Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM overview after the break.
Tamron announced two very interesting, and affordable, prime lenses with weather sealing and image stabilisation. Not bad if you consider that both lenses sell for $599. The new Tamron lenses can now be pre-ordered in the US.
CanonUSA on YouTube posted two short commercials to convince you to get original accessories, like printer cartridges (above) and batteries (below).
DxOMark published their lab results for the new Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens:
After revamping the original Mark I version with a noticeably lower build, including a plastic mount and no AF distance scale, the EF 50mm f/1.8 II model really didn’t add Canon anything to its reputation as a premium lens maker. It had one redeeming quality, though: its image quality was really very good. The new STM version doesn’t quite match the recently-updated Nikon AFS Nikkor 50mm f1/.8G in its aspirations or price (the Nikkor is available now for around $220); however, Canon has enhanced the look and feel and replaced the old micro-motor with a stepper type. Best of all, the image quality is practically identical and at $129, it remains a steal. Read the review.
Tamron announced two new prime lenses for full-frame DSLRs, SP 35mm f/1.8 Di VC USD and SP 45mm f/1.8 Di VC USD. Price is $599.
