Short answer, yes. Or maybe it would be better to say “it should be”. Canon’s newest RF lenses made for the EOS R series of mirrorless cameras are crazy expensive but as with nearly everything Canon makes it will hold its value for years to come.

The unboxing! My first look – awesome lens. I’ve only wanted one of Canon’s white lenses since 1978!

Canon “L” lenses are weather-sealed against moisture and dust. This RF lens is not an internal zoom lens but that’s what makes it so compact for a 70-200mm zoom. By the way, these Canon lenses are still made in Japan.

Hope the weather takes a turn for the better soon (cold and wet) so I can grab some shots with my new lens. Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for the “exciting” first images. – Chris

An image of my dad’s favorite camera coming out of my Canon PRO-100 printer.

The image as its printing. A 13 x 19 inch (A3+) hi-res image of my dad’s Pathfinder 110 camera.

In addition to the cameras, lenses, and other photo gear that I sell in my online camera shop at http://www.ccstudio2380.com, I also have made to order color and black and white prints of some of the cameras in my collection. Shown here is an image being printed for a customer. These large (I can print all sizes) prints are stunning as the Canon printer uses archival inks printed on high-quality Canon photographic paper and are suitable for framing.

Here’s a photograph of my original NY Mets World Series ticket from the first WS game ever played at Shea Stadium in 1969 (the Mets won BTW) being printed for a customer.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to drop me a line as I may have just what you’re looking for. – Chris
