A picture of the upcoming Samyang 16mm f/2.0 lens has been unveiled on Facebook, along with some specs. Among other mount types there will be a version for Canon EF and M mounts.
[via Fujirumors]The 16mm focus length with rectilinear imaging system ensure extra wide angle of view amounting to 83.1 degrees (for Nikon version and 79.5 for Canon). The big aperture opening of F2.0 ensure photographers able to use it for low light environment like night street shooting. The weight of the lens is just about 571g, as a result this lens will be a attractive carry on for architecture and landscape shooting.
Canon EOS 50D raw video test – ISO 12.800 (H2) from Julian Huijbregts on Vimeo.
I have extensively reported about the Magic Lantern RAW Hack for the Canon EOS 5D Mark III. You should know that you can have RAW video output also on the 5 year old Canon EOS 50D. As most of you probably know, the EOS 50D was the last semiprofessional DSLR in the xxD series. The EOS 60D that followed was more “Rebel inspired” than the 50D and the 40D.
The video above is amazing. You may also want to check sample images here. Will the Canon EOS 50D get a new life with the hack? First of all, check the price here on eBay.
The Canon EOS 50D is still kicking, read here why.

It was a matter of time before someone would replicate Metabones’ idea and make it cheaper. Mitakon is now selling their first Lens Turbo Adapter with a 0.72x focal reduction (i.e. you get full-frame on a crop sensor). There is a Lens Turbo for Canon FD lenses and Sony’s NEX cameras. It works exactly like the Speed Booster adapter from Metabones at a fraction of the price. So, if you have some old glorious FD-mount lenses laying around and own a Sony NEX this is for you. There are . The official press release can be read at Mitakon’s website.
If you want o automatically get notified when new Lens Turbo will be on sale on eBay just create a Slidoo account and save this search.

If you happen to love 35mm lenses this review is for you. The Phoblographer compared the Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG, the Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS and the Canon 35mm f1.4 L lenses (using a Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

While the EF 35mm f/2 IS is the fastest focusing lens, the Sigma 35mm gets high appraisal (as in other reviews), not least for the build quality. Check the sample images for image quality. In the conclusion they write:
In our tests, we found Sigma’s lens to be best for what it is worth. Not only does it exhibit excellent image quality, but it also focuses fast enough and has a metal exterior. However, we have to say that the 35mm f2 IS seems like a better buy than the 35mm f1.4 L at the moment. The added value of IS plus a smaller package really make this lens worth the money. Where the 35mm f1.4 L takes the lead though is in bokeh rendering. It really is quite marvelous–especially when photographing a couple at a wedding.
