A Nikon Shooter’s Canon Sessions (op/Ed)
The Canon EOS 7D is the most interesting Canon camera to me. I am approaching the camera as a Nikon shooter. While my Nikon D90 was in for repair I was loaned the Canon 7D by the one the only Chris Gampat. The effect of the camera on me was mind blowing especially with the Canon 35mm f1.4 and the Canon 50mm f1.4. These two lenses were selected because they fall in line with my shooting style and fondness for prime lenses. The seven days I spent with this gear were phenomenal and educational all at the same time.
Which One: Canon 50mm f1.4 or 85mm f1.8 Lens for Portrait Photography
We’ve reviewed both the Canon 50mm f1.4 and 85mm f1.8 lenses, and they’re both very well worth the money. But which one should be your choice for portrait photography? In this post, we compare both lenses for portrait photography using the Canon 5D Mk II and 7D. So, which one is right for you?
Long Term Review: Canon 50mm f1.4 Lens
We’ve reviewed the Sigma version of this lens, and today we bring you a long term review of the Canon version: a lens that many say cannot touch the Sigma in terms of overall quality. I’ve been testing this lens on both the Canon 5D Mk II and 7D, and though it has had its quirks, it is still a lens worth considering in your lineup of glass. But is it really the right lens for you?
Field Review: Rokinon 85mm F/1.4 (Day 1- Ergonomics)
Manual lenses are great for videographers and for photographers that want that old school feeling when shooting. So when I was thrown the Rokinon 85mm F/1.4 for Canon EF mount, and then told that it was under $300, I was intrigued. Though I already have an 85mm F/1.8, I couldn’t help but think to myself if I would part with my much loved 85mm by the end of the review.

Solving White Balance Issues With the ExpoDisk
“I want to get it all right in camera,” is a statement made by many photographers and is what many actually strive for but sometimes fail at. The ExpoDisk was designed to help remedy those problems just a little bit with white balancing issues. As a cost-effective and highly portable option, it has very quickly become an item that I never forget in my camera bag.

Long Term Review: Canon 24-105mm F4 L IS Lens
Every photographer has a go-to lens that helps them to accomplish their daily tasks. What’s yours? Mine was (and in some ways still is) the Canon 24-105mm F/4 L IS. It has been by my side through paparazzo work, weddings, portraits, events, sports, and it has even been my casual walkaround lens. Used on the many cameras that have passed through my hands during reviews, it has been a mainstay on either my Canon 7D or 5D Mk II: always remaining ready to be used in an instant.
This long term review will cover the two years I’ve spent using this lens and will summarize the faults and strengths of this beloved piece of plastic with the heart of glass.
