You can see why people don't use the canon 24 mm for astro in that left corner shot. That coma is terrible...

No lens below 24mm is faster than f/2.8. The front element would need to be too large. Sigma is the first ever to make an attempt with the 20 mm f/1.4 but it performs poorly. Most people use a 24 ...

Samyang 24 f/1.4 is probably the best one out there in terms of light collection in a reasonable amount of time. I personally use the Tamron 15-30 since it also makes an awesome landscape lens. The ...

If it is a kit lens then it benefits from mass production price savings. If it wasn't a kit lens I would say $1800 is reasonable, however as a kit lens I would say $1200 stand alone and $1000 as a ...

So essentially you are comparing a 20 year old review to a brand new review and you think it is bias that a lens from 20 years ago that was best in class is not as good as a brand new state of the ...

I'll be interested to see how this lens turns out. I like my current 24-105 as its a good focal length range, however the bokeh, star burst, and sharpness all leave something to be desired. If ...

Mine is silent as well.

Here is the general category of their blogs for tests: http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/category/technical-discussion/restests/ Might have to go through it a bit. https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/20 ...

well at least there is almost no color noise which is nice.

If you can get them for the same price then go for the refurb since you get the warranty. But all in all the warranty is fairly useless. And damage a lens is likely to have wont be covered anyway. ...

What baffles me the most is that in an age when we can store 100 GB of data on a chip the size of a fingernail we are still limited to having 1 or 2 MFA points for a given lens. With the tech we ...

Isn't the D750 2 years newer than the 6D? It looks like 2 years ago the 6D was between $1600-1800 based on CPW prices. Which is exactly what the D750 is at now. They seemed to have launched at the ...

https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2008/12/this-lens-is-soft-and-other-myths/ Every lens and camera combination is different. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't. That is why MFA is on the ...

I bought my canon 100 L refurbed and I love it, it is one of my favorite lenses. It is light, sharp, fast, and the IS works great. You can check out the links in my sig to see some of my shots. ...

The 6D is just as water resistant as every other canon camera. Any exposure to water, even a few seconds will render your warranty void. Even if it doesn't stop working, there will be evidence of ...

Unfortunately that isn't how money works. Just because the yen is worth less now doesn't mean that suddenly everyone is willing to sell canon all the materials and parts for less money. Nope, they ...

Another option is to upgrade your glass. Get a 2.8 lens for better focusing capabilities, and learn to use the limited but still usable outer focus points. The problem with kids is that they move, ...

I like the processed version better. Not sure what 11/12/13 stops of DR has to do with anything though... Clearly exposing for the sky and lifting the shadows was useful here. Looks like the ...

Yes that would be similar to the Tamron and Sigma and doable, 90mm front element instead of 107mm. However I don't know of any canon lens that cheats that much. It would be a departure from what ...

They can certainly do that, but it is more about the amount and size of glass needed. They can only skimp so much. It will need to have a similar amount and size of glass as the 400 f/4 or the 300 ...
