This type of camera provides an optical viewfinder using a system of mirrors to allow phographer to see through the lens as compated with a &#8216;Mirrorless&#8217; camera that provides a hi-res digital display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using my new Canon EOS 7D fitted with a 200mm f\/2.8 prime lens, I made this view of TTC CLRVs (Canadian Light Rail Vehicles) plying the city\u2019s streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bright red cars made for striking subjects on a dull June day marked by intermittent rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
