Lens Reviews
Welcome to the review section of my website. What you'll find here is a series of field tests of mostly old, mostly affordable manual focus lenses attached to the Sony A7s, the Sony a6000, and as of 2017, the sony a6500.
The reviews below are organized chronologically, from newest to oldest. You can also browse by manufacturer in the Lens Index section.
If you're a video shooter, you might want to check out the Motion Studies page where you'll find short sample videos shot with some of the lenses.

December 2017
I just finished the Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar 50mm f1.8 MC review and am currently shooting with a Nikkor 105mm f2.5 ai and a Zuiko 24mm f2.8. I'm also planning a couple of shootouts. One between the Canon nFD 100mm f2 and the Nikkor 105mm f2.5 ai and another between the Carl Zeiss Jena Pencalor 50mm f1.8 and the Contax Zeiss 50mm f1.7. I should also get my hands on a Samyang/Rokinon 85mm f1.4 early in 2018. The following lenses should be reviewed soon:
Nikkor 105mm f2.5 Ai
Olympus Zuiko 24mm f2.8 MC
