they remain easily in very good territory beyond f/1.2. The vignetting is quite high at maximum aperture and CAs are unusually pronounced for a fix-focal. The build quality of the lens is exceptional and the AF speed is very fast for such a lens.

Fast-aperture, high performance wide-angle zoom optimized for FX and DX-format sensors and features Nikon’s ED Glass and Nano Crystal Coat.

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED Autofocus Lens is a fast aperture standard zoom lens designed for photojournalism and general photography. Optimized for edge-to-edge sharpness on both the Nikon FX (full-frame) and DX-format image sensors, this lens also includes two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements and PGM aspherical lenses that help control chromatic aberrations while enhancing sharpness and contrast, even at the widest aperture settings.

The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) feature provides swift autofocus with superior accuracy and ultra-quiet operation. This G-type lens does not feature an aperture ring on the lens body, resulting in a lighter and more compact lens. Aperture changes are designed to be done via the camera’s command dial.

• Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements and PGM aspherical lenses control chromatic aberrations while enhancing sharpness and contrast.
• Exclusive Nano Crystal Coat further reduces ghosting and flare for even greater image clarity.
• Internal Focus (IF) provides fast and quiet auto focusing without changing the length of the lens, retaining subject-working distance through the focus range.
• Rugged construction and professional-grade dust and moisture resistance.
• M/A Focus Mode switch enables quick response to changing situations between Auto and Manual focus operation.

Thanks Wei Leng for writing in this morning informing us on something that’s amiss since the beginning of the project! Gosh, how could we missed it at the first place.

I am your regular visitor and always check for the latest price check list posted at myLensDB.com , but currently the list only shows the latest top 10 submission, if I wish to check more on historical data (says info that stated at 15th in the list), I found no way to access the said info.

Without these historical data, I found that the prick check list is a bit meaningful to public especially for those who wish with to check specify item’s prices.

Now, you will be able to browse through all the prices tracked in myLensDB in the homepage itself! Of course, we can find specific equipment’s price in it’s page. You can find the particular equipment in the complete listing.
