Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens review with samples
Christopher FrostHere's the newest kit lens that is sometimes packaged with Canon's EOS M mirrorless cameras (as such, it will not work on a digital SLR...well, not without an enormous amount of hacking). Is it any good, especially on the strenuous 24mp sensor of a Canon EOS M3?

Canon Drop-in Filter Mount Adaptor EF-EOS R review
Christopher FrostI actually really love this thing...if only its price wasn't so insanely and unnecessarily ridiculous. I'm tempted to contact Canon's press team to ask them why it costs so much...but they'll just ignore my email as usual haha. As you we see, I actually made this video before I got a Canon EOS R5.

Legacy lenses on EOS R: Canon FD 85mm f/1.2 'L' lens review with samples
Christopher FrostOn rare occasions I get tempted to test out particularly interesting legacy lenses (I don't often have the time to cover many of them, though).

Weird lens reviews: Canon FD 35-70mm f/4 AF (Canon's first autofocus lens)
Christopher FrostHere's one that's really out there: Canon's first autofocus lens is a bit of a clunky monster, how on earth will it perform on a modern camera, and is it fun to use?
