Yasuhara Anthy 35mm F1.8 RF Review
With any new camera system there is a vulnerable period where the quantity and quality of lenses available for the system can either make or break its momentum. Canon has been weathering that storm on its “R” full frame mirrorless…

Samyang RF 14mm F2.8 Review
When Canon released the Canon EOS R full frame mirrorless camera last year it arrived with a fair bit of controversy. There were some key areas where Canon lagged behind the competition despite offering some innovation in other areas. My…
Canon RF 50mm F1.2L Review
From the beginning of Canon’s move into full frame mirrorless, it was clear that the strength of the platform is in its lenses. Being unshackled from the limitations of the EF mount (which debuted in 1987!!!) has unleashed all kinds…

Canon RF 50mm F1.2L Image Gallery
I delivered a verdict on the Canon EOS R full frame mirrorless camera last year, but Canon wasn’t quite finished. Canon has continued to support the EOS R and expand it’s capabilities via firmware. This includes vastly improved Eye AF…

Sony a7R IV Review (a7RIV)
The Sony a7RIII was the camera that really made me believe in Sony. It took a deeply flawed camera (though with some great strengths) in the a7RII and turned it into the most complete camera on the market at the…
Sony a7R IV Image Gallery
It’s here! I’ve got a copy of the new 61MP Sony a7R IV in for review. This is Sony’s latest warning shot to Canon and Nikon that they are going to have a HARD time carving up Sony’s vast mirrorless…
Zeiss Otus 100mm F1.4 APO Sonnar Review
There are some things that just don’t make sense on paper. Try to explain to the average photographer why someone would pay thousands of dollars for a fixed focal length manual focus lens in the modern, digital world and they…
Tamron SP 35mm F1.4 USD (F045) Review
There are few lenses more important to any brand’s lineup than a 35mm lens. It will be heavily used by portrait photographers, wedding and event photographers, photojournalists, street, and general purpose. It’s a very versatile focal length, and, unlike most…
Sigma 500mm F4 OS Sport Review
The realm of super-telephotos has been nearly exclusively the domain of the first party lens makers like Canon and Nikon. At the sidelines of most major sporting events you will see a lot of “great whites” (Canons) and a few…
Zeiss Otus 100mm F1.4 Image Gallery
The Otus series is the pinnacle of engineering on the full frame (35mm) space, and I’ve had the opportunity to spend time with each of the previous three releases (1.4/55mm, 1.4/85mm, and 1.4/28mm). Zeiss in venturing a little further into…
Tamron SP 35mm F1.4 (F045) Image Gallery
Tamron has pulled out the stops for its 40th anniversary of their SP brand (Super Performance). The Tamron SP 35mm F1.4 Di USD (F045) is (according to them), the finest optical instrument that they have made. It certainly is a…
Samyang AF 45mm F1.8 FE Review
It feels like Samyang AF has finally arrived…at least on the Sony FE platform! For decades Samyang was limited to producing manual focus only lenses, but a few years back they started to try their hands at the more complicated…
Tamron 17-28mm F2.8 RXD (A046) Review
Tamron released their new 28-78mm F2.8 RXD lens for Sony full frame mirrorless (FE) last year to great fanfare, as it provided a legitimate alternative to the very large and very expensive Sony 24-70mm F2.8 G Master lens. The 28-75…
Sigma 500mm F4 Sport Image Gallery
While I’ve done a wide variety of reviews along the way, I’ve rarely taken on the challenge of reviewing super-teles from any brand. That kind of lens isn’t really a part of my personal workflow, and I feel that the…
