Announced in 2012, the Nikon D800 is the current undisputed king of DxOMark, with results that eclipse every other camera from all other manufacturers. However, with so much resolution on tap, the question is, which lenses should you use to make the best of what you’ve got? The DxOMark labs have tested 61 different lenses on the D800 to bring you an unparalleled resource of which lenses are best and which should be avoided. To make it easy to follow, we have broken the reviews down into sections so you can concentrate on the lenses that are important to you. This first section will give you an overview of the D800. We will follow this with a review of the standard focal length lenses, then the telephoto lenses and super-zooms and finally there will be a wide-angle review. |

For lovers of macro photos as well as of quality portraits, Sigma added a 70mm F2.8 EX DG Macro to its pro (EX) line in 2006. |
|
We have just tested both the Canon and Nikon versions of the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM lens, announced on February 8, 2011. |
|
We have just tested the Tamron SP AF 90mm F/2.8 Di MACRO on both Canon and Nikon mounts, giving us the opportunity to review the performance of all the lenses in this category (though we’re waiting for the results of the latest Sigma 105mm f 2.8 EX DG OS, which should come our way soon!). |

With it true 1:1 macro reproduction and its floating auto-focus system for high optical quality on its very broad range of focus, this Sigma macro lens looks like ideal for a wide variety of photographers, from nature to sport and portraits. Let’s review its image quality. |

We have the latest test results for these prime Pentax lenses. With these additions we can now compare the results for 10 Pentax lenses ranging from the kit-featured Pentax SMC DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL II and super zoom Pentax SMC Pentax-DA 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 ED AL [IF] to the more expensive Pentax SMC DA 16-50mm F2.8 ED AL (IF) SDM. |

Test results for the two 100mm Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM and EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM are now available on DxOMark.com. We’ve also compared the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM vs. the Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED vs. the Sony 100mm F2.8 Macro (see results here). |

This is almost a full stop difference as far as sensor performance is conerned. This full "noise" stop in favor of the Nikon D4 explains the difference in the final DxO mark lens score which is in fact the information capacity of your imaging system (lens + sensor performance) You can read more about information capacity here : http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Publications/DxOMark-Insights/DxOMark-Score Reply |
