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 […]

I have like 20 years experience with this lens on my native Nikons so it’s only a […]
