A light at the end of the tunnel? I spoke to someone at NAB last week about the yet-to-be-officiall-announced EF 200-400 f/4L IS 1.4x. I was told that the lens is now “expected to arrive in the fall of 2013.

Below is a spec list put together from various sources that have written in. All of it seems plausible and almost expected. What to expect from the EOS 70D. 18mp Sensor (Same as SL1) DIGIC V (no one has…

Is this your next 35mm lens? With Canon being slow in replacing their decade old EF 35mm f/1.4L with new technologies, Sigma has stolen a ton of hype from both the Canon & Nikon sides with the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM. Is this the best 35mm autofocusing lens you can buy for Canon at this time? It just might be. There’s a couple of drawbacks, but for the money, I think you’d be hard pressed not to at least consider this wonderful lens from Sigma. Says Justin “The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 is the finest lens I’ve ever used from…
