Originally posted 2009-10-28 on Optyczne.pl Our articles series about the 50th anniversary of the Nikon F mount and the 90th anniversary of the Olympus company were ended by duels between old and new lenses of a given manufacturer.
While preparing our polarizing filters test supplement we decided to update also our UV filters test which lacked the Cokin company products. The Cokin filters system is very popular among more demanding users because it allows them more freedom of action when working with filters (especially gradiating filters).

Originally posted 2009-07-06 on Optyczne.pl As our first articles, comparing old lenses with their modern counterparts on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the F bayonet mount, have been very popular, both in Poland and abroad, we decided to present a similar comparison of the Olympus lenses.
Originally posted 2009-04-23 on Optyczne.pl The second part of our duels of the oldest and the youngest lenses, equipped with an F bayonet mount, will still revolve around 50 mm focal lengths so those, which are the equivalent of a classic, full frame standard.

Originally posted 2007-09-21 on Optyczne.pl When we buy a brand new camera we usually get very excited. We take pictures of everything: objects in motion, contemplative still shots, the tiniest of objects and the largest of objects, from far away and close-up.
There is a slight confusion caused by the different detector sizes of digital cameras and therefore we sometimes have problems with stating the lens’s field of view at a particular focal length.
The main part of a photography testing session is done by using the ISO 12233 test chart. This chart was designed by Stephen H. Westin from Cornell University and has been slightly modified to meet the needs of LensTip.
