Review: Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM

Posted on February 27, 2021February 27, 2021 by Jordan Steele

As Canon’s RF mount lens lineup continues to grow, we are finally starting to see some of the staple lenses for advanced amateurs come forward. While Canon released the compact and excellent RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS last year, many enthusiasts were hoping for a similar treatment for the very popular f/4 telezoom line. Well it’s…

Review: Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift

Posted on February 25, 2021February 25, 2021 by Jordan Steele

Laowa is a relative newcomer to the consumer photographic industry, but in the short time they’ve been around they have released a large number of unique lenses that provide capabilities that aren’t available from any other manufacturer. From extreme ultra-wide angle lenses, to greater than 1:1 macro lenses and probe lenses, they’ve created some truly…

Review: Voigtländer 50mm f/2 APO-Lanthar

Posted on February 14, 2021February 21, 2021 by Jordan Steele

Today I’m reviewing the Voigtländer 50mm f/2 APO-Lanthar – an all manual lens for Sony E-Mount. In 2021, you wouldn’t think that fully manual lenses would be gaining much of a foothold in the photographic world, but Voigtländer has managed to create a wonderful line of E-Mount lenses that have been largely successful. I’m sure…

Review: Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L USM

Posted on January 4, 2021January 3, 2021 by Jordan Steele

When Canon launched the RF mount mirrorless line of cameras and lenses, they released the system with an initial slate of four lenses. In a somewhat bold move, three of the lenses were core upper-end L-series professional lenses, including the RF 28-70mm f/2L, the RF 24-105mm f/4L, and this lens: the RF 50mm f/1.2L. Instead…

Review: Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM

Posted on January 1, 2021February 15, 2021 by Jordan Steele

Canon’s 70-200mm lenses have always been one of the core lenses in their camera systems, and have consistently been excellent. With the new mirrorless RF system, Canon has changed things up with regards to the construction of their RF 70-200mm f/2.8L, moving from a constant length internal zooming lens to a much more compact extending…

Review: Canon RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM

Posted on December 13, 2020December 13, 2020 by Jordan Steele

When Canon began the EOS R system, they started with three L series lenses and one affordable prime lens: the versatile 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS. As they have fleshed out the system, they’ve added a few other affordable lenses, but if you wanted a faster lens for portraiture, you were somewhat limited to the exceedingly…

Review: Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM

Posted on October 31, 2020October 31, 2020 by Jordan Steele

Canon’s full-frame mirrorless system launched with one camera, the EOS R, and four lenses. After two years, the workhorse standard zoom released in that initial batch, the RF 24-105mm f/4L IS, is still one of the more desirable lenses for the system. As of this writing, it’s also the only really affordable L series lens…

Review: Canon EOS R6

Posted on October 26, 2020December 23, 2020 by Jordan Steele

Before getting into my Canon EOS R6 review, let’s take a quick look at Canon’s mirrorless history. Canon’s mirrorless camera development started slowly, with the EF-M system beginning in 2012, but targeting casual shooters. That system has been moderately successful, but Canon has put minimal effort into expanding the system, and 8 years after the…
