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

Here are a series of galleries of images taken during my review period of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM lens.  This “Cadillac” of Canon’s 50mm lens has an amazingly bright f/1.2 aperture and is a beautiful portrait/fine art lens.  I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using it.  There is a gallery of imag [Read more...]

April 27, 2015 Three Way Shootout Part 4: Flare, Astro, and Conclusions

We are now approaching the finish line!  I have taken nearly 800 photos as a part of this review process in a variety of settings (this on top of the hundreds previously I had taken during my review period of the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM  and  Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Lens  […] [Read more...]

April 20, 2015 Three Way Shootout Part 3: Angle of View, Distortion, and Bokeh

Our time with these three lenses has certainly demonstrated how far development has come in the past few years in the wide angle zoom department.  Our comparison of these three lenses has certainly favored the newer Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS along with the Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD, but this week’s compari [Read more...]

April 13, 2015 Three Way Shootout Part 2: Resolution

This article will seek to examine what is probably the single biggest burning question for us all:  can the Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD live up to the superlative standard for sharpness (particularly in the corners) set by the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS?  I first want to give a shout-out to Tamron of […] [Read more...]

April 9, 2015 Three Way Shootout Part 1: the Lenses

When I did my review of the Tamron 15-30mm VC last month, I did it without the benefit of having its direct competition (at least in a Canon mount) on hand. The review period was quick because of the demand for review pre-release copies and so I didn’t have a chance to get the competitors […] [Read more...]

February 4, 2015 Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L II Gallery

Here is an image gallery to accompany the review of the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM II.   There are a number of sample galleries here, including photos of the lens, general shots taken with the lens, and even a few shots of other lenses that I took with it.  A very impressive telephoto that […] [Read more...]

February 4, 2015 Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM II Review

Great First Impressions Confession: this was one of my most anticipated lens reviews of the year (Tamron’s upcoming 15-30mm f/2.8 VC is another). This lens has been referred to as “the unicorn” in various internet forums because it has been long rumored but never seen “in the wild”. But it has finally arrived, and my [ [Read more...]

January 7, 2015 Canon EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Review

The Elephant in the Room Before we can get to the “what” of this lens, we first have to pause to answer the “why” of this lens, as the first question for many when they become aware of this lens is, “Doesn’t Canon already have one of those?“ Yes, in a way. The Canon EF […] [Read more...]
