NEW: RF 10-20mm f/4 L IS STMWorld's Widest Non-Distorting AF Zoom130.5º undistorted angle of view on full-frame, rear gel filters (only), 20.1 oz./570g, 3.3 × 4.4"/83.7 × 112mm, 0.8'/0.25m close focus (from image plane; focuses almost up to the front surface of the lens), 0.12× macro ratio, 9-blade diaphragm stops down to f/22. Wow! World's first 10mm full-frame AF zoom! This is insane! Ultra-ultra wides are extremely difficult to use, and if you know how, no other AF zoom goes this wide. There have been off-brand fixed or manual-focus lenses this wide, but nothing ever dedicated to a real camera system with this level of performance and modern electronic communication. This is not a lens for carrying around your neck all day because there is no way to use front protective filters. Therefore, like the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8, you constantly have to be vigilant in protecting the front element against everything. Not only is it unprotected, but due to the extremely deep depth of field of ultrawide lenses, any damage to the front element will be seen in your pictures. You can scratch or have dirt or fingerprints on a tele and no one will notice, but you will see what's on your front element in your pictures with lenses this wide. I'm serious; a small fingerprint smudge will show up as a slightly darker region in the sky and its a bear to try to fix later. Be careful and be clean. For most uses I prefer the much more practical RF 14-35mm f/4 L IS USM which takes normal 77mm filters and caps, and now Canon has broadened our perspective beyond anything ever seen in serious photography for those who need the widest of the wide. While 10mm versus 11mm may seem like just one silly millimeter, it's significantly wider than the previous world wide leader, the EF 11-24mm f/4 L USM, and adds image stabilization. In-camera stabilization doesn't work well in the corners of ultrawide lenses for geometric reasons, so it's crucial that this lens has optical stabilization. Geometry requires a sensor to move over twice as far in the corners than in the center to compensate for the same angular displacement with a 10mm lens, which sensors can't do. Only with a tele or a fisheye does image displacement remain the same across the sensor for the same angle of lens shift; with ultrawides the sides and corners are displaced more with motion than in the center. Therefore it's magnificent that this lens has optical stabilization. I show this in my review of the unstabilized Sony 14mm f/2.8; the corners can't be well stabilized with sensor shifting alone. Here's another crazy great thing about the new RF 10-20mm f/4 L IS STM: it's about the same and weight as the small RF 14-35mm f/4 L IS USM and weighs only two-thirds as much as the RF 15-35mm f/2.8 L IS USM and it's smaller, too! Check price, also at Adorama and at Crutchfield. 11 October 2023 |

RF 85mm f/1.2L USM DS82mm filters, 41.9 oz./1,187g, 2.8'/0.85m close focus, 1:8.3 (0.12×) macro ratio. What? A second 85/1.2? This 85 DS is no BS: it means "Defocus Smoothing" which means this is an ultra-bokeh (soft, smooth background) lens. It's ultra-ultra sharp, and the defocussed parts are extra smooth and creamy. Its images look three-dimensional because of the huge contrast between sharp subject and soft background. 20 August 2020 |
