<p><strong>Photozone reviews the Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM and writes:</strong><br />
<em>“The EF 400mm f/5.6 USM L is a very good to excellent lens in all aspects and optically a somewhat superior to the current (locally tested) 400mm alternatives – at least compared to those that are affordable for mortals. So if you can live without IS and search for a very long tele lens for wildlife or sports photography you should have a deeper look at this lens. “</em><br />

<p><strong>The-digital-picture reviews the Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM and writes:</strong><br />
<em>“CA (Chromatic Aberration) is very well controlled. Color, saturation and contrast are excellent. Bokeh (background blur quality) is very nice thanks in part to an 8-blade aperture. Vignetting is very well controlled. Very minor pincushion distortion is present, but it will not be noticed in most (if any) of your images.”</em><br />

<p><strong>SLRLensreview reviews the Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM and writes:</strong><br />
<em>“Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM is an excellent long telephoto prime that should be considered by anyone with a limited (relatively speaking) budget. The lens offers very solid image quality and excellent build quality, with good handling of various artifacts, including flare, vignetting and color fringing, all at a more or less affordable price.”</em><br />

<p><strong>Luminous-landscape reviews the Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM and writes:</strong><br />
<em>“This lens fits in even my smallest and lightest travel kit, and I have confidence when using it wide open that it’s going to give me excellent performance. Sure, I’d like it to be an f/4, but the extra weight and bulk wouldn’t be welcome. Because I now shoot digital almost exclusively, rather than film, I can bump up the ISO one notch and still get excellent quality, making the relatively slow f/5.6 aperture acceptable.”</em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leica has announced the Summarit-S 35mm f/2.5 ASPH lens for its S2 professional DSLR. The first wide angle lens designed for its S system offers a 28mm equivalent field of view. It joins the existing 70mm f/2.5 ASPH and 180mm f/2.5 lenses. Leica says it will available from May 2010 at a suggested retail price of £3,780 GBP.</p>
<blockquote>
<h2>Press Release:</h2>
<p><strong>11 May 2010:</strong> Leica Camera AG has expanded its range of lenses for the Leica S-System with the launch of the LEICA SUMMARIT-S 35mm f/2.5 ASPH. Following the LEICA SUMMARIT-S 70 mm f/2.5 ASPH. and the LEICA APO ELMAR-S 180mm f/2.5 lenses, which have been available since the camera’s launch, the Summarit-S 35mm f/2.5 ASPH. is the first fast wide-angle lens available for the Leica S-System. The lens will be available in the UK from authorised Leica S2 dealers in May 2010.</p>
<p>The focal length of the LEICA SUMMARIT-S 35mm f/2.5 ASPH. delivers an angle of view equivalent to a 28mm lens for 35 mm photography (crop factor 0.8). With a maximum aperture of 1:2.5, it offers a significantly higher speed than other lenses available in the medium format segment, and provides superior imaging quality at all apertures from its closest focus setting to infinity.</p>
<p>The LEICA SUMMARIT-S 35mm f/2.5 ASPH. satisfies the needs of landscape and architectural photographers, and is also ideal for use in the studio or out on reportage assignments. The extreme maximum aperture of the lens enables photographers to use selective focus, and is particularly effective for creative photography.</p>
<p>Absolute dedication to the highest imaging quality is a key factor in the design and construction of all Leica S lenses, which are built from specially formulated glass. Extremely narrow tolerances in the manufacturing process of all S-System lenses guarantee the highest performance, while vignetting, distortion and chromatic aberration are reduced to a minimum.</p>
<p>The LEICA SUMMARIT-S 35mm f/2.5 ASPH.’s sophisticated construction with eleven elements in nine groups (incorporating two aspherical lens surfaces and five special glasses with anomalous partial dispersion) and rear group focusing ensure consistently high imaging quality from infinity to a minimum focusing distance of 55 centimetres. The lens demonstrates outstanding performance at maximum aperture, outstanding contrast in even the finest structures and excellent reproduction of details across the entire image field.</p>
<p>As with all Leica S-System products, the LEICA SUMMARIT-S 35mm f/2.5 ASPH. is tough and built to last a lifetime. The lens is equipped with a robust bayonet mount and offers maximum protection against dust and water spray, ensuring absolute reliability even under the harshest conditions.</p>
<p>The suggested UK retail price of the LEICA SUMMARIT-S 35mm f/2.5 ASPH. is £3,780 including VAT.</p></blockquote>

<h2><a href="http://photoguru.com.au//wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Ricoh_P10_28_300_mm_F3_5_5_6_VC_Lens.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5512" title="Ricoh_P10_28_300_mm_F3_5_5_6_VC_Lens" src="http://photoguru.com.au//wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Ricoh_P10_28_300_mm_F3_5_5_6_VC_Lens.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" /></a>Press Release:</h2>
<p><strong>Tokyo, Japan, May 7, 2010</strong>—Ricoh Co., Ltd. (president and CEO: Shiro Kondo) today announced the development and release of the new GXR camera unit RICOH LENS P10 28-300 mm F3.5-5.6 VC<strong><span style="color: #888888;">*1</span></strong>.</p>
<p>Featuring a high-magnification 10.7x (28-300 mm) optical wide-angle zoom and high-speed continuous shooting of RAW still images at about 5 frames/second<strong><span style="color: #888888;">*2</span></strong>, this camera unit has a back-illuminated CMOS sensor and an advanced noise reduction function.</p>
<p>Image processing engine Smooth Imaging Engine IV and the high-speed image processing capabilities of the CMOS sensor combine to enhance image quality and expand dynamic range. The 10.7x optical zoom expands image-creation possibilities from wide-angle through telephoto.</p>
<p>The RAW mode high-speed continuous shooting at about 5 frames/second enables the photographer to catch the desired scene. And the noise reduction function and back-illuminated CMOS sensor together give high imaging performance in low-light shooting.</p>
<p>Also included are a 1280 x 720 pixel HD movie function, the dynamic range double shot mode function, a macro function capable of close-up shooting at 1 cm, and many other enhanced functions for diverse and effortless enjoyment of shooting from 28 mm wide-angle to 300 mm telephoto.</p>
<p>For this model, there are two package types available. The product name &#8220;RICOH LENS P10 28-300 mm F3.5-5.6 VC&#8221; refers to just the camera unit by itself. Product name &#8220;GXR+P10 KIT&#8221; refers to the GXR body and the RICOH LENS P10 28-300 mm F3.5-5.6 VC camera unit packaged together.</p>
<h2>Main features:</h2>
<p><strong>This GXR camera unit has a 10.7x optical zoom (28-300 mm) that enables the photographer to shoot at will from wide-angle to telephoto.</strong></p>
<p>- With 28 mm wide-angle to 300 mm telephoto coverage, this high-magnification zoom lens can handle a wide range of shooting situations, including powerful telephoto shots as well as wide-angle shooting of both expansive landscapes and interior scenes with limited distance between camera and subject.<br />
- There is also a zoom function for changing to high-speed zoom when the photographer continues to push the zoom lever.</p>
<p><strong>Get the shot you want with high-speed continuous shooting functions capable of high image quality</strong></p>
<p>- High-speed continuous shooting functions have been improved. It is now possible to do high-speed continuous shooting in RAW mode at a rate of up to about 5 frames/second<strong><span style="color: #888888;">*3</span></strong>.<br />
- The M-continuous plus shooting function saves consecutive images shot before the finger is removed from the shutter release button. To fit the scene being photographed, you can select from two modes: M-Continuous Plus (Low)<strong><span style="color: #888888;">*4</span></strong> for 15 images taken in as little as three seconds and M-Continuous Plus (Hi)<strong><span style="color: #888888;">*5</span></strong> for 26 images taken in about 0.9 seconds.<br />
- Ultra-high-speed continuous shooting is possible with shooting of 120 images (120 frames/sec.) during an interval of about one second after the shutter release button is pushed or 120 images (60 frames/sec.) during an interval of about two seconds. Image size is fixed at 640 × 480 VGA. The consecutively shot images are recorded as a single MP file (a file format with multiple still images in a single file).</p>
<p><strong>A back-illuminated CMOS sensor strong in low-light scenes and a powerful noise reduction function</strong><br />
Performing noise reduction processing on the signal immediately after it is output by the back-illuminated CMOS sensor makes it possible to reduce noise while maintaining resolution, tone characteristics, and saturation.</p>
<p>The noise reduction level can be specified as Off, Weak, Strong, or MAX. By specifying MAX, it is possible to do sophisticated variance-estimation type noise reduction processing in which the sensor image data&#8217;s noise variance is analyzed and the optimum processing is done for each region.</p>
<p>- Residing on a customized circuit of the image processing engine, the pixel output interpolation algorithm reduces whiteout in high-contrast situations, thereby recreating beauty as seen.<br />
- Dynamic range double shot mode makes it possible to record images with an almost naked-eye impression. Enjoy the possibilities created by a dynamic range expansion effect equivalent to up to 12EV.<br />
- Multi-pattern auto white balance makes it possible to recreate natural as-seen colors even in people-photography scenes that were difficult to shoot with past auto white balance functions, such as scenes with both shadow and sunlight and scenes mixing flash and natural light (or fluorescent light, etc.).</p>
<p><strong>A wide range of functions</strong><br />
- It is now possible to shoot 1280 × 720 pixel HD movies.<br />
- With the macro photography functions you can get as close to the subject as 1 cm for wide angle<strong><span style="color: #888888;">*6</span></strong> and 27 cm for telephoto.</p>
<p>Note: When shooting movies of 1280 × 720 size, the use of an SD/SDHC memory card with an SD speed class of Class 6 or higher is recommended.</p>
<p><strong>Special features common to GXR camera units</strong><br />
- The automatic exposure modes include program shift mode, shutter priority mode, and aperture priority<strong><span style="color: #888888;">*7</span></strong> mode.<br />
- Picture settings can be customized with nine setting levels for easy creation of a diverse range of images.<br />
- ISO3200 facilitates shooting in low light conditions.<br />
- The Pre-AF function accelerates focusing speed by adjusting the focus to match subject movement.<br />
- The full press snap function shoots at a preset distance for a one-push full-press of the shutter-release button.<br />
- When shooting subjects up close, the camera automatically switches to macro mode so macro photography can now be enjoyed without having to worry about switching modes.(Auto macro setting)</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #888888;">*1</span></strong> The &#8220;VC&#8221; designation indicates that this unit has the Vibration Correction function developed independently by Ricoh.<br />
<span style="color: #888888;"><span style="color: #888888;"><strong>*2</strong></span> </span>The maximum number of images for continuous shooting in RAW mode is five.<br />
<span style="color: #888888;">*<strong>3</strong></span> Continuous shooting speed will vary depending on shooting conditions, card type, card condition, etc.<br />
<span style="color: #888888;"><strong>*4</strong></span> M-Continuous Plus (Low) image size is fixed at 10M 4:3N.<br />
<span style="color: #888888;"><strong>*5</strong></span> M-Continuous Plus (Hi) image size is fixed at 2M 4:3N. The consecutively shot images are recorded as a single MP file (a file format with multiple still images in a single file).<br />
<span style="color: #888888;"><strong>*6 </strong></span>Equivalent to 31 mm focal length for 35 mm cameras<br />
<span style="color: #888888;"><strong>*7</strong></span> ND filter used for aperture priority mode.</p>

<h2><a href="http://photoguru.com.au//wp-content/uploads/2010/04/AF_S_Nikkor_200_400mm_f_4_ED_VR_II.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5372" title="AF_S_Nikkor_200_400mm_f_4_ED_VR_II" src="http://photoguru.com.au//wp-content/uploads/2010/04/AF_S_Nikkor_200_400mm_f_4_ED_VR_II.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="390" /></a>Press release:</h2>
<p><strong>Amsterdam, The Netherlands, April 27th 2010</strong> – Nikon Europe today announces a new super telephoto zoom lens – the AF-S NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G ED VR II.  This lens replaces the highly acclaimed AF-S Zoom NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G IF-ED VR and features the new generation of Vibration Reduction technology (VR II), Nano Crystal Coat and a new A/M mode, making it an ideal, versatile choice for sports and wildlife photographers. This type of super telephoto zoom lens remains unique on the market and reflects Nikon&#8217;s continued dedication to innovation and quality in the industry.</p>
<p>The evolution of this lens reflects Nikon&#8217;s commitment to developing a range of products tailored to photographers&#8217; needs, and it strengthens the line-up of high-performance NIKKOR lenses.</p>
<p>Zurab Kiknadze, Product Manager Lenses, Accessories &amp; Software, Nikon Europe says: ”Rapid advancements in optical technology and Nikon&#8217;s continued dedication to provide class-leading products have resulted in recent updates of pro grade lenses.

<p><strong>Sharper images with improved handling<br />
</strong><br />
The AF-S NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G ED VR II features second generation built in Vibration Reduction (VRII), providing the ability to shoot at shutter speeds up to four stops slower so sharper images can be achieved when using the camera for hand-held shooting.</p>
<p>In addition, the new A/M mode added to existing M/A and M modes enables autofocus priority even if the focus ring is being handled during shooting.</p>
<p><strong>Reduced ghosting and flare<br />
</strong><br />
The AF-S NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G ED VR II now incorporates Nikon&#8217;s exclusive anti-reflection Nano Crystal coat, which drastically reduces ghosting and flare, along with four ED glass elements to minimise internal reflections and aberrations. This delivers rich, high contrast images even under testing lighting conditions.</p>
<p>This lens features an autofocus with a built-in silent wave motor to ensure fast and quiet focusing. The AF-S NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G ED VR II has a tough magnesium body, incorporating weather and dust sealing and lens protective glass, to withstand the effects of dust and moisture in the toughest of shooting conditions.</p>
<p>Weighing in at only 3,360g, while providing great flexibility in telephoto shooting, this new lens is a practical alternative to carrying several large telephoto lenses. The lens is supplied with a high quality Ballistic, backpack style carry case, allowing for easy and safe transportation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: #888888;">The Canon Extender EF 2x II doubles the focal length of lenses it&#8217;s mounted to, and reduces its f stop aperture by 2 stops. All of these improvements in the Canon EF 2x II will allow professional photographers to capture higher quality images than ever before.</span></h2>
<p><a href="http://photoguru.com.au//wp-content/uploads/2010/04/canon_extender_ef_2x_ll.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5216" title="canon_extender_ef_2x_ll" src="http://photoguru.com.au//wp-content/uploads/2010/04/canon_extender_ef_2x_ll.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="480" /></a>This Extender has been re-designed optically and offers excellent performance with compatible EF lenses. The Canon EF 2x II features a new seven-element design, and same weather-resistant design and anti-reflection internal construction as the new EF 1.4x II. The EF 2x II doubles the focal length of any lens it&#8217;s mounted to, and reduces its effective aperture by two stops. With Canon EF 2x II, AF is possible with any EOS body if the lens has an f/2.8 or faster maximum aperture, and compatible Image Stabilization lenses maintain the IS feature when used with any current EOS camera.</p>
<p>Canon EF Extenders are the ideal accessories for photographers who wish to increase the power and versatility of their existing lenses. EF Extenders work by increasing the distance between the film plane (or CCD) and the rear element of the lens. The extra distance increases the effective focal length of the lens to bring distant subjects closer. Canon EF Extenders 2x II are specially designed for many of Canon&#8217;s large aperture EF lenses and retain all metering and AF functions with most of these.</p>

<p>The Canon EF 2x II extender is an easy and very affordable way to dramatically extend the focal length of compatible canon L series lenses. The Canon EF 2x II Extender mounts between the compatible lens and body then multiplies the focal length settings of lens by 2. A canon EF 300mm f/2.8 L IS lens becomes a 600mm f/5.6 IS lens.</p>
<p>The canon EF 2x II Extender is relatively small and light. It is weather sealed when used with similarly-sealed lenses and camera bodies. This extender has been re-designed optically and offers excellent performance with compatible EF lenses.</p>

All of the features of the bigger Canon EF 70-200 f/4L IS USM lens are present here as well, including ultra-low dispersion glass, internal focus and fulltime manual focusing override.</span></h2>
<p><strong><a href="http://photoguru.com.au//wp-content/uploads/2010/04/canon_ef_70_200mm_f4_l_is_usm.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5206" title="canon_ef_70_200mm_f4_l_is_usm" src="http://photoguru.com.au//wp-content/uploads/2010/04/canon_ef_70_200mm_f4_l_is_usm.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" /></a>Image Stabilizer</strong><br />
4 step Image Stabilizer (IS) extends low light options to previously unimaginable levels. Photographers normally shooting handheld at 1/250 sec can switch on IS to obtain a similarly steady and blur-free result with a shutter speed of just 1/15 second.</p>
<p>IS reduces dramatically the image blur caused by camera shake. Gyro sensors detect unwanted vibrations, triggering the corresponding movement of a correcting lens group perpendicular to the optical axis. This alters the light path, returning the image to its correct position on the sensor or film plane.</p>
<p>For shooting immobile subjects, Mode 1 corrects for movement in the image along both the horizontal and vertical axes. For shooting while panning horizontally to follow a moving subject, Mode 2 turns off vertical correction and prevents the effect of dragging the subject back through the frame.</p>
<p>IS switches off automatically when the camera is mounted on a tripod, thus preventing feedback loops between the IS sensor and internal motor vibrations.</p>

<p><strong>Superb auto-focus</strong><br />
The lens’ Ring-type USM employs ultra-sonic frequency vibrations to drive auto focus with unrivalled speed and near-silent operation. A powerful CPU and improved AF algorithm contribute to speed performance. Good holding torque stops the lens with precision and accuracy, the instant it arrives at the correct focus point and without overshoot. Photographers can switch to manual focus instantly and at any time simply by moving the manual focus ring without first having to switch out of auto focus mode.</p>
<p><strong>f/4 from 70 to 200mm</strong><br />
The EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM offers the highest possible optical quality with no change in aperture over the full focal range of the lens. This allows photographers to set exposure at the widest aperture and zoom all the way through to 200mm without having to decrease shutter speed. Lens length does not alter during zooming and the front lens element does not rotate during zooming or focusing. The lens employs an almost perfectly circular barrel aperture, helping create attractive, even background blur.</p>
<p><strong>Image quality</strong><br />
A newly designed optical system limits lens size and improves image clarity over the total image area. 1 x Fluorite element and 2 x Ultra-Low Dispersion glass elements are used to eliminate the secondary chromatic aberrations that otherwise reduce sharpness and introduce colour fringing. By optimising Super Spectra lens coatings and lens element shaping, Canon’s engineers have been effective in suppressing flare and ghosting – more prone to occur with digital cameras due to reflection off the image sensor. By increasing light absorption, coatings reduce reflections off lens element surfaces to deliver crisp, undistorted images with natural colour balance.</p>
<p><strong>EOS system integration</strong><br />
The EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM includes distance metering information, providing compatibility with the E-TTL II flash system of late model cameras such as the EOS-1D Mark II, EOS-1Ds Mark II, EOS 5D and EOS 400D. When used in conjunction with Canon’s range of EX Speedlite flash units, the lens passes distance information to the flash algorithm for markedly improved flash exposure metering. To match the weather resistance afforded by EOS-1 pro camera bodies, an O-ring seals the lens against the lens mount to prevent the ingress of dust and moisture.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: #888888;">Weighting just 295g and measuring about 71.5 x 85 mm, the Sony DT 55-200mm f/4-5.6 lens seems to very handy in convenient to use. The Sony DT 55-200mm is a compact, lightweight lens that offers versatile telephoto zoom.</span></h2>
<p><a href="http://photoguru.com.au//wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Sony_DT_55_200mm_f_4_5_6_Lens1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5124" title="Sony_DT_55_200mm_f_4_5_6_Lens" src="http://photoguru.com.au//wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Sony_DT_55_200mm_f_4_5_6_Lens1.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="727" /></a>The Sony DT 55-200mm f/4-5.6 lens is specially designed for the APS-size CCD imager of the Sony Alpha cameras. With a 35mm-equivalent range of 82.5mm to 300mm, the Sony DT 55-200mm is perfect for capturing faraway objects, outdoor performances, complex scenery and crisp close-ups.</p>
<p>The superb multi-purpose Sony DT 55-200mm f/4-5.6 telephoto zoom lens is an excellent all-around value, covering the medium to long-distance telephoto range you will use most. It also provides close minimum focusing distance of about 3 feet (.95m), for tight shots of people, natural subjects and close-up details. Its compact, lightweight design makes it easy to carry as your standard or accessory lens &#8211; and all your shots will benefit from the Sony Super SteadyShot image stabilization system built into every Sony α system DSLR. (35mm equivalent: 82.5-300mm).<br />
A major reason for its compact, lightweight design is the benefit of Super SteadyShot in-camera image stabilization, built into every Sony &amp; 945 system DSLR &#8211; and enabling accessory lenses to eliminate the extra weight and expense of in-lens stabilization mechanisms.</p>
<p>The Sony DT 55-200mm f/4-5.6 lens is specially designed for the APS-size CCD imager used in Sony &amp; 945 (alpha) DSLR cameras. APS-size sensors are smaller than a 35mm-format film frame, so the focal distance to cover the same field of view can be about 2/3 shorter &#8211; allowing a more compact lens design.</p>
<blockquote><p>Digital camera world sells the Sony DT 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Lens Super cheap cameras sell the Sony DT 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Lens JR camera house sales the <a href="http://jrcamerahouse.com.au/sony-dt-55200mm-f456-lens-p-1472.html">Sony DT 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Lens</a> BK camera house sales the Sony DT 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Lens Gerry Gibbs camerahouse sell the Sony DT 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Lens Mandurah camera house sell the Sony DT 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Lens</p></blockquote>
<p>With the ability to focus as closely as 3 feet (.95m), this telephoto lens also lets you move in for dramatic shots of people, natural subjects and close-up details.</p>
<p>The Sony DT 55-200mm is designed with 13 lens elements in 9 groups, with precision focusing performance and smooth zoom operation.</p>
<p>Because light of different wavelength (or color) bends at different angles when it passes through a lens, ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass is used to eliminate chromatic aberration by correcting certain wavelengths of light for sharp, clear images with well defined colors.</p>

It also offers an internal focusing system provides fast responsive auto-focusing without affecting the balance of the camera.</p>
<p><strong>Sophisticated Multi-Element Design</strong><br />
16 lens elements in 13 groups correct visual aberrations across the entire zoom range and help reduce weight.</p>
<p><strong>ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass</strong><br />
ED Glass lens elements minimize flare and greatly reduce chromatic aberration, giving you sharp, clear shots even at full telephoto extension.</p>

<p><strong>Circular Aperture</strong><br />
Because aperture blades form a near circle at the wide openings used for low-light shots, spot-light sources have a pleasing circular defocused effect.</p>
<p><strong>Advisory when using DT lenses with full-frame (35mm equivalent) DSLR cameras.</strong><br />
Sony α (alpha) lenses with the Digital Technology (DT) designation are ideal for use on APS-C size DSLR cameras and are not recommended for use with full frame DSLR camera bodies (such as the DSLR-A900). Although DT lenses can be used with full frame cameras, they can only realize a maximum of 11MP image size (when using the DSLR-A900), and are not guaranteed to provide accurate Auto Exposure performance.</p>
