Bringing 1:1 macro to the Fujifilm X system: The Zeiss Touit 50mm Macro Full Review

04/12/2014 By Mathieu

The Touit lenses designed for the Fujifilm X series haven’t been very successful so far and I feel that there are various reasons for this.

Firstly, the first two lenses released (12mm and 32mm) are probably too close in terms of focal length and performance to the Fuji 14mm f/2.8 and 35mm f/1.4. Granted, the 2mm variance between the two wide angle lenses makes a bigger difference than the 3mm variance between the two standard lenses.

Secondly, there is the fact that while the name Zeiss is synonymous with high image quality, Fujifilm has also managed to construct a very good reputation with its own line of lenses.

Finally, Touit lenses have been designed for two systems (Fuji X and Sony APS-C). When this happens, products often end up being more successful on one system than the other, regardless of actual performance. I personally find a lens like the 12mm f/2.8 more attractive on the Sony APS-C system, for the simple reason that it doesn’t have any native wide angle primes.

Is the third time the charm? – The Fujifilm X30 Complete Review

19/11/2014 By Mathieu

When it comes to cameras (and electronic products in general) there is always a time when an upgrade is released which aims not to transform but to perfect the previous product. The original X10 and X100 were new additions to the compact camera market when they were first released, and saw the rise of a completely new category. The X20 and the X100s were enhancements of the original models. The third generation was designed to make these cameras perfect.

The ZY Optics “Mitakon” 24mm f/1.7 and 42.5mm f/1.2 (Micro Four Thirds mount) Complete Review

17/11/2014 By Mathieu

Zhong Yi Optics is a Chinese manufacturer known not only for its adapters but also its Speedmaster lens series. Their latest addition, the 50mm f/0.95 for the Sony full-frame system in particular, has generated lots of curiosity because of its ultra fast aperture and very affordable price. At Photokina this year we met with the ZY Optics team to have a first look at the new 24mm and 42.5mm lenses announced in September. They also kindly sent two samples for us to review over the course of a week.

The Complete Panasonic GH4 Review – Chapter Two: Video capabilities

07/11/2014 By Mathieu

In the first part of our complete GH4 review, we focused on its still capabilities to show you how good this camera can be for taking photographs in various conditions. It is without a doubt one of the best Micro Four Thirds camera available as of today. But the strength of Panasonic’s new flagship camera lies not only in its great image-taking ability but also its stunning video capabilities. It is the best example of a camera that fuses two worlds, photography and filmmaking, continually demonstrating that they can actually co-exist and work together in one body.

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. Some of the thoughts written in this article are already present in my comparison between this lens and the Lumix 35-100mm f/2.8.
