Stupid Hipster Lens Review - the "Dreamy Diana"

Blunty's review on the Dreamy Diana Lens which claims to ads a "retro mode" to your DSLR, so he's off on an adventure into the vile, poser filled lands of faux nostalgia infested by vapid Hipsters who drool over deliberately crappy plastic lenses, he is a pilgrim in an unholy land! The "Dreamy Diana" is a plastic lens for "Lomography" or so called "lo-fi" photographers, it's made to emulate the lens on the Diana camera from the 1960's, the 38mm Super Wide Diana+ Lens is supposed to create a "soft & dreamy focus" for your photos, you can get it with either a Canon or Nikon DSLR adapter and the lens's very basic focus has three distance settings, 1-2m, 2-4m and Infinity, and you'll get the best out of it in high contrast light I got the "Dreamy Diana" lens kit from Photojojo; photojojo.com they say; "You've got libraries full of flawless, uber professional, kick-ass magazine worthy photographs. But despite the hundreds of dollars spent on whotzits and whatzits galore you've hit an artistic dead end. Don't fret photo friend! Even Thomas Kinkade gets tired of glowy lamp posts and elfish villages. You're in a rut! And unlike Kinkade, you've got no mass produced art revenue to fall back on. You do, however, have something far more reputable, The Dreamy Diana lens! It's a lovely plastic lens that transforms your beloved hunk of metal and glass into a digital toy camera. Yesiree you can now get that lovable Lo-fi "technology" on your digi cam from Lomography's series of Diana ...

PENTAX K-7 Introduction

This is an introduction to the new PENTAX K-7 Digital SLR camera.

Nikon D7000 Hands-on preview

The Nikon D7000 is a dust- and moisture-sealed 16.2-megapixel DX-format DSLR camera with a 39-point AF system, 14-bit analogue-to-digital conversion, 6fps continuous shooting, dual memory card slots and Full HD video with full-time autofocus and manual exposure control. The new AF module includes 9 cross-type sensors in the central part of the frame. Photographers can also activate 3D tracking, which continuously follows moving subjects within the 39 AF points, highlighting the activated AF point in the viewfinder - which in turn has 100% frame coverage and 0.94x magnification. Also new is the 2016-pixel 3D Colour Matrix meter, which Nikon calls "groundbreaking". The Nikon D7000 has a native ISO range of 100-6400 that can be expanded to ISO 25600; another first in a Nikon DX camera. The video mode of the D7000 offers variable frame rates of 20, 24 or 30fps at 720p, and cinema-standard 24fps at the 1080p setting. In the US, the Nikon D7000 will be available from mid-October priced at $1199.95 for body only and $1499.95 for body and lens outfit that includes the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens. In the UK, the body-only price will be £1099.99, while the kit will cost £1299.99.

Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 AF Di LD IF Macro Lens for Sony Digital SLR unboxing, review and sample images

Tamron AF 70-200mm f/2.8 Di LD IF Macro Lens for Sony Digital SLR Cameras Unboxing and Sample images Great Lens! it's not too slow or too loud for my uses... Optically it's spectacular! It is quite heavy, so your camera's neck strap will probably not work, so i use a Black Rapid RS7 attached to the tripod collar and it works great, no problem carrying this lens all days. No vignette at all on a crop sensor i have found no detectable Chromatic aberration yet. great value for the price!! 1/2 the price of the 70-200 2.8 sony pro lens The carrying case is nice, but i wish it has a belt loop... since it does not, and is too big for my camera bag, i will probably never use it links to some of the full-res pictures Crocodile picasaweb.google.com Tortes picasaweb.google.com Mercat picasaweb.google.com camel drool picasaweb.google.com giraffe picasaweb.google.com giraffe picasaweb.google.com ivy path picasaweb.google.com flowers -- zoom in picasaweb.google.com Bell tower picasaweb.google.com Here is a gallery of additional full res photos taken with this lens picasaweb.google.com
