| Carl Zeiss Lenses |
| Zeiss lenses: Nikon and Canon beat them by Jose Antunes "If the tests show that a $100 lens is better than a $700 Carl Zeiss model... which one will you buy? " |
| Carl Zeiss Compact Prime CP.2 for Nikon - PhotographyBLOG "From the 4th quarter of 2010, the Zeiss Compact Prime CP.2 cine lenses will be available for F-mount cameras. Developed primarily for shooting with video-enabled digital SLR cameras, the CP.2 lenses have a compact and robust build so that they can handle any demand on the film set." |

| Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 3.5/18 ZF review by Oleg Novikov "...is a great optic and its performance is perfectly in line with what one expects from Carl Zeiss. The only gripe that I have is that it is a relatively slow lens but, even so, still has very strong vignetting wide–open (but then again, many ultra wide angle lenses have this quality)." |
| Zeiss Distagon T 21mm f2.8 ZF.2 review by Oleg Novikov "The lens is a spectacular optic and easily one of the best performers across various brands at this focal length. Its only real drawback is very strong vignetting at f/2.8, but then again many ultra wide angle lenses have this quality." |
| The Zeiss 21mm f2.8 (on a Nikon D3) by Matt Beardsley "This is an elegant and very sturdy lens capable of the very best wide-angle imagery. It renders color, contrast, and sharp detail as good as anything I’ve experienced in the 35mm world. It displays noticeable distortion in the extreme corners, but is nearly perfect across the majority of the frame, a unique trait at the 21mm focal length." |

| The Zeiss 85mm f1.4 (on a Nikon D3) by Matt Beardsley "Perhaps we’ll see a future version of this brilliant 85mm that is fully operational and I think it will be my new favorite lens. I love the photos from the D3-Zeiss combo. I love that Zeiss has stepped up to fill obvious modern prime lens gaps in the Nikon line." |

| Sigma 50mm f1.4 HSM review (with some comparison to the Nikon 50mm f1.4) at British Journal of Photography |
| Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX DG HSM review by Thom Hogan "Final comments: this doesn't feel like one of Sigma's best efforts. Nowhere do they hit it out of the park with an attribute on this lens. It feels a bit old school in that respect: a prime where they paid some attention to the center but didn't really worry much about getting any of the other details optimized." |
| Sigma 50mm f1.4 DG HSM review at UsedNikon "Sigma has the finest 50mm auto focus prime on the market. It's not cheap at nearly 500.00, but this is a better lens than even Canon's 1.2 or Nikon's very good 50mm AF-S 1.4." |
| Sigma 50mm f1.4 lens review (with comparisons to the Nikon 50mm lenses) by the Mansurovs "Don’t waste your money on this lens – it is simply not worth the $500 Sigma is asking for. When compared to other 50mm lenses currently available on the market, the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 has the worst price-performance ratio. Even the much cheaper and lighter Nikon 50mm f/1.8G performs better in most tests in comparison." |

| Sigma 18-50mm f2.8-4.5 DC OS HSM review at ePhotozine "Overall, this lens isn't a bad performer and will suit those looking either for a replacement upgrade to their standard 18-55mm kit lens, or a solid starter lens that covers the standard focal ranges." |
| Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 EX DG HSM review at Photozone "On our FX test camera, the lens did not really show impressive performance, however on DX the results are a lot more solid and convincing." |

| Sigma 150-500mm f5-6.3 DG OS HSM review by Thom Hogan "There's good news and bad news here. First, let me state unequivocally that the 150-500mm at 500mm does not play in the realm of the Nikkor 500mm f/4. It's clearly softer, with less contrast, and has noticeably more chromatic aberration at 500mm. That, plus you'll be at f/8 to get its best results while the Nikkor 500mm f/4 is optically better two stops faster. You get what you pay for." |

| Bargain lenses for Nikon – Killer Tamron SP 17-35mm f/2.8-4 by Kim Brebach "You can pick all kinds of nits in elaborate test results, but Tamron produced a winner with this lens which it no longer manufactures. It can be bought used for less than $300 and for not much more new from a few remaining sources. It does everything Nikon’s 18-35 does, only better, and the build quality is in a different class." |

| Tamron 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 XR Di LD VC review at UsedNikon "On a D700 or D3 this lens is a smash. And it should be considering the 600 dollar price tag, which is pricey, especially for a 3rd party lens. The reward is a lens that will surprise most shooters with it's quality and versatility." |
| Tamron 55-200mm f4-5.6 LD Macro Di II review by Thom Hogan |
| Tamron SP 70-200mm f2.8 Macro review at ePhotozine "For the price, this lens represents excellent value for money, producing images with superb resolution at shorter focal lengths and good build quality, all in a relatively lightweight package." |
| My First Shoot with the Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 by Scott Kelby "Overall, I liked it. The lens feels surprisingly well built (especially for the money. Sometimes lenses in this price range can tend to have a ‘cheezy-plasticy’ feel, but this one didn’t at all), yet it also feels fairly lightweight, which I love." |
| Tamron AF 70-300mm f4-5.6 Di LD Macro review at ePhotozine "For a budget lens, the Tamron 70-300mm performs surprisingly well, producing images with excellent resolution at shorter focal lengths. The Macro feature is a useful addition, offering an introduction to close-up photography that should yield excellent results if used within its limitations." |
| Tamron SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DI VC USD by Kim Brebach "Summing up, the Tamron is a bargain in terms of performance, image quality and build. About as good as it can possibly get, I suspect, as long as you're prepared to forego thoughts like small and handy. A bonus is that this lens works with both DX (including D40/3000/5000) and FX Nikons so, if you trade up to a D700 in the future, you can keep this one." |

| Tamron SP AF 90mm f2.8 Di Macro review at ePhotozine "The Tamron 90mm Macro is a superb performer, producing high resolution images with bags of contrast and detail. For its price it represents excellent value for money." |
| Tamron 90 and 180mm Macro review at UsedNikon "Considering their range of use, these lenses are not cheap to buy, but they are wonderful tools. Having owned the 90 and now the 180, I'd suggest the 90 for DX cameras and the 180 for FX. Those wanting more working range would still prefer the 180mm on a DX camera. Or buy both. These are two stunning primes by any measure." |
| Tamron AF 180mm f/3.5 SP Di LD Macro review at Photozone |
| Tamron SP AF 180mm f/3.5 Di LD (IF) Macro review at ePhotozine "In testing, this lens has proved itself capable of excellent results especially when stopped down to f/5.6 or smaller. Those requiring the extra working distance this lens affords for their macro work will almost certainly be pleased with the performance of this lens, and at just over half the price of marque equivalents, it is definitely worthy of consideration." |

| Tokina AT-X 10-17mm f3.5-4.5 AF DX Fish-Eye review at ePhotozine "The lens produces good enough clarity at optimum apertures for most people's needs and feels like it is built to last. At £481 though, I can't help but feel the price is too close the the manufacturer's own and other third-party fisheye offerings to represent a clear-cut winner when it comes to value for money." |

It is priced keenly too, so may appeal to photographers after that extra bit of length who have to work to a budget." |

| Breakthrough Teleconverter for Consumer D-SLR Lenses by David Cardinal "Before I sing some of the praises of the new Kenko DGX converters I want to state a couple massive caveats up front. First and foremost, consumer and prosumer lenses aren’t built with the ultra-sharp optics required to get tack sharp images with a Teleconverter. So there is going to be some loss of sharpness with any Teleconverter for those lenses. But in many cases the tradeoff may be worth it if it is the only cost effective way you can reach the focal length you need." |

The Samyang 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC is capable of delivering a very high quality straight from f/1.4. The contrast level is a bit reduced at max. aperture. Stopping down boosts the contrast whereas the resolution improves to basically excellent results at medium aperture settings. It may be a surprising news but it matches the Nikkor AF-S 35mm f/1.4 G here." |
