@StevenAunan convinced me to give this a try. The two lenses are Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 S.S.C. (II) released Jun 1973 and a Canon New FD 28mm f/2.8 released June 1979. I use these on my Canon FTb released March 1971. For this setup my focus was on the forward edge of the cutting block the glass pitcher of flowers is sitting on... 36" from the R5 focal plane. I used the same ISO and only changed the Aperture, then shutter speed. Edited in Lightroom for Camera Neutral for the profile and Auto...

I bought my R10 at the back end of 2024, with the 18-45 kit lens, as that was the best financial option at the time. A year and a half later, I found that lens a bit limiting, and I also had a gap in focal length once I bought the 100-400. Now I have the 18-150, and its the perfect walkround lens. These are straight out of the camera, no post production.

I have been intrigued about this lens every since it was announced. Was waiting for the R7II ? Nothing so far. My local camera store had the 24-105 on sale. Now I own the 24-105 2.8. First impressions. Pared with the R5. Spent a few hours at Washington Park-Arboretum Seattle. This is a super lens for landscape photography. The only drawback? Fairly heavy to pack around. The 100-500 is lighter. If you are thinking of getting this lens. I did and love it. I am more of an artistic sort of...

Comparing two adapted 58mm lenses on the R5 Mark II. Edit: I manually added lens metadata with the Exif Editor Tool from the Apple App Store, but it isn't showing up here. Minolta MC Rokkor PF 58mm f/1.4 (SR mount, $76 from KEH) Helios 44m-4 58mm f/2 (EF mount, $100 from Ebay / Ukraine) I like the Minolta colors better, and the bokeh is smoother. The Helios seems to be a bit sharper, or maybe the background separation is just different and it looks sharper to me. (All images exported from...

I love the Sigma 17-40 with my R7! I considered the Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 before buying the Sigma 17-40 f1.8. It’s fairly expensive at $919 which is $260 more than the 18-50. The 18-50 has more reach but I preferred the 1-1/3 brighter aperture of the 17-40. I was also sold on the internal focusing and build quality of the 17-40. It’s quite sharp wide open at all apertures from the center to the corners. In some comparison tests the 17-40 out-performed some of Sigma’s prime lenses. Plus, I found...

DxO Nik v9 has been released. You can learn more about it from Dave Kelly and Robin Whalley. DxO Nik web site link. :) Phil

My R7 firmware is now 1.8.0. I’ve been using it for about a month with no issues. https://www.usa.canon.com/support/canon-product-advisories/Firmware-Notice-EOS-R7-Firmware-Version-1-8-0?srsltid=AfmBOorDozm72nGMErFDPQjwBWmhAw_rMh7MXpjMgeAY0YEHCTih2u9W

What is everyone's thoughts on the viability of the R3 in 2026? I may have the opportunity to pick up a used R3 at a good price. Though it's supposed to be in only fair condition. I haven't seen it yet and don't know what the shutter count is. Is the R3 a worthwhile addition to an R6 mkII in 2026? I'm probably not going to replace the R6 mkII anytime soon, so this will be in addition to. I like the form factor, the integrated grip, larger battery, and the 195fps seems like it could be...

Hi I have Canon R8 and plan a trip to Italy (Veneto region) & Paris. I have 3 RF lenses : RF 24-105 f/4 L IS USM, RF 14-35 f/4 L IS USM and RF 100mm f/2,8 L IS USM Macro I do not plan to bring the Macro lens, but I am wondering if only take the 14-35 was a good idea. My prefered focal lenght is 35mm, so I am covered with both of them. What do you think ? Is taking only one of them is a good idea or bring both? I do not like to switch gear, so when out, I will only take one of them. Note...

This was a surprise. I was checking out Canon accessories and spotted this. I've been using mostly the Slide and the Lite for small lenses for about 8 years and I didn't know this. Must be pretty recent. Canon would have to be pretty confident to endorse that company which still appears to be independent. I've never had a single issue. I changed the anchors after about 5 years even though they showed no wear...

I finally decided to subscribe to EOS Magazine after seeing mention of it here and there. The photos are a brilliant source of inspiration, with useful information such as the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO used for the given conditions. It was refreshing to see the article on Street life featuring a photographer who uses a 5D MK3 and a 60D, so clearly the emphasis is on the photos. But there is a good balance of product reviews and Canon tech information. This season, I hope to find my...

If I'm not mistaken now Firefly is included in your monthly credits. Not sure if 15.2 offered that.

I joined this site to learn more about cameras, photography, composition, etc., but it turns out that there is much, much more. I’ve learned about birds, flowers, plants, architecture, philosophy, art, and more stuff than I can remember. This place is a bargain. Waaaay better than some of the self anointed experts on You Tube I used to watch.

A brand new R6 MK2 arrived this morning. I charged the battery to 100%, green light, formatted the v90 SD card, and updated the firmware to 1.6. All good! The first sign of trouble was attempting to change the time zone after entering date and time - the screen went black. After turning the camera back on, the select a language page was presented, then the page to enter a password. Set! Next came a re-enter password page where entering one number caused the screen to go black. Turn off/turn...

or FOMO. Taking a trip from Oregon to Borrego Springs for a few days and I think I have everything I need. 2 mirrorless camera 5 RF lenses covering 15mm-500mm 4 film lenses (28mm, (2)50mm, and 135mm) 2 film cameras (3 rolls of film Fujifilm Acros 100II and Kodak Ektar 100) 2 remote shutter releases 3 tripods ND filters (3-6-10) CP Skylight filter (for film camera) Red 25A filter 5 batteries for Canon Mirrorless and of course 2 backpacks (26L and 40L)

I'll (hopefully) be upgrading to a Canon R6 III in the next week or 2, for video as much or more than still photography. I Currently have both R8 and R7 (with kit 18-150 as only crop lens). For common sense sake of having a back up camera as well as my partner wanting to learn to shoot I want to keep one of them but I'm having trouble deciding which to sell and which to keep R7 has much better battery life and no over heat issues as well as an actual shutter and feel less toy like, but...

I currently have a Sigma 150-600 Contemporary, which I adapt to my R5 with pretty good results. It’s great for times when I’m at a specific location and usually a monopod, but I’ve been thinking about getting the RF 100-400 as a lighter option to have when hiking with my wife. I know it’s not a super bright lens, but have heard it has pretty good IQ. Seems like with the R5 there would be lots of room to crop when needed. Just wondering if anyone here has that lens with an R5 and what...

When I choose a flexible zone my EOS R5 mark II, and I press the rate button I cannot modify the flexible zone. I cannot find the answer on the internet Thanks in advance for your kind help.
