Canon has FINALLY released a full frame mirrorless camera – the Canon EOS R. They have also launched a new lens mount – the RF. While many people advocated for Canon to retain the EF mount, early development for the…

Sigma has faced a bit of an uphill battle with the FE versions of their ART series if the anecdotal feedback I have received is a valid indicator of the market. Size matters, and the ART series lenses were already…

Wide angle lenses and filters are a bit of a nightmare. One of the main challenges many photographers have to consider is that using anything but the bare lens involves expense, bulk, and inconvenience. Lenses with less focal lengths and…
