#3 RF 100-300mm f/2.8L IS USM
Richard and I decided to do one of those “Best of 2023” lists for Canon’s new gear that was announced in 2023. As most of you know, Canon had a pretty busy year product-wise, while they didn’t make every segment of our community happy, they did release a lot of great products. Craig’s #3: Canon […]
“Immensely tight grid” a reason for optimism at Sauber
In its final season under the Alfa Romeo name, the Swiss outfit slipped from sixth to ninth in the constructors’ standings after a difficult season with the C43. However, in the background the team has been building towards the arrival of Audi in 2026, with the hiring of former McLaren man Key one of the […]
Internal Zoom RF-S F4.0 lenses
This is a curious patent from Canon. These are without a doubt higher-end lenses and are certainly for APS-C.

F1 2023 has «been my best year»
That was the year Norris made his F1 debut with McLaren, with which he has remained after signing two contract extensions in 2021 and 2022. Although the papaya team had a tough start to the season just gone, its development work helped it go from battling to escape Q1 to regularly being Red Bull’s closest […]
Gear of the Year: Eric’s Choice
Photo: Eric Limer I fell in love with photography as a wordless creative outlet. After over a decade as a professional writer, most recently at Gear Patrol and now at DPReview, it’s unspeakably refreshing to create something without struggling for synonyms or getting tied up trying to articulate. Now and then, I’d order some prints […]
