Einfach mal entspannen und den Spaß miterleben: Mit ein paar Informationen nebenbei zu Foto und Video gibt es hier vor allem schöne Eindrücke von Touren auf dem Wasser – mit dem Kajak (hier mit dem Advanced Elements Expedition) unterwegs, bei herrlichem Wetter!

My review about the Canon EF-S 60 mm 1:2.8 USM macro on Youtube:

Wie man einem Kind aus einem auf den ersten Blick völlig unspektakulären Tag ein recht spektakuläres Mitbringsel schaffen kann:

Gebt Euch nicht mit weniger zufrieden als RAW-Format:

Never be satisfied with less than RAW-formate:

Kajak fahren + Fotografie:
Natürlich bin ich wieder mit dem Expedition von Advanced Elements unterwegs. Aber nun geht es auch um die GoPro-Hero4 und um das Canon EF-S 15-85 mm an Canon EOS 60D. Und ganz besonders geht es um den Spaß auf dem Wasser und an der Natur unter herrlicher Sonne: Youtube-Video (11:55 min) für gute Laune trotz miesen Winterwetters.

EF 35 mm 1:2 IS USM as APS-C standard lens

Veröffentlicht am 2016-09-08 von Gerhard Ochsenfeld

The Canon EF 35 mm 1:2 IS USM is not meant to be a standard lens, while offered as a medium-priced light wide-angle-lens for full-frame cameras. – Apart from this it is a remarkable standard lens for APS-C-cameras!

Great standard lens for APS-C: the Canon EF 35 mm 1:2 IS USM!

Maybe the f/2.0 is a blaming detail for a standard lens. 50 years or more have passed since we obviously accepted apertures like that on a standard focal length. So maybe you wonder why I call this lens a great choice, when looking for a standard lens for your APS-C.

See my video on youtube to find different examples of use, to find test shots, to find 100-%-outcuts to show you great strengths and very low and less weaknesses of this lens. See and let me explain why I think this lens to be a great standard lens for Canon-EOS APS-C-cameras – furthermore at a medium pricerange.

Let me have a look back: Once starting with an FL-lens, in the 1970s Canon tried to establish the renewed FD 55 mm 1:1,2 lens as a standard lens for enthusiastic photographers and professionals. Canon was not the only enterprise to try to make the 55 mm for the former so called 35-mm-cameras (the nowadays full-frame) to be an accepted standard focal length. Already when Canon came along with it’s NEW F-1 – that was in the beginning 1980s – they stopped their engagement and accepted the demand for only 50 mm as a standard focal length.

But now I say: Here it is! The 55-mm-lens for anyone using APS-C!!!

Klick onto the photography to see my video review:

A 35-mm-lens is a 56-mm, mounted on Canon’s APS-C-cameras.

However, before watching my video let me give you my summery about the Canon EF 35 mm 1:2 IS USM – used with an APS-C-camera:

The lens is free from vignetting; chromatic aberations are really not relevant and can be found sometimes, when going down to the last pixel. Diffractions are unknown to this lens. Sharpness is good at any aperture; it is very good from f/2.8 up to f/9 – at last excellent between f/4.0 and f/7.1. Contrast is a bit weak at f/2.0, f/2.2, f/2.5 – and extraordinary from f/3.2 up to f/5.6.
Furthermore the lens is great in shorter distance: e.g. to reproduce paintings. Normally you would choose a 50-mm-lens at an APS-C-sensor. However, if you do not have the room to get enough distance for medium sized paintings, the 35-mm does not disappoint you! Choose an aperture of f/6.3 or best f/8 to be able to use it including the last of the corners. If the medium area is enough, you can start with f/2.5 to enjoy very good contrast and great sharpness.
Using this lens as one’s standard lens in conjunction with an APS-C-camera is neither honouring nor decoration. Unlike, in contrast to this your results are outstanding.

See my video to find out why the Canon EF 35 mm f/2 IS USM is a really great 55-mm standard lens on APS-C-cameras.

all-rounder EF-S 24 mm f/2.8 STM – review

Veröffentlicht am 2016-09-08 von Gerhard Ochsenfeld

I had made a german video about the Canon EF-S 24 mm f/2.8 STM all-round APS-C-lens, a more less than more spectacular lens for APS-C-cameras. Nevertheless it is a kind all-rounder. – Now here is the english video, not simply as a translation of the german video, but really an original video with some additional examples and pictures.

Canon takes us by surprise with this cheap EF-S 24 mm f/2.8 STM !

The EF-S 24 mm f/2.8 STM is very unspectacular – but offers very surprising results. This lens does not try to be a specialist in any use. It is rather more an all-rounder. It is rather more the not conspicuous companion and the completely unburdening assistant. So this special lens only for APS-C-cameras has really deserved some attention! While this lens with complete justification fights for a silver or bronze medal I needed to offer you a review via youtube.

24mmstmmacrodtlv2web

For me it was the neccessarity to have a lens with a shorter focal distance than 35 mm. At the same time offering better results than the EF-S 15-85 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM. It was my inner refusal to pay the money for an EF 24 mm f/2.8 IS USM, that is as low-priced or as expensive as an EF 35 mm f/2.0 IS USM – but by far not as good as that! – The price of 150 Euro, spent for the 24-mm-pancake, was the low risk for a surprising good deal.

common all-rounder far better than bad average

Later image editing changes photographs, taken with a Canon EF-S 24 mm f/2.8 STM, to the better. Nevertheless, beyond the best the results are really remarkable! See my video and find out, if this lens might be a lens for you. But let me promise you: This all-round lens is more than a lens better than none! And is much more than a bad average. If you level the results up by more or less image editing, the EF-S 24 mm STM becomes a really good and modest companion to serve your ambitions.

Many examples, included in my video, will show you the advantages and disadvantages of this lens. See the weaknesses and strengths of the Canon EF-S 24 mm F/2.8 STM via 100-%-details. Be surprised and wonder about a real low-budget-lens – landing far beyond low-budget-results.

Samyang 10 mm F2.8 – english review

Veröffentlicht am 2016-07-10 von Gerhard Ochsenfeld

My video review for Samyang 10 mm F2.8 now with an english spoken comment!

+ additional video with new comparisons concerning vignetting and sharpness.

I did prepare an english version of my video review about the Samyang 10 mm F2.8. Furterhmore there is now an additional video of under 4 minutes. You should be able to evaluate by your own. The Samyang 10 mm F2.8 is an ultra wideangle lens, specially for APS-C-cameras. It is a class at it’s own.

The pictures I show, are mostly the same as in the german version of that video. However, you can really find a little bonus of picture and information. So you can learn a little more about this lens or about APS-C-sensors than I offer in the german version.

The Samyang 10 mm F2.8 is a lens only for APS-C-sensored cameras that does not offer common comfort, but extraordinary quality at an ultrawide angle.

See my video on Youtube!

It is really worthwhile to have a look on the Samyang 10 mm F2.8, if you are looking for an ultrawide angle lens for your APS-C-camera. The lens is fully manually – but the only prime lens with such a focal length. So if you are at odds with the zoom lenses you can find servering the ultra wide angle, because of bluring corners, strong distortion or extrem cromatic aberation… Here you are! This might be your next lens!

– My video includes many different pictures to show the abilities of the Samyang 10 mm F2.8, an ultra wide angle lens for APS-C only. –

I myself was uncertain, when I heard of that lens. Some videos and a website helped me… not to trust in the lens, but to dare to buy it. That, however, is the reason, why I want to show different pictures to make the ability visible for everyone who is interested in buying an ultra wide angle lens for his APS-C-camera – and everyone who is in doubt with the Samyang 10 mm F2.8: You don’t need to hear or to read hymns of praise! You need to see different results to weigh up by yourself, if this lens might be the right lens for you.

While I’m not able to embed pictures of adequate size into this template, I think it is the most easy way to present you a video review and a short additional video via Youtube to show you the ability of this unusual lens. The pictures included, are set on 1.920 x 1.080 pixel – you need to know for many 100-%-cutouts, I present.

For detailed technical information, specially about this lens and with a clear chart, go to the web site of Samyang.

I hope you enjoy 🙂
