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

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

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…
