REVIEW

Samyang 14mm

We put a pair of Samyang 14mm f/2.8 lenses –

one AF and one MF – to the test to see which comes out

on top of this sibling rivalry. You might be surprised...

MINI TEST

98

Tabletop tripods

You don’t always need towering tripods weighing

you down. We try out half-a-dozen mini camera supports

and see which one takes home the gold.

BIG TEST

104

Portrait prime lenses

Which of these portrait primes will be best for

shooting star-studded close-ups? We test 85mm and

105mm fast primes that are perfect for people pictures...

Forget about it!
