A little over a year ago I spent some time with my first Laowa Argus lens. The Argus series is a more premium line of prime lenses that to this point have all had the extreme maximum aperture of F0.95. …
Lenses with huge maximum apertures have become a little more common in recent years as newer technologies paired with a little more room for experimentation due to the proliferation of mirrorless cameras. Mirrorless cameras have proven to be more accessible…

I’ve noted in many previous Canon RF mount reviews that the new RF mount seems to have really unlocked a new wave of creativity from Canon. Historically Canon has been a very conservative company that could be relied on to…

As you probably know, I review a wide variety of lenses. I’ve increasingly found myself reviewing lenses from brand-new lens makers in recent years. It seems like the rise of mirrorless cameras in particular has triggered a lot of fresh…
In 2020 I’ve been doing a series of long term review of lenses that have managed to stay in my own personal kit for years on end. I evaluate these lenses using my current review techniques and with the unique…
At the beginning of this year I was delighted when Samyang released the Samyang AF 14mm F2.8 lens in an RF mount. It was an autofocusing lens (and one that autofocuses very well on the Canon EOS R that I…

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…
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…
Nearly 5 years ago Canon released its first prime lens to include a new technology called Blue Spectrum Refractive Optics. When I reviewed that lens – the Canon EF 35mm F1.4L II – I concluded that it was the best…
