Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS vs. Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS
First off: this is not a review. This is a simple test under controlled conditions to evaluate image quality of these two compact L-series telephotos. A full review of the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS can be found here, while my review of the RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS can be found here. In November, Canon expanded…

Fuji 10-24mm vs Fuji 14mm f/2.8 and Fuji 23mm f/1.4
With the release of Fuji’s latest zoom lens, the ultra-wide angle 10-24mm f/4 R OIS, many Fuji shooters are having a difficult time deciding between this lens or a two lens combo with Fuji’s outstanding 14mm f/2.8 and 23mm f/1.4. Since I own the two primes, and I have the 10-24mm in for review this…

Fujifilm X-E1 vs X-E2 – RAW Performance
In the second (and last) of my tests between the new Fujifilm X-E2 and X-E1, I take a look at the image quality over the ISO range in RAW, using Lightroom 5.3 RC. I’d like to do the comparison in Capture One 7 (and I may revisit it later), but right now Capture One doesn’t…

Zeiss Touit 12mm f/2.8 vs Fujinon 14mm f/2.8 R
With the release of Zeiss lenses for Fuji and Sony’s NEX, many owners of Fuji’s X system have been wondering whether the new Zeiss Touit 12mm f/2.8 Distagon is worth the nearly $400 price premium over Fuji’s already outstanding 14mm f/2.8. I reviewed the 14mm f/2.8 last month, and I’ve found it to be one…

Quick Test – Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro vs Fuji 60mm f/2.4 Macro
Last night I decided to do a quick test between the Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro on the OM-D and the Fuji 60mm f/2.4 Macro on the Fuji X-E1. Both are the same focal length (but give a little different fields of view due to the different sensor sizes), similar in aperture and both are macro…

Macro Battle Part 2 – Olympus 60mm vs Leica 45mm
A few days ago, I compared the new Olympus 60mm f/2.8 against the venerable Leica 45mm f/2.8 to see how they stacked up in the macro and close focus arena when stopped down. Today I’m going to look at another characteristic: Wide open performance and bokeh. These are important because macro lenses often pull double…

Macro Battle: Olympus 60mm f/2.8 vs Leica 45mm f/2.8
I did a little bit of testing last night with the new Olympus 60mm f/2.8 Macro and I compared it with the only other dedicated macro lens for Micro 4/3, the Panasonic Leica 45mm f/2.8 OIS. As far as construction goes, they are similarly built. Both have high-grade plastic bodies built to tight tolerances and…
