Nikon has announced a z 50 Creators Kit for vloggers and movie-makers, built around its APS-C Z 50 mirrorless camera. The kit includes the camera, a Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lens, a Rode VideoMicro microphone, a Joby GorillaPod, and a SmallRi

1 HOUR Seen in close-up, the world reveals all kinds of hitherto unnoticed details, colours and textures. We can use an array of tricks to enhance these close-up details, and in this project we’ll explore a few of those options. For starters, we’ll e

A macro lens allows you to frame close-up subjects at 1:1 view, meaning the subject can be recorded at its actual size on the image sensor. They come in various focal lengths. At shorter focal lengths, like the 15mm used here, the subject has to be v

Some of us get obsessed with the sharpness of lenses, and how much infinitesimally fine detail they can resolve. But for soft and dreamy images, bokeh is more important. Bokeh is a measure of the pictorial quality of defocused areas within an image,

This Canon full-frame compatible 50mm prime is the least expensive lens in the group. Even so, it’s nicely made, and a big improvement over the previous edition of the lens. Enhancements include a more refined autofocus system based on a stepping mot

Canon seems to be on a mission to compensate for the relatively slimline bodies of its new mirrorless full-frame cameras by launching big, heavy lenses, and this 85mm f/1.2 is a prime example in every way – its price tag is pretty massive as well. Pr

Tailor-made for Fujifilm’s APS-C format X-mount camera bodies, this lens has an effective focal length of 84mm in full-frame terms, thanks to the 1.5x crop factor. Because depth of field is more dependent on actual rather than ‘effective’ focal lengt

This lens is designed for DX (APS-C) format DSLRs, on which it gives a natural viewing perspective, roughly equivalent to using a 50mm standard prime on a full-frame body. The f/1.8 rather than f/1.4 aperture rating, and the fact that the lens only n

Nikon’s 50mm f/1.8 standard prime has been reinvented for mirrorless full-frame cameras, taking full advantage of the Z mount’s larger diameter and its closer proximity to the image sensor. Despite ‘only’ having an f/1.8 rather than a f/1.4 aperture

For the ultimate in bokeh, look no further than the Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct. Sadly, however, few of us can afford to blow £8,300/$8,000 on a lens, however special it is, and the Z 85mm f/1.8 S is currently the next best thing, with a useful focal length

The Micro Four Thirds format really puts the ‘compact’ into compact system cameras and lenses, mostly thanks to them being based around a relatively small image sensor with a 2x crop factor. As such, this small 45mm f/1.8 lens has an effective focal

We’d always considered this Sigma to be abnormally large and weighty for an 85mm f/1.4 optic – but that was before the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2 came along. Despite having a narrower aperture rating, the Sigma is still slightly longer than the Canon lens,

In a bid to take bokeh to the max, Sigma has created a 105mm telephoto lens with a superfast f/1.4 aperture. Nikon also makes an AF-S 105mm f/1.4E ED lens, but in our tests we’ve found that the Sigma produces slightly better bokeh. It’s also consider

Sony’s G Master lenses have earned a solid reputation for overall performance and image quality, and for beautiful bokeh in particular. Typical of the breed, this 135mm f/1.8 prime utilises XA (eXtreme Aspherical), Super ED and regular ED elements in

Canon’s RF 85mm f/1.2L USM for its mirrorless EOS R-series cameras makes the very most of its telephoto focal length and super-fast f/1.2 aperture to deliver simply the best bokeh of any lens in the whole group. Bokeh just doesn’t get any better than
