Zoom lenses are convenient for sure, but unless you know how to use them properly, they can cause more problems than they solve…

First Impressions: Loreo Lens in a Cap
How ironic is it that the Loreo Lens in a Cap arrived the day after my Holga HL-N? And just as I was snapping some test shots on a more Holga-friendly sunny day!

First Impressions: Holga HL-N 60mm f/8.0 “Lens”
I can’t believe I’m actually writing this. But then, this is likely to be such a misunderstood product, that it bears the shedding of some light.

Somehow this one slipped by me. While I wasn’t looking, The fine folks at Holga began producing their own SLR lenses in Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax and Sony mounts. This is good news for me, because I have the Holgamods version of this lens, and well, it leaves a lot to be desired.

First Impressions: Voigtländer Color Skopar 20mm f/3.5 SL II
I had been fighting this for a long time. I’m a big fan of the Voigtländer Ultron 40mm f2.0 SL II, but often need a lens that’s wider. I carefully weighed the differences between the Nikkor 20mm and this lens, and settled on the Nikkor due to it’s additional speed and auto focus capability. The Nikon was also a tad sharper. But I’ve been seeing a lot of great sample images from the Color Skopar, and started to give it some thought.
