For shooting high quality landscape, architectural or interior photos, a “fast” wide-angle prime is a must. They offer significantly improved optical performance over many zooms that, while versatile, often suffer distortion and edge softness at wide focal lengths and maximum apertures. Let’s take a closer look at the Carl Zeiss 25mm f/2 wide-angle prime for Nikon and Canon lens mounts to see what it has to offer. |

Launched in April 2012, this wide-angle prime lens from Nikon, with a fast maximum aperture of f/1.8, suggests it may be a great choice for landscape, architectural and reportage photography. A light weight of 330g also ensures it’s easy to travel with and won’t weigh heavily in your bag. |

The Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 L II USM which belongs to the high-end L series of Canon is designed for high performance. Its 13 elements in 10 groups include two aspherical elements for limited the distortion and two UD glass elements to minimize the chromatic aberration. It also features “Sub Wavelength structure Coating” for reduced flare and ghosting and a floating focus mechanism to maintain the same image quality across the whole focus range. But, how does it really perform? |

When will the professional AF-S NIKKOR 14-24 mm 1:2,8G ED be tested by DxO
The AF-S NIKKOR 14-24 mm 1:2,8G ED should have a great sharpness and it's used by many professionals but I miss the DxO mark. Will DxO test this lens? With the Nikon D800 or D800E body or a different one?

Hi,
We will try to test this lens during the first semester of 2013, as well as the D800 and D800E. Regards, Emilie Reply |
