    The same lens (same optical formula, same MTF curves) is also sold under the Cheecar brand, in addition to Pergear, 7Artisans, and now...

    Indeed. I had a Rokinon 14/2.8 for EF, which was a good copy that I got after returning the first one. That's only one of two lenses...

    Are you letting the camera determine the exposure when you zoom or are you maintaining the same ISO, shutter speed and aperture? When...

    Two totally different beast for different assignments in my books. I would never take a 50-150 to cover a parade or a protest, but I...
  • Exploreshootshare
    I really don't get why so many people want Canon to copy Sony. Don´t get me wrong, some of their newer offerings are great, but yet...

    I can understand preferring the RF 85mm f/1.4L VCM if the RF 85mm f/1.2L feels too big, heavy, or awkward. That would make sense. But I...

    I probably got a bit lucky with my Bower. It's not a perfect lens by any stretch but it is good and consistent. Yes, I recall it also...

    TDP`s page shows that the RF 20-50mm will be another very good lens, optically speaking. Good news for all of us who ordered it ! I...
  • Malm
    Bower is also sold as Rokinon (US) or Samyang (EU). We call them the 'Samyang lottery' due to their poor quality control. Many lenses...

    Perhaps a “world’s first” could be an f/2 zoom with OIS - correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t believe anyone has done an f/2 with...
  • Steve_FR
    I’m a video shooter (but not content creator) I prefer a constant aperture for video…so generally I find myself using the smaller end of...
  • Tom R5R7
    I'm still chugging along with my Bower EF mount 14/2.8 which has 14 elements in 12 groups. A different optical design, of course, given...

    Haha! Thanks for the laugh. That's pretty funny. ;)

    Well, I never visit a city without the 24 TS-E. I hate converging lines, and I am not so fond of cropping 10mm shots. I also have no...
  • Malm
    Sorry, but that isn't a new lens! That is just a known lens with a different label! I saw it first as a Pergear 14/2.8 lens, afterwards...

    My R5 C disagrees. It would also be a perfect lens for the C400 or RED V-Raptor.
  • E
    I think it would need to have IS to distinguish itself from the 28-70 f/2
