MIRRORLESS FULL-FRAME 50MM LENS SHOOTOUT

Asian Photography

|

September 2023

Mirrorless cameras have become increasingly popular due to its compact size and light weight.

MIRRORLESS FULL-FRAME 50MM LENS SHOOTOUT

At its inception users had reservations owing to the limited lens portfolio that most manufacturers offered. But in the past few years all manufacturers have introduced a robust lens roadmap and line-up. Users are now switching from DSLRs to mirrorless cameras. And the one lens that all consumers prefer/like is the 50mm prime. Often referred to as the "nifty fifty". This lens has been popular with the photographers due to its affordable nature and quality. But with time the optics, build quality, results, have changed, and so has the price. This month, we take the 50mm Prime lenses for the mirrorless cameras and pit them against each other to test their performance.

Benchmarking Test:

These tests are unique because we use widely accepted industry benchmarks to evaluate how well the lenses perform, rather than just relying on our subjective opinions about how they appear or feel. We have conducted the following tests on the lens:

EACH DIVE A BATTLE, EACH ASCENT A QUIET VICTORY:

When Mark Smith speaks about birds, he doesn’t talk like a photographer chasing the perfect frame. He speaks like a witness—someone who has spent years observing, listening and quietly learning from the natural world. Winning the HIPA Award this year may have brought his work global recognition, but for Smith, the moment still feels unreal. Bhavya Desai spoke to him about his love for birds and more. Excerpts:

BEST CAMERAS OF 2025

Competition doesn't sleep, and 2025 was no exception for the quote. The imaging industry went through a makeover of sorts, as we saw a shift of priority from companies, which led to them making cameras which were more hybrid in nature. This year we saw the Nikon-RED merger further fruitioning into a compact, competitive cinema camera and Canon releasing one in a similar form factor but with different capabilities and priority. In this round up, we list the cameras that brought something new to the table. Just like last year, we aren't including lenses, drones or action cameras or cinema cameras even though they've got so much in common with their mirrorless cousins.

Canon EOS R6 Mark III Review

It's time to dig out the Canon-Nikon rivalry from the DSLR era! Last year when we reviewed Nikon's Z6 III, we concluded that it's a solid buy with no real competition in the space. Well, that has certainly changed with the launch of the new Canon EOS R6 III. Priced at *₹2.44L puts it above its entry-level sibling - the R8 and below the flagship R5, R3 & R1 bodies. It also squarely sits in the same price bracket as the Nikon Z6 III which is interesting for the competition!
