Canon EOS Rebel / Rebel S 35mm Film SLR

Introduced in 1990, the Canon EOS Rebel is the first camera to have the Rebel branding. The Canon EOS Rebel S is the same camera, but with a built in flash.

Canon EOS Rebel XS Film Camera

There is a Canon EOS Rebel XS 35mm film SLR and digital DSLR with the same name. This is about the 35mm film camera released in 1993 and known as the EOS 500 in Europe and EOS Kiss in Japan.

M42 to Nikon F-Mount Adapter

If you want to adapt an M42 lens to Nikon be careful. With an F-mount camera, you can potentially cause damage with some M42 screw mount lenses.

All of the Problems with the Sony A7

Glaringly obvious problems exist with the Sony A7. Reading reviews from when the camera was released 5 years ago don’t mention any of the problems.

Nikon 28mm f/2.8 Series E Lens Review

The Nikon 28mm f/2.8 Series E lens is the widest of all the Series E lenses. Introduced as a budget lens, it still fills that role today. It has an AI-S mount so it will work on most Nikon cameras.

Nikon 50mm f/1.8 Series E Pancake Lens Review

The Nikon 50mm f/1.8 Series E has remained a popular lens for more than 40 years. It was originally designed as a budget lens, but became popular with professionals.

Inexpensive Motorized Focus Stacking Rail - WeMacro Rail Review

If you want macro images with a greater depth of field, you’re going to have to focus stack. Manually doing the process takes a long time.

Yashica 55mm f/2.8 ML Macro Lens Review

The Yashica 55mm f/2.8 ML macro lens is well constructed, sharp, and has little distortion. Compared to other vintage macro lenses, the only standout feature is that it is expensive.

Tamron SP Di 90mm f/2.8 Macro AF Lens Review

Used copies of the Tamron SP Di 90mm f/2.8 Macro lens have the best price/performance. The lens is sharp from f/5.6-f/11 with no chromatic aberration. Weighing 418g (14.7oz), the lens is the lightest macro lens I have reviewed in the 90-105mm focal length range. Working distance is comparable to 105mm lenses because the front element is recessed.

Sigma 50mm f/2.8 Macro Review

The Sigma 50mm f2.8 macro lens can be difficult to find. I think this is due, in part, to the poor build quality. It is surprising to find old manual focus Sigma lenses in good condition.
