Hi everyone. On the Canon front it has been somewhat of a slow season, with more rumors and hopes than actual product releases. On the Sony side of things, however, it has been a very busy season. I've wrapped up my long term coverage of those interested in the a73. I’ve wrapped up my...

I’ve released my content on the Sigma 14-24 ART today, which I consider to be perhaps Sigma’s finest work yet. Very few flaws that I could see, and outstanding results when paired with either my 5D Mark IV or Sony a7R3. Text Review: http://bit.ly/sigma1424ART Video Review...

Hi everyone. I've recently moved to the BenQ SW271 photo editing monitor after reviewing it and finding it pretty much fantastic for my work. Check out the video review here: http://bit.ly/benqsw271 It's not cheap, but it packs a lot of punch and has beautiful accuracy. It's made a lot of...

Hi everyone, I've just spent a lot six+ weeks deeply reviewing (and comparing) the Sony a7R3. Text Review: http://bit.ly/a7R3review Video Review: http://bit.ly/a7R3Sony Video Playlist: http://bit.ly/SonyA7r3da Image Gallery: http://bit.ly/Sonya7R3ig Bottom line: I'm adding one...

Just wanted to share linkage from my most recent review – the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DN lens. If you have Sony E-mount (APS-C) or M43, this is a pretty compelling lens. Text Review: http://bit.ly/sig16DN Video Review: http://bit.ly/16mmDNyt Image Gallery: http://bit.ly/16mmCimage Nice build...

Hi everyone, I’ve wrapped up my coverage of the new Canon 85mm f/1.4L IS. It’s a solid lens from Canon, but faces some stiff competition. I’ve done a lot of comparisons to other lenses as a part of this series, and I feel confident in my conclusions after all of that. Written Review...

Hi everyone. I've released my final bit of coverage of the new Tamron 100-400 VC lens. I benchmarked the Canon 100-400L II (which I own and love) for this review. The Tamron 100-400 VC is a very impressive lens at this price point, giving about 90-95% of the Canon 100-400L II all-round...

Hi everyone - I launched my final coverage of the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 ART today. It's an interesting lens, though the days of inexpensive options from Sigma seem to be behind us. Text Review | http://bit.ly/14ARTabbott Video Review | http://bit.ly/14ARTReview Image Gallery |...

Hello, everyone. I released my final video review of the Rebel SL2 today (I don't know if it is worth investing the time to do a full text review). I try to detail what's good about the camera, but keep coming back to the fact that other than being slightly smaller than the t7i/800D it really...

I’ve finished up my coverage of the new Canon EOS 6D Mark II, and my findings are now live. Text Review: http://bit.ly/6DIIDA Video Review: http://bit.ly/6DMarkiiDA Image Gallery: http://bit.ly/6DMK2ig Quick summary: a good camera that could/should have been a better camera.

Hi everyone, I spent about a month with the new Zeiss Milvus 35mm f/1.4 prior to its full release here in North America and did a lot of direct comparisons with the Canon 35L II, a lens I consider to be Canon's best non-tele prime. Here is the coverage: Text Review: http://bit.ly/milvus1435DA...

Hello, everyone. Tamron Canada got me a retail copy of the new Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 VC HLD lens to review, and I've got my conclusions here: Text Review: http://bit.ly/18400HLDda Video Review: http://bit.ly/18400HLD Image Gallery: http://bit.ly/Tam18400IG It seems to me that Tamron...

After I did my review of the Sigma 135mm f/1.8 ART (http://bit.ly/ART135DA) I got feedback from a number of end users who felt that the copy I tested wasn't representative of the potential performance of the lens. I brought in a second copy of the 135 ART and put it back up against the Zeiss...

Hi everyone, Today I went live with both my written and video reviews of the new Sigma 100-400mm Contemporary lens. It is a much better lens than I expected – pleasantly surprised! Video Review: http://bit.ly/100400CDA Text Review: http://bit.ly/100400CDLA Image Gallery...

There's no doubt that these two lenses represent the best available to Canon shooters at the 135mm focal length. I spent some time comparing the Sigma 135mm f/1.8 ART head to head with the Zeiss Milvus APO Sonnar 135mm f/2...and here's what I found: <iframe width="560" height="315"...

Hi everyone - for a change of pace from all the huge primes everyone seems to be making I thought I would spend some time with the little Voigtländer 40mm f/2 pancake lens, though they seem to becoming harder to source here in North America. I used it on a 5D Mark IV, 6D, 80D, and a Sony a7R...
