Canon 5Ds R – A Special Camera
A few years ago, I ventured back into using a DSLR for the first time in over a decade to compare to my more recent experience with mirrorless cameras. Over the last year or so, I’ve been dipping my toes back into some older bodies, and taking advantage of the excellent used prices on older…

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 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…
