The stuff that hits our inbox about the Canon EOS R7 Mark II and/or EOS R7 V are all over the place. It’s been a while since we’ve had a hard time parsing wishlists with what might actually be true. A couple of days ago we received information from a retailer that we know, but they have had some overzealous employees in the past. No Mechanical Shutter? One of the most interesting and fairly consistent…
If you’re in the market for a Canon RF 100-300mm f/2.8L IS USM and you can order from teh Canon USA store, now is a good time to consider it. It’s quite possible that refurbished prices will also increase eventually if things continue down the same path. It may sound absurd, but $8500 is a steal for this lens. As always, all refurbished gear comes with a full 1-year Canon USA warranty and free standard…
Next week Sigma is going to announced the 17-40mm f/1.8 DC DN and the 12mm f/1.4 DC DN. Both lenses are for APS-C, and are expected to be available in the RF Mount.

It looks like Canon is continuing its R&D into shrinking lenses as much as possible, we have seen multiple patents dealing with the size of lenses, and we’ve seen some small full-frame lenses over the last year such as the RF 28-70mm f/2.8L IS STM and RF 16-28mm f/2.8L IS STM. It makes sense that Canon would bring similar constant aperture APS-C lenses of small stature. The interesting optical design in this patent is a…

As predicted by numerous publications, Sigma has increased pricing in the United States by 10% accross its lineup due to the current tariff situation.
