Follow me as I head to the coast for some bird photography with the Canon R3 & EF 500mm F4 L IS Mk II Lens. I was eager to see how the R3 and Prime lens performed together, and I must say I was very impressed. Plus I get to check out my new Vallerret Skadi Zipper Mitt PSP.

In this video I share my thoughts and experiences of using the Canon 85mm F1.8 lens on my full frame Canon DSLR cameras. I have been using this lens since 2005 and talk through my way of working, why this lighter lens suits my style better than the more expensive 85mm L lens, I discuss whats good and bad about the lens in 2022.

Choices, choices. Actually there's not much of a serious choice, here.
