Review: Nikon Nikkor Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S
400mm prime lenses have long been staples of any good lens system. Most manufacturers have a top-tier 400mm f/2.8 in their lineup that usually goes for well into 5 figure cost territory and deliver incredible image quality. Few manufacturers, though, have bothered to make 400mm primes that are a little slower. Canon made the EF…

Review: Nikon Nikkor Z 70-180mm f/2.8
Today I’m reviewing Nikon’s relatively new fast telephoto zoom lens for their Z system: the Nikkor Z 70-180mm f/2.8. This is an interesting release, as Nikon already has an f/2.8 telephoto zoom in the 70-200mm f/2.8 S, which was released in 2020. Now the 70-180mm comes out with a less expensive build, a slightly shorter…

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: Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD
Tamron has been in the lens business for a long time, having established itself as a major third-party player for SLR systems going back decades. Despite that pedigree, Tamron had barely dipped its toes in the waters of mirrorless for many years before finally jumping in to the Sony E mount system in earnest two…

Review: Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM (Canon EF Mount) + MC-11
I don’t generally do reviews of Canon EF lenses, as I’ve been shooting mirrorless exclusively for the past 7 years. However, with the availability of EF to E-mount adapters, and the Sony system still being a little thin in some areas, there are Canon mount lenses that may potentially be great alternatives for use on…

Review: Olympus M.Zuiko 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 II
Today I take an in-depth look at the refresh of a lens that has been part of the Micro 4/3 system for a rather long time. Olympus first announced the original 75-300mm lens for Micro 4/3 in September of 2010. That lens was priced at a rather insane $900, significantly more than the competing Panasonic…

Review: Fujifilm Fujinon XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS
Fujifilm has been hard at work the past two years in fleshing out their new X-series mirrorless system. While the current system only consists of eight Fujinon lenses and two Zeiss lenses, Fuji has done a great job at building a complete system very quickly. One of the latest additions is the company’s second zoom…

Review: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 35-100mm f/2.8 X OIS
Panasonic and Olympus have been very busy the past few years, filling out their lens lineups for Micro 4/3, and while there have been some consumer grade lenses released in this time frame, both Olympus and Panasonic have really targeted the high-end enthusiast and professional with their recent lens offerings. At first, Micro 4/3 had…
