There’s no question that Canon has developed some very impressive lenses for their EOS R full frame cameras, and the new EOS R5 and EOS R6 cameras are also impressive. What is also undeniable, however, is that many of the…
Canon has promised us that the new RF mount has created the potential for a lot of new lens innovation and development. There’s certainly been evidence of that, and one of the most intriguing applications has been Canon’s surprisingly compact…

Canon’s new RF mount has unleashed Canon’s creativity and ability to do things they couldn’t before. In the past, one had to choose between wider maximum aperture (EF 16-35mm F2.8L III) or having an image stabilizer (EF 16-35mm F4L IS),…

I was excited about the Canon EOS R5 from the moment it was announced. Finally it seemed that Canon was putting together a truly competitive camera that was ready to show that they were serious about the mirrorless space. The…

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…

Many of the new RF-mount lenses have been ultimate performers with big price tags, but fortunately there are a few “everyman” lenses on the platform, too. One of those is arguably the most practical: the Canon RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS…

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…
