After comparing the imaging chain of the full-frame Canon EOS 5D Mk III across a raft of lenses, we’ve now turned our attention to the APS-C format EOS 700D / REBEL T5i / Kiss X7i. The 18.1-Mpix ‘Hybrid CMOS’ sensor in this camera is similar to those of the same size and pixel count used in the firm’s other models, including the semi-pro EOS 7D, so it may still be of interest even if you don’t own a EOS 700D / REBEL T5i / Kiss X7i. |

This is the first in a series of reviews rounding up the Lens Metrics Scores on 35mm primes for Canon, Nikon and Sony. We start by looking at options for Canon EF, and with several own brand and 3rd-party options on the market, there are plenty of choices available. Ranging in price from $320 to $1843, however, it’s tough to decide which one is best for you. So let’s take a closer look at image quality, features and value for money to help you decide. |

Canon were busy in 2012 releasing three wide-angle primes, the EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM, EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM and EF 35mm f/2 IS USM, on to the market. The latest launched in November 2012 was the Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM as an updated version of the original that dates back to 1990. Featuring Image Stabilization, Canon’s USM Ultrasonic autofocus motor, a ‘fast’ f/2 maximum aperture and wide-angle focal length, it looks a great option for Canon shooters into landscape or architectural photography. |

Announced at PhotoKina 2010, the Zeiss 35mm 1.4 lenses for Canon and Nikon are arriving on the market and have now been tested on DxOMark. With these new lenses, the German brand extends its already extensive line of fast wide-angle lenses such as the Carl Zeiss Distagon T 28mm f/2 ZE Canon and the Carl Zeiss Distagon T 28mm f/2 ZF2 Nikon. |

Samyang 35mm/1.4 vs Zeiss 35/1.4 vs Zeiss 35/2
As tested on the Nikon D3X the Samyang has a much higher score than the other two according to DXO mainly due to higher resolution and uniformity over the whole image field. Yet, looking at the use case scores - the star ratings - the Zeiss 35mm/1.4 has a higher rating for landscape than the other two lenses. It doesn't make sense to me.

ZF.2 f1.4 vs f2: which one should I buy/use/trust?
The Zeiss Distagon T* 35mm f2 (ZF.2) has 29 DxO marks and the f1.4 only 26-27?
using aspherical? this should improve lens characteristics... Reply |
