The Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro and MC-14 Teleconverter Complete Review

30/10/2014 By Mathieu

After shooting with the new Olympus professional zoom for more than two weeks, I can finally write the complete review about its performance and ease-of-use in a real world situation. You may have already read different articles here on MirrorLessons and you’ve probably seen lots of images and other reviews on the internet about this lens.

Following my recent comparison between the Lumix 35-10mm f/2.8 and the new Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8, I wanted to write a more in-depth and general analysis about the new lenses showcased at Photokina by the different mirrorless camera brands. The one aspect that each has in common is an increase in size and weight, something that seems to have triggered different reactions, many of which I’ve come across by reading comments on the web and on our website.

Do smartphones and interchangeable lenses go together? – Hands-on with the Sony QX1

16/10/2014 By Mathieu

Sony released its innovative Lens Style cameras last year as a response to the increasing popularity of photography performed with smartphones.

What they lack is a traditional grip and an LCD screen but that’s where your smartphone comes into play. By connecting the two devices with Wifi or NFC technology, your smartphone enables you to control everything on screen, from the adjustments of settings to image taking.
