Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS Review (indispensable for professionals, D. Abbott)

Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS review

A Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS review by our favorite reviewer. Seems to be another great lens for the EOS R system, and not an inexpensive one.

Dustin Abbott posted his exhaustive Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS review. As usual the review comes with plenty of sample images, test charts, and answers all the questions you might have about this amazing lens. From the conclusion:

Canon was taking an innovative approach to the lens design. I love the 70-200mm F2.8 concept, but I haven’t always loved the bulky package it comes in. The RF 70-200L traveled with me far more often during my review because of the more compact, flexible form factor, and that means it got used more often. I used it for video, for stills, and for tracking action. I took it to church, and on hikes, and to portrait sessions. There is a real value to be had in that, and I applaud Canon taking a chance and reimagining this lens.

I love the look and feel of images from the lens and loved using it.  The stabilization is excellent, the autofocus is exceptional, and the weight and balance of the lens made it easy to use on my Canon EOS R5.  

[…] this is what I would call an indispensable lens for a working professional or hard-core amateur, so sometimes you just have to have that little cry, bite the bullet, and lay down the money.

Canon’s CE-SAT-2B Experimental Satellite Successfully Launched Into Space

CE-SAT-2B

Canon’s CE-SAT-2B Earth-imaging satellite has been launched into space without issues.

The Canon CE-SAT-IIB is a microsatellite equipped with middle-size telescope and an ultra-high sensitivity camera to take night images of the Earth. This time three types of cameras are mounted on the satellite, one of them being a mirrorless camera (EOS M100) and another one a compact camera for wide angle images (PowerShot G9X Mark II).

Spaceflight Now reports:

The largest spacecraft on Wednesday’s mission was CE-SAT-2B, an Earth observation satellite for Canon Electronics of Japan.

The 78-pound (35.5-kilogram) spacecraft is Canon’s third microsatellite to launch, following an experimental Earth-imaging station that launched in 2017 on an Indian PSLV rocket.

A follow-on satellite named CE-SAT 1B launched in July on a previous Rocket Lab mission, but it was destroyed when the Electron rocket failed before reaching orbit.

According to Canon, CE-SAT-2B carries three types of cameras to be demonstrated in orbit.

“With the newly developed super high sensitivity camera, CE-SAT-2B is capable of observing the Earth during night time,” Canon said in a press release. “The satellite is equipped with three types of cameras including Canon’s mirrorless camera and compact digital camera.

“CE-SAT-2B will go through a two-year demonstration experiment for forthcoming production of cassegrain reflectors as series,” Canon said.

Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM Hands-on Review (and comparison with RF 50mm f/1.2)

canon rf 50mm f/1.8 STM

Canon announced the Nifty Fifty for the EOS R last week, and here is a Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM hands-on review.

Photographer Irene Rudnyk tested the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM in the field and compares it with what likely is the top lens for the EOS R system, the RF 50mm f/1.2L (one of the boutique lenses). Please note that images and video were captured on a pre-production model of the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8.

With a price tag of $199 this little lens will sell like hot cakes.

Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM key features:

  • RF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
  • Aperture Range: f/1.8 to f/22
  • One Aspherical Element
  • Super Spectra Coating
