  • Review: Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM

    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 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…

  • Review: Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD

    Review: Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD

    Tamron had great success with their first full-frame Sony E-mount lens, the 28-75mm f/2.8. The lens was affordable, had very good image quality, a solid yet lightweight build and made for a very nice alternative to the Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM.  Now they are targeting the ultra-wide zoom segment with the new Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8…

  • Review: Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD (Sony E-Mount)

    Review: Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD (Sony E-Mount)

    As the full-frame Sony E-Mount system matures, the available lens selection has continued to grow year after year. While Sony and Zeiss have created a wide variety of lenses from 12mm through 400mm, third-party lens makers have yet to fully embrace the system, save perhaps for Voigtlander, which has released a fair few lenses for…

  • Review: Olympus M.Zuiko 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 II

    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: 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…

  • Review: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 X OIS

    Panasonic Goes Pro When the Panasonic Lumix 12-35mm f/2.8 X lens was first shown off as a ‘concept lens’ with its still yet to be announced 35-100mm brother (reviewed here) in August of last year, serious photographers who used the Micro 4/3 system started to lick their chops.  It took a while, but the lens was…
