Lens & Accessory Spring Sale

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.
Update February 23rd, 2025: removed sold items

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€.
Payment is possible via Paypal or Bank Transfer.

I will only ship insured with DHL. If you want to come to Stuttgart you can also check out the lens you are interested in in person and we have a little chat.

All the items come without warranty.

If you are interested, leave a comment with your Email address (it will not be visible to the public) and I will get back to you.


The following items are from my personal collection:


MS-Optics 57mm 2.0 Petz

This lens has only been used for the review and is in as-new condition. Comes with full retail packaging and accessories (as shown in the picture).

Rangefinder coupling is calibrated for f/2.0, infinity hard stop is also calibrated.

Nikon AF 14mm 2.8D via FTZ II on Nikon Zf

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.

Review: Samyang 135mm 1.8 AF FE

Samyang 135mm 1.8 AF on Sony A7rII

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.

Analogue Adventures – Part 38: Kodak Ektachrome 100 / 5294

Kodak Ektachrome 100

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.

With its huge front element the Sigma 105mm 1.4 DG HSM Art is one of the biggest and heaviest short tele lenses ever made. Is it actually worth carrying this massive lens around when there are significantly smaller and lighter 85/105mm f/1.4 lenses available? Let’s find out in this review!
