Everyone talks about the size advantage of mirrorless cameras these days, but actually this is mainly limited to wide angle to normal lenses while there is hardly one when it comes to tele lenses. This Voigtländer 90mm 2.8 SL IIs Apo-Skopar is a good example for that, as it is really compact for a 90mm lens. But is it also a good perfomer? Let’s find out in this review.

Many of us here at the Phillipreeve team acquire too many lenses (and sometimes also accessories) and with some of the manufacturers it also isn’t easily possible to return the review samples after we reviewed them, therefore a bunch of stuff is for sale.

I will ship to all european countries and all prices are without shipping. If you live in Germany you can add 7.70€ for shipping, within EU should be around 17€.

The following items are from my personal collection:
Voigtländer VM 50mm 1.0 Nokton SOLD
Because of my acquisition of the Nikon Z 58mm 0.95 S Noct and my recent needs for AF lenses this doesn’t get as much use as is needed to keep it.

Released in 2000, the Nikon AF 14mm 2.8D is still the widest auto focus prime lens sold under the Nikon brand to this day. As some of the recent Z-mount lenses, this is also a rebranded Tamron lens though. The existing reviews didn’t paint a clear picture, so I decided to have a closer look at it myself.
I wasn’t a big fan of most of Samyang’s earlier lenses, especially not their early autofocus lenses. Their latest lenses have shown significant improvements over the earlier ones though and this Samyang 135mm 1.8 AF FE even features a unique selling point: it is the lightest 135mm 1.8 lens ever made. And not only that, it is currently also the cheapest option. Do cheap and lightweight go together with good here? Let’s find out in this review.
So far I have only been talking about color-negative film here, so this Kodak Ektachrome 100 was actually the first slide film I exposed. If you don’t know what the differences between color-negative and slide film are, you can have a look here first.
Processing (E-6) and scanning (Noritsu) was done at urbanfilmlab in Germany. Pictures you see in this article are from one roll of Ektachrome 100 and a sixth of a roll of 5294 E100.
