Nikon's DX 85mm f3.5G VR is a mid-range macro lens for owners of DX-format DSLRs. It delivers a step-up from the entry-level DX 40mm, with built-in Vibration Reduction and a longer focal length allowing you to work at a more comfortable distance while still enjoying 1:1 magnification. With an effective focal length of 128mm on a DX body it also doubles-up as a handy telephoto, and additionally features SWM focusing which works on any Nikon body. Find out how it compares to the DX 40mm and 105mm macro lenses in our Nikon DX 85mm macro lens review!Archives for January 2012

Nikon's DX 40mm f2.8G is the most affordable macro lens with 1:1 magnification for owners of DX-format DSLRs. It features a bright f2.8 aperture, SWM focusing which works with any Nikon DSLR, and delivers surprisingly good quality for the money. Certainly if you're interested in getting into macro-photography, but can't commit to one of the pricier models, the DX 40mm f2.8G will let you achieve great results at a low price, while also doubling-up as a short-telephoto for portraits.

Happy New Year! Continuing a trend for mirror-less cameras with big sensors, I'm kicking-off 2012 with a review of one of the most affordable models yet! The Olympus E-PM1 is the baby in the current 'PEN' range, but packs the same sensor, 1080i movies, fast autofocus, hotshoe and built-in image stabilisation as the higher-end E-PL3 and E-P3. Nick-named the 'PEN Mini', the E-PM1 is designed to appeal to those who want to step up from a point-and-shoot, and as such it's smaller, lighter, more accessible and crucially cheaper than its more sophisticated siblings. Bargain or budget compromise? Find out if this is the ILC for you in my Olympus E-PM1 review!
