December 17, 2015 Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM Image Gallery

Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM Gallery The Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM lens is a masterful tool.  It is built like the proverbial tank with advanced weather sealing, it handles beautifully (though a bit large), and the image quality is superb.  Its price tag is equally staggering, but using it feels a lot […] [Read more...]

November 20, 2015 Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Review

Canon has been renovating its entire catalog of consumer grade zoom lenses over the past several years to great effect. I’ve used a number of Canon’s previous generation consumer grade zooms, including the 18-55mm kit lens, the 18-135mm and 18-200mm superzooms, and the 55-250mm (IS II) telephoto lens. When I began getting in [Read more...]

November 12, 2015 Canon EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Review

In photography there are moments when we have “fortunate accidents”; can we also have those with gear purchases? I didn’t originally set out to purchase the Canon EF-M 55-200mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM telephoto lens. It wasn’t readily available in the North American market and I initially decided that I would purchase the EF-S [Read more...]

October 29, 2015 Canon EOS M3 Review

The EOS M has long been the “red-headed stepchild” of Canon’s camera lineup. Canon wanted a piece of the growing mirrorless system market with their DSLR-like sensors and miniature bodies, but when the EOS M came to the market in June of 2012 it felt a step behind the competition in many ways. It was […] [Read more...]

June 29, 2015 Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS Review

Several years ago I did a light review of the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM.  Since that point it has become a staple in my own kit, so I thought I would publish a new review of this lens with the benefit of several years of experience with the lens on multiple continents and […] [Read more...]

June 12, 2015 Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Review

Canon has made a habit in recent of years of not building the lenses that we all guess they are going to build while often announcing and then swiftly releasing lenses that few people expected.  After Canon refreshed a number of its smaller, non-L series primes (24mm, 28mm, and 35mm) with critically acclaimed (and image [&helli [Read more...]

May 29, 2015 Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Image Gallery

If you are looking for a gateway prime to try out what a large aperture fixed lens can do on your camera or are just looking for an inexpensive yet competent 50mm price, then you need to take a long look at the new Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM.  It is an improvement in every […] [Read more...]

May 13, 2015 Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Review

Canon’s top 50mm lens is a surprisingly controversial one. One would think that a well-built, weathersealed 50mm lens with autofocus and a massive, bright f/1.2 aperture would be a home run pick, but there are certain traits of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM that have proven extremely divisive. My time spent with the Canon [&hel [Read more...]
