Many of the new RF-mount lenses have been ultimate performers with big price tags, but fortunately there are a few “everyman” lenses on the platform, too. One of those is arguably the most practical: the Canon RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM. This is the perfect lens for those who aren’t a fan of ch [Read more...]
I recently began a series of long term reviews to explore the lenses that have lasted in my personal kit and continue to be favorites. One of the top lenses that I continue to feel is special is the Canon EF 35mm F1.4L II – a lens I labeled the best non-super-telephoto lens in Canon’s […] [Read more...]
Here’s a bit of irony: the lens that has stayed in my kit the longest (nearly 10 years) is one that I’ve never reviewed…for the simple reason that it was already an old friend by the time I started doing lens reviews! I had an open slot in my schedule, however, and decided that I […] [Read more...]

From the beginning of Canon’s move into full frame mirrorless, it was clear that the strength of the platform is in its lenses. Being unshackled from the limitations of the EF mount (which debuted in 1987!!!) has unleashed all kinds of fresh creativity from Canon, and within just a relatively brief period since the l [Read more...]
I delivered a verdict on the Canon EOS R full frame mirrorless camera last year, but Canon wasn’t quite finished. Canon has continued to support the EOS R and expand it’s capabilities via firmware. This includes vastly improved Eye AF real-time tracking (which now lags only behind Sony but is better than [Read more...]
The Canon R system (full frame mirrorless) launched with four lenses in the new RF mount and has subsequently had a fifth announced. Those lenses have an average MSRP in the USA of $1919, so this is most definitely NOT a budget lineup. If you remove the less expensive RF 35mm F1.8 Macro IS STM […] [Read more...]
