Review: Nikon Nikkor Z 24-120mm f/4 S
An f/4 standard zoom has been an essential part of any system’s lineup for several decades now. Canon had their FD 28-85mm f/4 from 1985. Nikon had a manual focus 24-50mm f/4 starting way back in 1979. As zoom designs became more modern, the f/4 standard zoom has expanded in range, with Canon settling on…

Review: Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L USM
Canon was the first lens maker to create an 85mm lens with a giant f/1.2 aperture, way back in 1976 with the release of the FD 85mm f/1.2 S.S.C. Aspherical. Since then, they’ve had an 85mm f/1.2 continuously in their stable, with the slightly revised FD 85mmf /1.2L, then the two revisions of the EF…

Review: Nikon Z7 II
So, after dabbling in the DSLR realm once again with my Nikon D750, I wanted to begin reviewing Nikon Z lenses and bodies. I’m starting with Nikon’s Z7 II, a camera that has had a mixed reception since release, but offers a compelling combination of features and very high image quality at a reasonable price.…

But I’ve never become a pilot to get a shot, until recently,…

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