    I added the first time the workhorse... Canon´s RF 70-200mm L IS USM: Stellar Performer.....

    Why? Normally I refused to have "the holy trinity". I want to be different, having more options and to be able to break the barriers of the gold standard of this industry. That's why I have Zeiss lenses which not everybody has and why I love to shoot with f1.4 glass - or even faster. The...

    Another weather sealed decent performer from Samyang/Walimex/Rokinon for RF- (and Nikon Z-)Mount: the MF 14mm f2.8

    My Verdict: a Highly recommended lens. After first slight disappointment: Knowing the lens since a couple of years this copy is confirming the good things I know about this lens - but I have to give the quality assurance department in Samyang the task to check the lenses they give out a bit...

    Samyang send me the 2 new lenses for RF for testing (Well, i was a bit astonished by the way). I took the lens around and made some test shots, comparing it with my Zeiss Milvus as well as the Canon EF 85mm f1.4 L IS USM. This is my verdict about this lens: After first mixed feelings: I am...

    Shortly after my New England trip -where I made the road trip with the EF-M 32mm f1.4 - my first RF lens was delivered: The RF 35mm f1.8 IS STM. Therefore the next Idea was to take this lens with me - together with the EF 85mm f1.4 L IS USM and the Milvus 15mm f2.8. Quite a nice combo.... Well...

    Road trip with Canon´s EF-M 32 f1.4 on the EOS M5 - This lens gives the M-Mount a new dimension....

    Some background of the idea how to use this combo... When I was little my stepdad has shown us dials from his travel to "exotic" countries. These were images from Turkey, Egypt and Kenia. He visited those countries in the late fifties of the last century. He had maybe 2 or 3 films with him and...

    Canon EOS-R or How Canon Nailed the Entrance into the Mirrorless FullFrame Market

    Maybe a bit provocative title of my review of the EOS R. I have it in use since almost 3 weeks now. I am really excited about this camera! Here is my verdict: Wow, what a camera... It delivers all what I expected to get. Using the EOS M5 since almost 2 years as my main travel camera I knew...

    Today I got my new 85mm f1.4 L IS USM. I made some first sample shots - and I am blown away by this lens. It is really sharp wide open. I could not find any CA. The Bokeh is just wonderful: smooth like butter - and no onion type stuff. IS works well... What do I want more? I will prepare a...

    Canon´s 35mm lenses f1.4L-II & f2.0 IS vs Zeiss Milvus 1.4/35mm realworld review

    Zeiss was so nice to send me the brand new Milvus 1.4/35 mm for review purposes. I did review the Milvus 85 f1.4 as well as the 50mm f1.4. Both are excellent glass and I guess the people like the way how I do the reviews... To have a lens just of 2 weeks is a very short period of time. And the...

    Yeah! Today I got the newest Member ob the Milvus Lens family from Zeiss for reviewing.... The first feeling is ... just another Milvus... (Having 3 Milvus Lenses ist the best thing to say about!!!!) It feels just awesome. But unlike the 85 and the 50f1.4 the 35mm has strong competition:the...

    EF-M 28mm f3.5 IS USM a unique lens on the market - exclusively for EOS-M!

    The Canon EOS-M System was in a kind of try and error phase for a pretty long time. No competitive bodies and very little amount of glass. The situation had completely changed for the bodies with the wonderful EOS M5 which I reviewed a couple of month ago. But what´s about the glass? So far just...

    I made a review about these 2 lenses. Theses are controversary, to some extend extrem. But Let us start with my verdict: I will not answer the question in the title. I think everybody sees clearly: yes the Milvus 50mm f1.4 is an excellent lens. It is the best 50mm I know and meanwhile I own...

    Are there other 3rd native EOS-M Lenses coming up??? F.i. Zeiss, Sigma etc???

    With the M5 Canon becomes serious for mirrorless cameras - and great, too - I love my EOS M5!!! But there is not much glass available yet. Aside of the really good Samyang 12mm f2.0 there is no other lens manufacturer supporting the EOS M-mount. I would like to see with an EOS-M-Mount...

    I am using the EOS M5 since a couple of days. When starting to check my images I realized that the M5 does not get the informations in this case for a Zeiss Milvus 50mm f1.4. A Canon 7DMk2 is able to read these data....
