Don’t worry about sacrificing lens quality because of your budget. Dave from TCSTV tested out three of the best budget-friendly Canon lenses, so you can find your perfect lens without breaking the bank. The Canon RF 24-105mm f4-7.1 IS STM, the Canon RF 100-400mm f5.6-8 IS USM and the Canon RF 800mm f11 IS STM all hold up great against their high-end counterparts. Focusing on the key features to look at when purchasing a lens, Dave’s honest review shows you can get a lot of bang-for-your-buck out of an affordable RF lens. It’ll just be hard not to buy more than one now!

Choosing the best long lens for your DSLR or mirrorless camera system and that matches your shooting style has always been a difficult task. But in recent years the on-going and rapid transition to mirrorless camera systems and the introduction of a lot of new lens technologies has complicated the long-lens selection process even more.

A star tracker can be a handy tool for astrophotography, and I love using my Star Adventurer for widefield nightscapes. Due to the earth’s rotation, we see the stars move when we take long exposure shots of the night sky. How much they move across your frame depends on your focal length, camera resolution, and shutter speed. PhotoPills has a module called Spot Stars which can help you figure out how long you can shoot for to get accurate pinpoint stars or barely noticeable trails.
