As you know Samyang often design Full Frame DSLR lenses and then offers it in different mounts like Four Thirds and Micro Four Thirds. It’s not really the best solution for us because it makes the lens unnecessarily bigger. But on the other hand their lenses do deliver a very high optical performance for a very low price.

So it’s good to know that they will soon announce a new 135mm f/2.0 lens and you can read specs and see more images of the lens on [shoplink 50596 ebay]that eBay Hong Kong page (Click here)[/shoplink].

Chris: “I recently had a few photos of Sydney’s summer storms featured in the news and papers. I used the Live Comp feature on the Olympus E-M1 to capture lightning and storm clouds. I believe it’s a great function to capture these things (and many others) and I wrote an extensive article about it on my blog on what it is, how it works and how it can be used: http://surflove.com.au/chasing-storms/“
