A Tripod in the Sky – DJI Air 2S Review

Posted on February 4, 2023February 4, 2023 by Jordan Steele

I’ve reviewed a lot of gear on this site, but I’ve never strayed too far from traditional photography, with a focus on camera bodies, lenses, etc. I’ve focused on the process of some things, my recent foray back into film shooting, and more. But I’ve never become a pilot to get a shot, until recently,…

Review: Laowa 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift (Canon RF)

Posted on July 18, 2022July 20, 2022 by Jordan Steele

Today I’m taking a deep look at the new Laowa 20mm f/4 Shift lens. As a photographer who shoots quite a lot of architecture, I have always enjoyed shooting with shift lenses. Shift lenses allow for the control of perspective distortion, often shown as converging vertical lines, by allowing you to keep the camera perfectly…

Review: Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM

Posted on May 30, 2022May 30, 2022 by Jordan Steele

I’ve been reviewing a lot of Canon’s interesting light weight consumer-grade optics as of late, and continues with today’s review of the Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM. The 800mm f/11 was announced alongside the similar 600mm f/11 lens, providing super-telephoto reach with a slow aperture and an affordable price. Like many of Canon’s lower…

Review: Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM

Posted on March 3, 2022March 3, 2022 by Jordan Steele

Canon has been busy churning out lenses for their full-frame RF mount, and this past fall released two interesting consumer-grade lenses. The first is the tiny ultra-wide 16mm f/2.8, which I reviewed recently and really enjoy. The second is the subject of today’s review, the Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM. When this lens was…

Review: Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM

Posted on February 3, 2022February 4, 2022 by Jordan Steele

When the first details about the Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM leaked in 2021, the lens sounded intriguing: the RF system could certainly use a mid-range ultra-wide prime. When later leaks suggested that the lens would cost only $299 and would be the same size as the nifty-fifty RF 50mm f/1.8, I thought there was…

Review: Canon RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM

Posted on September 21, 2021April 26, 2022 by Jordan Steele

As Canon fleshes out their mirrorless RF mount, the usual suspects are starting to fall into place. After initially targeting the highest end users with the pro-grade f/2.8 zoom lenses and the exceptional 50mm f/1.2 and 85mm f/1.2 lenses, Canon has branched out to fill out the next tier of lenses targeted at enthusiasts and…

Review: Fujifilm X100V

Posted on July 24, 2021July 24, 2021 by Jordan Steele

I have reviewed quite a lot of Fujifilm gear, and have owned many of their cameras and lenses, but somehow I have never gotten around to reviewing their famous X100 lineup, which has been extremely popular since the first X100 was announced way back in 2010.  I’ve tried them out in stores or at trade…

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

Posted on February 27, 2021March 11, 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…
