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…

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: TTArtisan 50mm f/1.4 ASPH (RF Mount)
Manual focus lenses have seen a bit of a resurgence over the past 10 years, and if you’ve been following the site for a while, you know I have a certain fondness for them. It’s been great fun trying out older lenses, some of which are truly excellent optics even today. With the rise of…

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: Voigtländer 50mm f/2 APO-Lanthar
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
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
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
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…
