These lenses could technically be used instead of a regular body cap, so you’d have a grab-and-go lens whenever you wanted to take a picture. Other manufacturers have made these, such as the 7artisans 18mm [...]

There was a time when Canon’s lens development was pretty conservative and couldn’t do a good wide angle if they tried (and they did try, [...]

So it would appear that Canon will be releasing a wireless microphone set for the RF system. I would presume it would be similar to the Sony ECMW2BT, only better, because it’s Canon. This would certainly be useful so it will be nice to [...]

Yes, that’s an F-One-Point-Zero. Of course, the only reason it’s allowed on our precious RF mount legally is that it’s manual focus, so, at F1.0, that’s going to provide some challenges. But if you grew up with manual focus lenses [...]
