Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM Image Gallery

Canon EF 70-300mm f IS II USM Image Gallery Opinions have wavered on this new affordable telephoto lens from Canon, but I’ve been anxious to test it for myself. The operation of the lens is excellent, and I’m extremely impressed…
Canon EF-M 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM Review

New EF-M mount lenses have been fairly few and fair between, but 2016 saw two very solid lenses released: the EF-M 28mm f Macro IS STM lens (my review here) and this lens, the Canon EF-M 18-150mm f-6.3 IS…
Oben CT-3535 Carbon Fiber Tripod + BE-208T Ball Head Review

When most most people enter into photography they tend to be more focused on the obvious; cameras and lenses. That’s as far as many go, but if you become more invested in photography there are a few essentials that…
Canon EOS M5 Review

Canon’s venture into mirrorless has had mixed success. The EOS M cameras have largely been critical flops despite having some unique strengths largely due to arriving with limited feature sets when compared to the competition. Canon has also really lagged…
Picturing Arizona: A Photo Gallery of the Southwest

Picturing Arizona I live in Eastern Ontario, Canada. You can see into the Province of Quebec across the Ottawa River from my house. While it is white and cold out there at the moment, there are many times throughout the…

Sigma 12-24mm f/4 ART Review

Sigma’s recent ART series has primarily been dominated by wide aperture primes along with a few unique, wide aperture zooms. The one exception previously has been the Sigma 24-105mm f/4 OS. The Sigma 12-24mm f/4 DG HSM ART lens take…
Canon EF-M 18-150mm IS STM Image Gallery

New lenses for Canon’s mirrorless system have been somewhat few and far between, but the Canon EF-M 18-150mm f IS STM that launches with the new EOS M5 camera is the second this year (first being the rather excellent little 28mm…
Canon EOS M5 Image Gallery

Has Canon finally gotten mirrorless right? That’s the question on all of our minds as the Canon EOS M5 is released. At first glance everything seems mostly positive. The camera now has a rapid burst rate, built in EV-F, and…
Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART Review

I’ve been covering the Sigma ART series since early on (I actually covered the 50mm f before the 35mm f, but I’ve basically only missed the 24mm f in the entire series), but there is one focal length that more…
Peak Design CapturePro Review

Part of what I do as a reviewer is connect with different brands. I enjoy the process of building a relationship and getting a sense of a company. When I began a new partnership with Simons Camera (a retailer in…
