I was very impressed with the size Canon’s surprisingly compact RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM. when I reviewed the lens (my review here). It spoke to a new design philosophy at Canon which values compact size and reduced weight over…

Sometimes lens makers surprise you. Most “connected” photographers have their own ideas of what a lens maker should do, and, as a gear reviewer, I typically hear most of those suggestions. But clearly lens makers often have a different roadmap,…

Tamron has emerged in the last 7 or 8 years as the king of third party zooms. They’ve had a few standout prime lenses (the SP 35mm F1.4 being chief), but where Tamron has made its living has been with…

I’ve been working over the past few years to get up to speed with Fuji’s ecosystem, as I had next to no experience with the platform when Fujifilm Canada approached me with the idea of starting to review Fuji gear. …
Sigma’s 105mm F2.8 Macro lens is perhaps the most popular of it’s pre “ART Series revival” reinvention in 2013. I still get a lot of questions about it today, mostly because it is a good lens with an image stabilizer…

I only began to review Sony products in 2017, and my focus has primarily been upon the newer cameras and lenses released since that point, so I barely missed the Sony FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS, which was released…

One of the unique strengths of the Fuji ecosystem is the wide range of lenses of varying quality and price points specifically designed around the APS-C sensor (in this case a 1.5x crop factor compared to 35mm/full frame). Fuji’s APS-C-centric…

Fisheye lenses are out on the extremes of photography. Whereas often I’m evaluating lenses and critiquing if they have distortion, fisheye lenses are really all about embracing the distortion and using it in creative ways. It’s not for beginners, and…
The Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 VXD is one of the most highly anticipated lenses of 2020…and that became clear from the moment that it was announced. Tamron has taken a different approach to its fast zooms on Sony. Sony’s own zooms…
