The struggle to achieve a salon-quality blowout without experiencing arm fatigue or heat damage is real. Over the past three months, I have put the leading…
Finding a macro lens that truly captures the detail of a subject on the Canon EOS R7 is a balancing act of focal length and sensor crop. Because the R7 uses an APS-C sensor, the 1.6x crop factor turns a standard 100mm macro into a telephoto-macro with an effective reach of 160mm, which can make…
