Zeiss 50/1.4 SSM conclusion.
The Sony CZ 50/1.4 review is finished! I spent a lot of time with the conclusion; going over full sized images from the Sigma and Sony 50/1.4 reviews, and trying to extrapolate the differences with the Zeiss. In some cases I photographed the same subjects from the reviews, but the light is never quite the…Sony Carl Zeiss 50/1.4 SSM review posted…
…but it’s not quite finished. I have the conclusion to do yet, plus I want to take it out one or two more times for some follow-up testing and some possible comps—not sure yet though. The additional material will not effect the overall review, so feel free to come to your own…New toys to play with.
Recent arrivals for review are the Sony Zeiss 50/1.4 SSM, Zeiss Touit 32mm F/1.8, and Zeiss Touit 12mm F/2.8.

I bought one of these Sirui T-025X carbon fibre tripods for hiking because it comes in a less than 2lbs, (.85kg) with head! Plus, it’s almost full height, extending to 54.5″ (139cm).

Sony updates RX1 and RX100.
Sony decides to update the RX1 just as I’m about to review it. Oh well, scrap one RX1 review, so on to new things, like the new Sony RX100 V2. This looks like a possible Canon G1X killer, at least at low ISOs. The must’ve heard me everyone complaining about the lack of…Sigma 60mm F/2.8 DN lens review.
The Sigma 60/2.8 for NEX review is ready, go here for all the details and crops. If you’re looking for a very sharp, but inexpensive lens for landscapes, portraits, or panorama stitching, this is it!! The performance of the Sigma 60/2.8 is very similar to the Sigma 19/2.8 that I like so…
