The Canon RF-S 18-150mm IS STM lens is one of two newly announced lenses that will serve as the “kit” lenses for Canon’s first APS-C cameras that utilize the RF mount. The 18-150mm is the more premium of the two,…
The new Canon EOS R7 is an important addition to Canon’s mirrorless lineup for multiple reasons. First of all it (along with the simultaneously releases R10) help bring APS-C to the Canon RF mount, where lenses like the new 18-150mm…
It was just a few months back that Laowa built on the foundation of the excellent Laowa 100mm F2.8 APO 2x Macro with a new and improved lens specifically designed for mirrorless mounts in the form of the Laowa 90mm…
Tamron has another game changer. This is how I felt about the Tamron 35-150mm F2-2.8 VXD zoom because it blurred the traditional F2.8 zoom focal ranges (24-70mm and 70-200mm) while also providing a larger than typical maximum aperture. I gave…

Back in May of this year I spent extended time reviewing the Viltrox AF 13mm F1.4 STM for Fuji (on a FUJIFilm X-T4 camera). I concluded that it joined the 85mm F1.8 as one of their best lenses to date…

It was just a few months ago that I was reviewing a much more extreme instrument from TTArtisan – the 50mm F0.95. That lens was designated for use on APS-C, but it did a reasonable job of covering the full…
The original 24mm F1.4 ART was (I believe) the only Sigma ART lens that I missed reviewing at its time of release (in 2015). I rectified that in 2018 when I reviewed the newly released version of the lens for…

Early on photography was a hobby, not a career for me. I engaged with other photographers on Flickr, a place where my collective photos have had 30 million views at this point. In one of the Flickr communities I became…
It was April 2016 when I reviewed Sigma’s first 20mm F1.4 ART lens, a lens designed for full frame DSLRs. I came away very impressed with the optical performance of the lens and felt like the greatest negatives were a…
