  • Glass – 02. Miranda 35-135mm F3.5 | Sample 2

    Here’s a better example of the spherical distortion I mentioned. You can see in the subtle bokeh in the background that it swirls in a circular way, where the edges are a little more in focus than the centre. This means you can separate a central subject more effectively from a background and do so…

  • Glass – 02. Miranda 35-135mm F3.5 | Sample 1

    Since this lens has a significant crop factor (around 2x), the photos on the 35mm end work out as 60-70mm. While not being wide-angle macro, they’re different enough from the 100mm to be interesting to try. The Miranda also has a slight circular distortion when shot against a bokeh background. //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

  • Glass – 02. Miranda 35-135mm F3.5 | Test

    This is a test shot from the Miranda lens at 135mm, F3.5. Comparing this image to the shot from the Canon 100mm lens, you can see that the shot is a lot tighter, given only a 35mm focal length difference. This means that when using an adapter from the Canon FD mount to Canon EF,…

  • Glass – 02. Miranda 35-135mm F3.5 | Overview

    Week 2 of lenses! This time it’s a macro lens on the opposite end of the spectrum to the Canon 100mm F2.8. I bought this lens at a car-boot sale for £15 (together with a Canon T50 camera!) For the price, this lens is very good. The image is of course not as clear but…

  • Glass – 01. Canon 100mm F2.8 Macro | Sample 3

    Not so much a street shot as an on-the-move portrait. This lens has a rapid autofocus which gave me a lot of time to compose the shot. Shallow depth of field also gives very strong bokeh in the background. //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

  • Glass – 01. Canon 100mm F2.8 Macro | Sample 2

    An example of portraiture, albeit animal, using the 100mm lens. The low contrast gives a lot of scope when battling bright backgrounds and dark subjects. Here I managed to recover detail from the shadows as well as retain colour of the blurred garden through the window. The very large F2.8 aperture also lets me have…

  • Glass – 01. Canon 100mm F2.8 Macro | Sample 1

    08 This is an example of both the macro capability of the lens and the low light performance. Shot at 800ISO in an evening’s shade, you can see that you can still get a sharp photo. There isn’t much that you can fault this lens for in terms of quality – especially for non-professional photos.…

  • Glass – 01. Canon 100mm F2.8 Macro | Test

    Here’s a test shot from the 100mm macro. Each of these lenses will have a test shot of this exact scene. It’s a simple set up but does give some information. None of the test photos have been edited or tweaked. A lens plays some part in the dynamic range received by the camera. I’ve…

  • Glass – 01. Canon 100mm F2.8 Macro | Overview

    You could say, best for first.. This is definitely the best lens I’ve ever bought or used. I bought it second hand, hence the scratch on the bottom, just below the Canon logo. With expensive lenses like these, it’s sometimes a good idea to buy used, because the previous owner is likely to take great…

  • Glass: Introduction

    Starting on the 4th of April, I will be beginning a blog series exploring all of my lenses (pictured). Each week will be dedicated to one of these lenses, starting with a photo of the lens with a brief description of its qualities and moving onto some comparisons and test shots, elaborating on the benefits and…
