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...]

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.

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.

Canon EOS M3 Review
The EOS M has long been the “red-headed stepchild” of Canon’s camera lineup.

It was […] [Read more...]

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS Review

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...]

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...]
