Just last week, we reported on the possibility of a 100-300mm f2. 8 RF lens being released by Canon. This morning Canon USA Inc announced the launch of their new RF 100-300mm F2. 8 L IS USM lens.
Extreme telephotos aren’t easy to find — and a reach like 800mm was just a dream when full frame mirrorless cameras first started trickling out. The new Canon RF 800mm f5. 6 L IS USM changes that, bringing a big reach to the eye-AF-equipped bodies like the EOS R3.
One of the biggest perks of the Micro Four Thirds system is larger zooms in smaller packages. And now that Olympus has re-branded, one of the first moves for OM System, along with a new OM1 flagship mirrorless, is to create the smallest fixed aperture telephoto yet: The OM System 40-150mm f4 Pro.
Telephoto lenses are among the tools that are indispensable for many photographers, especially those who specialize in sports and wildlife photography, and other shooting situations that require the extra reach.
Do you remember when camera companies told us that Mirrorless was the future and that due to advances in technology we can expect smaller cameras, and smaller, lightweight lenses to go along with them? We remember that, but my how things change.
More and more people are using their smartphones as their primary cameras these days, and while they are pretty capable shooters, one thing that really holds them back is the inability to change lenses.
The Christmas and holiday deals keep on rolling in, and this time it is Canon who have dished up some awesome camera deals and discounts on top quality lenses. If you have been eyeing a Full Frame 5D Mk iV you can save $500 on one right now.
