Canon EOS R5

23 Apr 2026 · Lens Review

An f/1.4 at 14mm is genuinely unusual — this is one of the fastest ultra-wides you can put on a mirrorless body, which makes it a serious tool for astrophotography, event work in dark venues, and environmental portraits where you want subject separation at an absurdly wide angle. Frost's review is worth your time if you're deciding whether to stretch for this over the cheaper RF 14-35mm f/4.

NASA's camera testing process is essentially the most brutal real-world reliability audit any body will ever go through, and the results are worth knowing. The Canon R5 came through with no critical failures. The Nikon Z7 II didn't finish testing at all, knocked out by connectivity issues inside the vacuum chamber. And despite having newer mirrorless options on the table, NASA strapped a Nikon D5 to Artemis II because it already had ISS hours logged and high-ISO performance that holds up where it counts. The practical takeaway for working photographers isn't about space. It's about what actually survives when manufacturer specs meet real environmental stress. SanDisk led on card reliability too, if you're the kind of person who reads footnotes before a big job.

If you're sitting on an R5 and wondering whether the Mark II upgrade is worth the spend, this is the test that actually matters. Tigers in India aren't a controlled studio environment — they're fast, unpredictable, and don't repeat. That's exactly the kind of real-world pressure that separates genuine autofocus improvements from marketing claims. The R5 Mark II costs serious money, and a side-by-side field report from someone who's used both on the same shoot is worth ten spec comparisons.

Tamron's 35-100mm f/2.8 is a smaller, lighter, cheaper alternative to the 35-150mm f/2-2.8, available for Sony and Nikon mirrorless mounts. Jared Polin puts both lenses head-to-head to map out what the trade-offs actually look like in practice.

Jared Polin puts the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN II Art head-to-head with the Sony 35mm f/1.4 G and Viltrox 35mm f/1.4, with the Sigma coming in at a lower price point than the Sony native option.
