I have all the lenses you mention (also the 35mm/f2.8 and an adapted 70-300). The 28mm is one I don't really use any more. I think that's partly because it's already covered by the 16-35 and the ...

Canon and Nikon are doing the exact same thing Sony did to the SLR line up, stopping new lens designs and focusing on Mirrorless, just 5 years later. Nikon have already abandoned a mirrorless...

Canon was in a better place to make an adapter than either Sony or Nikon, due to Canon having all it's auto-focus lenses using in-lens motors, where as Sony and Nikon have many lenses driven in body. ...

It's not going to stay like that forever. It's aimed at Canon SLR shooters who might be put off Canon mirrorless due to the lack of lenses. I'm sure the goal is to get people to switch and then be ...

I use the Tamron 70-300 USD with the LA-EA3 which I find to be a pretty good option. The images are decently sharp, comparable almost to my native primes. You get continuous AF across the frame ...

It’s not nearly as dramatic on the interchangeable lens camera side, going from 20 million in 2012 to 11 million. It’s disappointing that camera features seem to be failing behind smartphones in ...
