Revisiting the Canon EOS 30D
2024 marks 20 years of serious photography for me, as I acquired my first serious camera, the original Canon Digital Rebel, in November of 2004. At the time, that camera opened up a new world of serious imaging that I had never before experienced, and it’s really when I began to grow as a photographer.…

The Best Lenses – In My Experience
Last updated 2/10/24 What lens is best? I get asked this all the time, and there’s never really a right answer. “Best for what?” is what I usually reply, as the answer will depend on what the photographer wants to accomplish, what their budget is and what is important to them. Everyone will have a…

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: 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 16mm f/2.8 STM
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
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…
