Canon RF 24-50mm f/4.5-6.3 Samples + Review

Hello everyone, I bought a cheap used RF lens the other day, the 24-50mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM.  It’s a kit lens (very basic starter one) that they bundle with the R8.  It’s a full frame lens, with a wide to normal field of view, but designed for lightweight travel and portability.  Meaning it really compromises […]

Canon R8 + Nikon 105mm f/1.4 vs Nikon D700 + 200mm f/2

I have enough material from work level stuff to post this quick comparison.  Not to show which one is “better,” but to just simply show the image rendering and bokeh that one can get with these two setups. The idea for this came from the Lunar New Year at Stone Mountain, as I wanted to […]

It’s all manual focus, manual aperture via the adapter’s ring, and no VR, but you know I think it’s workable for me. I have like 20 years experience with this lens on my native Nikons so it’s only a […]
