The new PC-E Nikkor 24mm f/3.5D ED wide-angle lens by Nikon is the latest in a series of lenses that offer a tilt/shift mechanism enabling the photographer the ability to manipulate perspective.

The Perspective Control lens gives users an 11.5mm shift in both directions and an 8.5-degree tilt in either direction. This mechanism can be especially useful when capturing tall objects such as trees and buildings and for...

Two new mounts from Mamiya will allow for the use of Hasselblad V-series medium-format lenses on its 645F series cameras. The Mamiya Lens Mount Adapters allow the 645AF, 645AFD and 645AFD II users to properly focus Hasselblad lenses by providing a precise flange-to-film plane distance.

To focus the lens, the shooter needs to focus with the lens wide open and then stop-down for...

Ideally matched for the EOS 40D SLR, the optically image-stabilized Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS features wide-angle to mid-range zoom and offers a significant advantage of a lens-shift image stabilization system that has up to four full stops of image-shake correction.

The high-performance lens is powered by Canon's lens-shift system, which is optimal in low light, long zoom or movement while shooting. Using the viewfinder, the shooter is able to see the image stabilization effect in action, allowing for more accurate framing...

p>Tamron has announced the release of a new high-powered lens, the AF28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR DI VC Aspherical (IF) Macro. Designed specifically for SLR cameras with full-size format, the lens comes with a vibration-compensation mechanism and covers everything from wide-angle to telephoto and macro.

The zoom lens offers anti-hand-shake blur reduction on SLR cameras using APS-C size or full-size format imagers. The lens covers a large focal-length range, from 28mm in wide angle to 300mm telephoto. If mounted on a DSLR with an APS-C sized imager, the lens has the capability of covering a 43mm wide angle to 465mm equivalent ultra telephoto - the ratio Tamron uses for conversion...

Tamron has introduced a new high-power lens with the world’s first 13.9x zoom. The AF18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 Di-II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro, with its compact and lightweight design, made exclusively for digital SLR cameras with APS-C sized imager sensors. The new lens has a telephoto effect that is obtainable with its 250mm focal-length feature.
The new lens allows for enhanced image quality with its expanded focal-length range of 18mm to 250mm...

Tamron has introduced three lightweight, compact lenses featuring optical systems designed to meet the performance characteristics of digital SLR cameras as well as film cameras. All three lenses contain multi-coating to reduce ghosting and flare.

The AF28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 XR Aspherical [IF] Macro (Model A031), a high-power zoom lens designed for both digital and film cameras. A 7x magnification power is now available when used with digital SLR cameras. The lens has a telephoto zoom range up to a 310mm equivalent on an interchangeable lens-type digital SLR camera, as well as 28mm wide-angle image capability on a conventional 35mm film SLR camera.

The AF70-300mm f/4-5.6 LD Macro 1:2 (Model A17), is a high-quality telephoto zoom lens with...

Canon has expanded its digital SLR lens offerings with new EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM and EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM lenses. The EF-S offers quality on par with Canon's L-series lenses. It has a large maximum aperture that, combined with higher shutter speeds, can minimize subject motion blur.

Shallow depth-of-field separation of a subject from its background is easier to achieve, and the f/2.8 maximum aperture allows more precise focusing with f/2.8-compatible AF sensors. The internal stabilization has a...

Tamron has released its AF55-200mm F/4-5.6 Di II Macro LD (Model A15), a new telephoto zoom designed for digital SLR cameras with image sensors smaller than 24mm by 16mm. The zoom covers the focal length range equivalent to 85-310mm when converted to a 35mm format. The lens will allow owners of digital SLRs fitted with standard zoom lenses to produce the pulling and compression effects particular to telephoto lenses.

Because the optical system is designed for digital cameras, the image circle is smaller. The new 55-200mm zoom lens has...
