單反 單鏡反光機(SLR, Single Lens Reflex),現在通常指數碼單鏡反光機(DSLR)
小白 / SW 指 Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM,由於 Canon 的長焦 L 鏡鏡身為白色塗裝,而此鏡推出時為焦距最短的一支白鏡,因此被暱稱為「小白」。

小白 IS / SWIS Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM,小白的 IS 版本。
小小白 / SSW Canon EF 70-200mm f4.0L USM,比小白細一級光圈,因此被稱為小小白。

最佳的攝影鏡頭 (轉文)

By admin, August 16, 2011 12:24 pm

世界上有多家攝影雜志擁有完整科學的鏡頭測試設備,一直堅持刊登各自的鏡頭測試報告,形成各自的風格和系列,其中公認為最權威的有德國的<攝影雜志>和<彩色攝影>,美國的<大眾攝影>,法國的<攝影師>和瑞典的<攝影>(即哈蘇實驗室測試報告).

對于同一款鏡頭的測試結果,它們有時趨于一致,有時卻出現偏差,以致引起不少爭議.引起這些偏差的原因主要有鏡頭的個體差异(特別是業余鏡頭存在質量不穩定現象),測試內容的不同(有的將机械質量和光學質量綜合評判,有的僅測試光學質量;有的僅判斷分辨率和MTF值,有的則綜合考慮色彩傳遞,畸變等) 和判斷標准不同(再客觀的測試,也是由許多個枯燥的數值組成的,要轉化為大家能夠理解的測試報告,最后必須用主觀的方式來表達,如分值,星號等).

這些測試應該相信哪一家好呢?于是有人想出將這些測試結果綜合起來判斷,最大程度地消除偶然性.德國攝影器材評論家克勞斯席洛夫1998年時將上述五家測試報告按一定的標准轉化為統一的5分制分值,并加權平均,用這种方法評測了當時市場上流行的205款135單反相机鏡頭,其中變焦鏡頭98款,定焦鏡頭107款,其中獲得了滿分5分的鏡頭有7款,它們是:

Leica Vario-Elmarit R 70-180mm f/2.8(3)
Leica Elmarit R 100mm f/2.8 APO macro(3)
Leica R 180mm f/2 APO(2)
Leica R 180mm f/3.4 APO(3)
Leica R 280mm f/4 APO-IF(3)
Leica R 400mm f/2.8(2)
Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 USM L ?(3)

用這种方法來評价鏡頭光學質量不失為一种有趣的方法,但也存在缺陷.后面括號內的數值表示測試的雜志數,并非上述五家雜志都做了測試,如果同為三家雜志所測試,但雜志卻有所不同,其可比性相對就差了,如果后來又加入新的測試,分值會有變化,變化有可能還不小,因此對于分值接近的兩款鏡頭,光學素質孰高孰低很難說,但如果兩款鏡頭分值相差較遠,它們的光學素質的差距是不可動搖的事實.

徠卡鏡頭名不虛傳,7個滿分鏡頭中占了6個,另一款為佳能的超級400mm大炮.徠卡果然沒有讓人們失望,各款鏡頭均表現出超俗的水平,不過話說回來,它的价格也是鶴立雞群,讓我們多數人不抱擁有的希望.

在4.5-4.99分之間的鏡頭也有7款,它們是:

Leica R 280mm f/2.8 APO-IF = 4.96(4)
Carl-Zeiss Sonnar T* 135mm f/2.8 = 4.87(2)
Canon TS-E 45mm f/2.8 = 4.61(2)
Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 USM L = 4.6(4)
Leica Vario-Elmarit R 80-200mm f/4 = 4.6(3)
Canon EF 135mm f/2 USM L = 4.54(4)
Minolta AF 200mm f/2.8 APO G = 4.52(3)

由上可以看出,變焦鏡頭与專業的定焦鏡頭相比,在光學質量還是有所遜色.除上述兩款徠卡變焦鏡頭外,超過4分的變焦鏡頭只剩下3款:

Carl-Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 28-85mm f/3.3-4 = 4.17(4)
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 USM L = 4.07(4)
Nikkor AF 35-70mm f/2.8 D = 4.01(5)

而超過4分的定焦鏡頭數量可觀,包括上述定焦鏡頭總共達到45款. 相對与長焦鏡頭來說,廣角鏡頭(無論是定焦還是變焦)由于涵蓋率和构造的關系,更難達到高分.超過4分的定焦廣角鏡頭(焦長28mm以下)有5款:

Leica R 19mm f/2.8 = 4.28 (3)
Carl-Zeiss Distagon T* 21mm f/2.8 = 4.17 (2)
Leica R 28mm f/2.8 = 4.16 (3)
Pentax SMC-F 28mm f/2.8 = 4.13 (3)
Leica R 28 f/2.8mm = 4.12 (2)

分數最高的超廣角變焦鏡頭是:

Nikkor AF 2.8 20-35mm D = 3.46 (4)
近兩年中又有許多新鏡頭面世,最近克勞斯席洛夫對上述評价做了調整,去掉了徠卡鏡頭和康太時單反相机鏡頭,加入了康太時G系列鏡頭(旁軸平視取景相机),即所列鏡頭全部為自動對焦鏡頭,共計變焦鏡頭115款,定焦鏡頭103款.對評分標准也做了一些修改,去掉了爭議較大的德國<攝影雜志>測試,換之以英國的<業余愛好 者>雜志測試.綜合評分達到4. 5分以上的鏡頭被定為”杰出鏡頭”,目前共有18款,它們是:

Pentax SMC-FA 85mm f/1.4 = 4.85 (3)
Carl-Zeiss Planar T* 45mm f/2 G = 4.77 (3)
Sigma AF 50mm f/2.8 Macro EX = 4.77 (3)
Canon EF 135mm f/2 USM L = 4.72 (4)
Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8 = 4.72 (2)
Nikkor AF 60mm f/2.8 Micro = 4.63 (4)
Carl-Zeiss Sonnar T* 90mm f/2.8 G = 4.62 (3)
Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 USM L = 4.60(3)
Minolta AF 100mm f/2 = 4.60(3)
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro = 4.57(5)
Carl-Zeiss Biogon T* 28mm f/2.8 G = 4.57 (3)
Nikkor AF 105mm f/2.8 Micro = 4.54(5)
Nikkor AF 85mm f/1.8 D = 4.53(3)
Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM = 4.52(4)
Minolta AF 200mm f/2.8 APO G = 4.50(4)
Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 USM L = 4.50(3)
Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/2.8 ED D = 4.50(2)
Pentax SMC-FA* 200mm f/2.8 ED IF = 4.50(2)

超過4分的變焦鏡頭有9款:

Nikkor AF-S 28-70mm f/2.8 ED D = 4.24 (3)
Minolta AF 80-200mm f/2.8 APO G = 4.18 (3)
Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 USM L = 4.16 (2)

我的母校﹕香港培正中學

今天重返20年前的母校﹐掀起了大家無數的記憶。

01

在那充滿Art Deco氣息的樓梯上﹐曾經留下了你我的腳印

02
在模糊的記憶時空裡﹐我們的確有過那麼一段曾經在同一屋檐下的難忘經歷。

03

當年那些各奔東西的同學們﹐你們還記得大家嗎﹖

世界上最美好的是什麼﹖

我昨天終于完全感受到了﹐就是那份小朋友的童真﹐真的很Powerful!

背景音樂配以哥哥張國榮的那首“小明星”這就完美了﹗

一切以感覺為上﹗

今天看見一幅法國攝影大師Robert Doisneau在1950年的成名作﹐再次證明永恆的相片是靠攝影師的現場感直接造就出來的。 

就如Classical Music﹐為何莫扎特那麼多的曲子幾百年後還繪炙人口﹐就是因為他擁有與眾不同的靈感﹐所以常說藝術家總得先有些天賦也就是這個道理了。

跟打網球一樣﹐感覺這回事還真的沒法教﹐要親身領會了後技巧才能更上一層樓﹗

Probably The Most Sexy Tennis Girl in History

By admin, May 24, 2011 10:34 pm

1977 Athena Tennis Girl

 

Mr Elliott who took the picture in 1976 while he was a photography student, used his then girlfriend Fiona Butler, 18, as a model. She borrowed a white tennis dress, a racket and balls and Martin took a photo of her from behind as she lifted her dress and touched her bare bum.

He sold the image to poster chain Athena and it went on to become one of the most famous images in the world. It was first published it as part of a calendar for the 1977 Silver Jubilee – the same year Virginia Wade achieved the Wimbledon ladies single title.

The picture – called Tennis Girl – went on to sell more than two million copes in Athena shops and continued to sell millions after the firm went bust in the 1990s. Mr Elliott retained the copyright to the image and made a fortune but Fiona was never paid a penny – but did eventually marry a millionaire.

He retired to Cornwall 11 years ago after living in Stourbridge and Portishead. He died peacefully aged 63 at his home in Perranwell Station, near Truro, Cornwall, late last month after a ten year battle with cancer.

His widow Noelle, who met her husband in 1987, said the picture had actually hindered his career because no one would commission him as they feared he would be too expensive.

“Martin sold the image to Athena – who turned it into a poster – but he retained copyright. I am still getting royalties to this day,” she said.

“They are only a few pence now but because it has sold all over the world we have done well out of it.

“Martin always felt he had the good times before the business became overrun with image-conscious people and cut-throat deals.”

She added: “He had a marvellous sense of humour and was a great joker. He always thought he would get better. He loved Cornwall and was very content.”

He studied at the Birmingham School of Photography and he took the image at the uni’s tennis courts in Edgbaston.
Speaking before his death he said: “I can remember it was an afternoon in September at the end of the long hot summer.

“It was over very quickly. I only took one roll of film, which is pretty feeble for a photographer and I just hoped I’d got the shot.”

Mrs Butler, now 50, later married millionaire Ian Walker and the couple live with their children in Stourport, Worcestershire. Speaking in 2007, she said that, despite not being paid, she was proud of her iconic status.

“I can remember the day quite clearly. When the picture got so popular I was quite amused that something taken that afternoon could get so big,” she said.

“It became one of those pictures that everyone knows and everyone’s seen.

“I like the fact that it’s got a bit of an air of mystery about it. I think that’s what helped with its longevity, because people kept wondering if it was anyone famous.”

She added: “I remember going to a party with my husband and people were saying ‘is that the girl in the photograph?’. They looked me up and down and said ‘I don’t think so’. My son’s headmaster once said to me that he used to have it on his wall at university. I’ve got no objections to it whatsoever.

“My children have never been upset about it. It’s really nothing that anyone could be offended by. It’s just a bit of fun. ‘I think it was banned in a couple of countries but really I don’t think there was anything to get upset about.

“It was just a picture of a very sort of ordinary girl and there’s something in that that appeals to people.”

日本加油﹗
