Lenstips published its full review of the Voigtlander Ultron 27mm f/2 which you can read here or check out the excerpt below:

Pros:

  • small, shapely, very solid barrel made entirely of metal,
  • excellent image quality in the frame centre,
  • imperceptible longitudinal chromatic aberration,
  • slight lateral chromatic aberration,
  • lack of any serious problems with spherical aberration,
  • practically zero distortion,
  • slight astigmatism,
  • sensibly-looking out-of-focus areas,
  • decent performance against bright light.

Cons:

  • weak image quality on the edge of the frame near the maximum relative aperture,
  • very high coma,
  • distinct vignetting,
  • significant focus breathing.

This lens will primarily satisfy Voigtlander fans who want a small compact high-quality lens that accepts compact lenses come with compromises.

Last Ankler PowerCore 26800PD Discount

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 14, 2024


I purchased the PowerCore+26800 PD the first time it went on sale and it is by far the best of my 20+ battery banks. I rarely if ever can drain it below 50% and it is quite compact for how much charge it holds. You can even hook it to your Mac Book Pro if you are desperate for a little more battery life. These are probably some of the last Ankler PowerCore 26800PD we will see since this was one of the first few power delivery power banks on the market when Fujifilm made its compatibility list and details which I have reproduced below: Read More »

Fujifilm Created On Of The Best Kit Lenses Of All Time

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 13, 2024

Chris and Jordan at Petapixel created a list of the greatest kit lenses of all time and it should surprise no one that the Fujinon 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS is on the list. It is rumored that this lens will be replaced with a Fujinon XF16-50mm F2.8-4.8 R LM WR.

  1. Canon 24-105 f/4 L
  2. Fujinon 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS – I actually have two Fujinon 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS and both are fantastic lenses that are great for beginners or users who do not want to carry more than one lens.
  3. Panasonic 12-60mm f/2.8-4
  4. Nikor 24-70mm f/4 S
  5. Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 – this was one of my first mirrorless lenses and it was a great kit lens paired with the Panasonic GF1 and I still miss having this combo.

It is not a bad list, but I am kind of surprised more m43 kit lenses weren’t on the list, because when m43 came to market most of the kit lens options were pretty great because they help sell users on the system.
