Camera and Lens Tests

In a continual pursuit to find not only the best, but most affordable wide angle lens for Canon, I have finally come to the Tokina 16-28 f/2.8.  I am fairly certain that at least for the time being, this is going to be my wide angle zoom of choice. I had previously purchased and raved […]

I recently ran into an issue with my beloved Canon 35mm 1.4 L lens. After many years of exceptional quality and loyal service, it started to back focus when photographing an object or subject from that was more than 3 meters away. I find the 35mm focal length to be essential for wedding photography.. especially […]

  Ever since the Canon 70-200mm 2.8 IS L II came out I have been dying to get my hands on one and compare it to the original Canon 70-200mm 2.8 IS L.  I had been looking for some good reviews and comparisons.  I was able to find a few good head to head reviews, […]

Hi everyone!  I just got my Canon 5D III yesterday and was so excited I just had to take some pictures to try it out and give a little review of what I have found so far!  I have to say… compared to the Canon 5D II I am very impressed with the camera so […]

I have put together a lens comparison test of the Canon 16 – 35 L II and the Tamron 17 –  35 2.8 – 4.0.  I was in the market for quite a while looking for a lens which would satisfy this zoom range.  I initially tried the Canon 17 – 40 L but I […]
