Lenses

Photography lens reviews – In this section of the website, you will find reviews of lenses for all sorts of different mounts. It is often the case that lenses can only easily be used on the cameras they were designed for, so whilst reading through the reviews here, it is worth making sure any lens you might like the look of is compatible with your camera.

That being said, this is not always the case, and in sometimes lenses can be adapted or even hacked to fit on different cameras. This has become increasingly popular in recent years with some digital cameras offering a great platform for adapting some of the lenses listed below.

You can read more about lens adapting and modifications here

As with all the content on this website, if you find something of interest, you can find more similar products by clicking on the tags you will find at the bottom of the reviews.
