The second in our series of selecting the best-quality lenses for your camera concentrates on one of the most highly-anticipated cameras of our time, the successor to the hugely popular EOS 5D Mark II. But by the time it was announced, in early March, it’s probably fair to say Nikon had taken fair amount of interest away by announcing the 36M-Pix D800 and D800E models the month before. Be that as it may, there’s no denying the 22.3 M-Pix EOS 5D Mark III is a remarkably capable camera, and a formidable rival to the Nikon. |

After looking at the Nikon AF-D series, DxOMark continues working its way through the history of photography by presenting the measurements for another “antique” lens, the Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM. |

This new Sigma 12-24mm EX DG HSM II wide-angle zoom for full-frame cameras is a somewhat improved version of the previous lens, the solidly-built Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG Canon. |

Our camera lens database keeps growing and this time we are adding the Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 HSM. This wide-angle lens is available for Nikon and Canon cameras fitted with an APS-C sensor. This lens offers an equivalent 12*24mm for 24*36 sensors. In addition to the previously reviewed Sigma 12-24mm f4.5-5.6 EX DG Canon mount and Nikon mount, these new results will give us a clear overview on how Sigma scores on entry-level wide-angle lenses. |
