After testing dozens of X-mount lenses over the past 8 months, I can tell you that not every lens does justice to this camera’s resolution. Some older glass simply cannot keep up with the pixel density. … Read more

Finding affordable autofocus lenses for Canon’s RF mount has been a challenge ever since Canon launched their mirrorless system in 2018.
