Well, the peripheral area at 24mm looks quite a bit softer, even if you drop the new lens to the matching f/4. At 16, 20, and 28 though, yeah, not a...

Ok the lens image quality comparisons just got posted, and when I look at this lens vs the 14-35 f/4, it's crazy. The color fringing on the L lens is...

So I got a new toy for Christmas and the one day it was nice enough to shoot things, I had my dog (who barks at everything) in the passenger seat. ...

Great photos everyone! Congrats on the Sapsucker Brant...hopefully he poses for you more!

I didn't take the RF 28-70 f/2.8 off my camera more than a few times since I got it. It is now my favorite lens by far. If Canon was to launch a...

I like the direction Canon is headed with these two newest non-L 'prosumer' lenses. Very good IQ (Canon says 'L-series quality') and weather sealing,...

A bird I had not seen before about a month ago. It is finally getting comfortable enough that I can get a few photos Yellow Bellied Sapsucker ...

Yeah, that might be me. I currently have the 14-35 f/4 and the kit 24-105 f/4. They are both great, but I do wish for more light. When the recent...

Yeah, the MTFs are like the L lenses, but lower build quality (plastic vs. metal, worse coatings) and lower focus quality (high-end STM instead of...

Thanks everyone! This is a fun contest and I love seeing all the variety in the entries. Special thanks to Brant for keeping it going!

Congratulations Jonathan! You have the 2024 Image of the Year!!! Great images all year everyone. Thanks to all that participated. It does...

One more day to vote!

I will have a few older images from 2024 that I am clearing out. Here are two that I have loaded up on Flickr from a trip to Stockholm in September...

An afternoon a week ago, I checked my feeder at sunset and there was zero activity, which is really odd. Something in the tree to the left of my...

Great. Thanks Everyone. The consensus is that the monthly competitions are not going away, but the thread will be posted in March. Please...

I'm on board with the quarterly version. Thanks for the work on this!

Good plan, Brant. Thanks for keeping this going and managing the technicalities.

I like the idea of moving it to quarterly.

One more day to vote!

I have been mulling this over and let me know what you think of my plan. I still enjoy the competition and would like to see it continue. I...

I think you are in need of some longer term reviews of the R1, particularly of those that owned the R3. I cannot help you there. The early...

The quest for the best AF and Sensor. Looking at the definition of "need" one of them is this as none of the others really apply: a thing that...

I always advocate that you should shoot to your need. It is pretty easy to see someone with a R3 conclude that their needs are fulfilled.

Thanks As an R5 comparison I think I could have said most of the same things comparing the R3. AF is better with the R3 than the R5 no doubt. I...

Being worth an upgrade from an R3 is pretty specific and personal. If there is something you would like to know, I am happy to give it a go. ...

Honestly not sure yet, since I really haven’t used it. First event I shot in December, I hadn’t finished configuring the R1 so I used the R3. Then...

Thanks everyone!
