Leica: Is it really worth the price tag?
No doubt if you have been into photography for any amount of time you have heard of the Leica and the expensive price tag that the name demands. I, like most of you, have never even touched a leica but I assumed the image quality and features were top notch for such a price. That was until I saw these latest rankings courtesy of DxOMark in which the Leica M9, M9 P, and M-E Typ 220 earned really bad scores when compared to other DSLRs.

Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L Mark II Final Review
After extensive use on the field with real life clients, we can honestly say that the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L mark II lives up to its expectation and it is a worthy upgrade to the classic 24-70mm mark I.
Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L Mark 1 VS Canon 24-70 f/2.8 L Mark 2 – Portraiture Comparison
When Canon announced that they would be charging a whopping $2300 for the mk2 version of their 24-70 f/2.8 L lens, and that it would not contain image stabilization, most Canon users were mighty perplexed. It didn't help that Tamron had just announced a stabilized 24-70 f/2.8 the day before Canon's official press release. Kind of a slap in the face for many people who were expecting stabilization especially for such a high price. Also, the previous version of Canon's 24-70 f/2.8 was no slouch, really. It wasn't perfect, but then again you could find one used for $1250!
Canon lens caps join the 21st century!
Lens caps usually don't make headlines, especially on the same day as a new Canon "L" lens and the first-ever stabilized normal prime. But I know there are a handful of Canon users out there who are shouting "FINALLY, CANON!"
5D mk3 AF point illumination: Firmware update coming April 2013?
One of the first things we noticed when we began testing the 5D mk3 was the un-explained, and to be honest downright annoying change in the way AF points illuminated during a "half-press" for autofocus / metering. Basically, ....the focus points don't light up anymore. Not until AFTER focus ins confirmed in one-shot AF, and barely at all in AI-Servo mode.

How a Canon 5D Mark II is Transformed into a Pseduo-Leica
Usually, when one acquires a $6,500 Leica Noctilux 50mm f/1 lens, that’s usually a great thing. The problem for San Diego photographer Robert Brenson is that he did not have a Leica rangefinder body to go with that lens. So then Robert transformed his Canon 5d mkII so it can accept the Noctilux.
