1. Viltrox XF AF 75mm F1.2
2. Tamron AF 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD, Sony E
World's first travel zoom lens with F/2.8 speed for mirrorless full format cameras
This premiere marks the beginning of a new era in the history of travel zoom lenses: the 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 is the first lens in this class to offer the high speed of F/2.8 at a 28mm wide-angle setting, and the widest possible aperture is F/3.5 at 50mm focal length, F/4.5 at 100mm and F/5.6 from 150mm to 200mm. This makes the very compact 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 an extraordinarily versatile photo lens that is recommended for a wide range of shooting situations.
All lenses of the Tamron E-Mount series for mirrorless full format cameras are characterized by their optical and technical performance as well as their high ease of use. In addition to a uniform filter size (67 mm), the developers paid particular attention to the compact housing design and low weight when designing the 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6. The new travel zoom lens, for example, is only 117 mm long and weighs just 575g, while the housing diameter is remarkably small at 74 mm. These key data make the new zoom lens the ideal companion for a carefree photo tour.
The optical design of the new travel zoom lens consists of 18 elements in 14 groups, including several special lenses such as GM (Glass Molded Aspherical), XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) elements and hybrid aspheres that minimize optical aberrations and enable high resolution. The lens surfaces are coated with Tamron's BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) coating, whose anti-reflection properties reduce disturbing ghost images and aperture spots, ensuring sharp and brilliant images. It also supports in-camera distortion and vignetting correction, ensuring consistently high image quality right up to the edges, regardless of the selected focal length.
In developing its travel zoom lenses, Tamron has always focused on setting new standards in image quality in this class. The 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 is no exception and is therefore suitable for spontaneous snapshots as well as for sophisticated photo shots.
For a travel zoom lens, the 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 has exceptional close-up capabilities. The 28mm wide angle allows you to focus on the subject from a distance of just 0.19m, giving you a maximum magnification of 1:3.1. The background can be beautifully blurred thanks to the large aperture of F/2.8. When shooting with the 200 mm telephoto lens, the shortest focusing distance is 0.80 m, which corresponds to a scale of 1:3.8. The user can thus create impressively composed close-ups at any focal length.
The autofocus system has a sensor that determines the current focus setting of the lens and an RXD stepper motor (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive). Both ensure fast and precise automatic focusing, so that the focus can be continuously adjusted even with dynamic objects. The autofocus works so quietly that practically no disturbing focusing noise is recorded during video recording. The compact RXD technology also contributes significantly to the compactness of the 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6.
3. Nikon Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.8 S
Dancing in the light. The outstanding imaging performance of this NIKKOR-Z lens from the S series sets new standards for 1.8 mm full-frame lenses. With its sharpness of detail and brightness right into the corners, it even leaves behind previous 1.4 fixed focal lengths.1 This is more than a new 50mm object. This is a new future for incredible photography. The Z bayonet mount with its exceptionally large diameter allows your NIKKOR-Z lenses to direct more light into any angle of the field of view. In combination with the small back focal distance, i.e. the distance between the bayonet connection and the image sensor, this ensures a visible minimization of the light fall-off from the center of the image to the edges. The result is a new potential for details and fine nuances - everywhere in the picture. The NIKKOR Z 50 mm 1:1.8 S offers outstanding quality in available-light photography. This, its natural perspective and its razor-sharp focus from just 0.4 meters enable a completely free, intuitive way of working. Use the surroundings of your subject to give it a frame. Or they choose a shorter distance for a detailed portrait with head and shoulders. Lifelike. Open for light. Both the superior resolution of this lens and its brightness (thanks to the elaborate reduction of vignetting) extend into the corners of the image field. This ensures that every detail of your subject is reproduced with perfect precision - even if you are shooting with an open aperture. Point light sources, such as distant street lights at night, are reproduced with superior precision as the sagittal coma has been almost completely corrected. Point light sources appear in the image as naturally round dots, also at the edges of the image. Two ED glass lenses and two aspherical lenses also contribute to razor-sharp images with high brilliance, clear colours and rich contrasts. The Nikon nanocrystal coating reduces reflections highly effectively and thus also ghost images and scattered light. Your image becomes clearer and more brilliant, especially in backlit situations. The effect is also clearly visible in motifs with several light sources in the image field.
4. Panasonic Leica 100-400mm/4.0-6.3
The LEICA H-RSA100400E covers the high telephoto zoom range from 400 to 800mm (KB) and is still fast with F4.0 (wide) to 6.3 (telephoto). With the separately available teleconverters, the focal length can even be extended by 1.4x (DMW-TC14E) or 2x (DMW-TC20E) to 1,120mm or 1,600mm (KB).
This lens offers fantastic possibilities, especially for wildlife and sports photography from a greater distance, e.g. when observing animals in Africa.
Thanks to the built-in Power O.I.S. image stabilisation in combination with the Body I.S. of the G9 II, for example, even the longest telephoto shots are captured sharply.
Its compact dustproof, splashproof and cold-resistant design is also ideal for active, mobile use. In combination with a LUMIX G camera with dust and splash protection, you can use the lens in almost any weather and give free rein to your creativity.
5. Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM
This compact and lightweight 24mm fixed focal length lens combines the wide-angle field of view with high speed for creative shooting - even in low light. The 5-stop optical image stabiliser allows for longer shutter speeds and smooth video recording when shooting handheld. With an EOS R camera body equipped with In-Camera Image Stabilizer (IBIS), even higher stabilisation is possible (6.5 stops). The close focus distance of 14cm (at 0.5x magnification or half life size) is a real advantage for creative wide-angle shooting, allowing you to get extra close and show the subject in its surroundings. A configurable control ring and separate focus ring allow fine adjustment of focus, ISO, aperture or changing the AF method.
6. Tamron AF 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VXD G2 Sony FE
