Seems to be popping up more and more the push against back button focus. Some of the arguments and vitriol is just wow. Like people are going to war over it sheez . It's a method of photography some use it some dont no big deal either way and depends on your genre. All starts with influencers then off it goes. Have a top sunday all. Oh PS I use it. Oh double PS got my rodeo photography accreditation last week what a saga to get the ticket. yeeehaw 🐂🐎

What’s the deal with the waiting list to access the Canon website? I mean seriously? When was the last time you had to wait in a queue to access a website? Hey Canon, 1996 called, and they want their dial up modem back.

My FD 800mm lens minimum focusing distance is about 552 inches. I thought...but what if the subject was closer? So... I added 29mm (11mm + 18mm) extension tubes to the setup and measured the new minimum focusing distance (about 338 inches): As you can see by the photo it is much, much closer than 552" away. So now I can capture epic shots like there where previously I would have had to open the front door and walked back into the living room. I'm thinking a few more extension...

...manual focus on spider web ...pretty good, I think!

I use the C1, C2 and C3 on my R5 MKii for different scenarios. My question is this: If i customise a button does that carry across to C1,2 and 3 or do i need to set up specifically for each one? So example, if i switch to manual mode and customise a button, does that button remain customised if i then switch to C1, 2 or 3? Thanks in Advance.

I didn't frequent Canon Rumors forum very often, but I did enjoy interacting about certain rumors being discussed. I was disheartened to find that, since July, they have shut down their discussion forum with scant explanation as to why. Call me old fashioned, but I find that a poor way to treat members who have supported a site for years. I also find that you can't comment on their posts in Facebook either. Sad. Oh, and they said that in the month of September they are deleting all the...

After several months of waiting, I finally got my hands on one; the mythical Canon RF II Lens Dust Cap. First thoughts: - The plastic feels softer than the original cap. I hope it won't flake easily as that would cause plastic particles to get caught in my lenses. - While it goes on easier than the original cap, it's still not as easy as with the old EF caps. - It is not black, but more like a very dark grey. For now it seems like an improvement over the original cap.

Here are a couple photos from my trip where I limited myself to vintage Manual Lenses on my R5. The first is with the FD 800mm f/5.6 SSC 1/1000 sec, f/8 and ISO 125. I discovered how difficult it is to photograph birds in flight... focusing under harsh lighting was almost impossible. "10 Pelicans and 1 Western Gull" This photo was with a FD 28mm f/2.8 shot at f/8 - 1/200 - ISO 320 "Dead or Alive?"

I have the RF 24-70 f/2.8 USM L lens so a 28mm prime would not add to my current photography capabilities. That lens on my R6 is a significant piece of equipment. I am curious if I might carry my R6 more often and capture more images if I added the RF 28mm f/2.8 STM to my kit. I really don't need another piece of gear, but I need to take more photos. Anyone find adding the RF 28mm helped them do that?

I am heading to the Oregon Coast today for 5 days and I thought I would limit my camera lenses to Non-L series glass... and I have no idea what the weather is going to be like. Cameras: R5, FTb Lenses: RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro, FD 28mm f/2.8, FD 50mm f/1.4, FD 800mm f/5.6 Tripod: 3-Legged Thing with Ball Head, and and Fotopro gimbal. I cannot remember the last time I packed so light. I have absolutely no expectations or ideas of what's ahead.

I decided it was more interesting to try out all suggestions rather than just one. These are posted in Order of Request. First is @Bryan Conner who insisted on Pink. This was much harder to accomplish as we don't have Pink in our garden... but our neighbor does. This required no wind, our neighbor not having his car in his driveway, and a 10 + 3 Stop ND filter. Landscape Photography The second request came from @SwampGrizz who chose "Brick". I lucked out with this as our home has brink...

Using Firmware ver. 2.2.1 I cannot set the camera to ISO 64,000. ISO speed settings increments is set to 1/3. L= 50 and H= 102,400 When I scroll through ISO settings it's: 12800 16000 20000 25600 32000 40000 51200 H (102400) It is showing the 1/3 increments until 51200 and H. Yes, there is the same space but nothing to select.

My R5 has fallen off my tripod a few times before and landing on the ground without an issue. Apparently, brick isn't as forgiving. Well out of warranty and no Canon Care. Preliminary report: It appears the only damage is to the viewfinder. It does brush up against the screen when it gets flipped out. 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens is okay.

We all know that by adding or subtracting light a photograph can be take using any combination of Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO using any lens, so… My lineup of RF lenses: RF 15-35mm f/2.8 RF 24mm f/1.8 MACRO RF 24-70mm f/2.8 RF 70-200mm f/2.8 RF 100mm f/2.8 MACRO RF 100-500mm f/4.5 -7.1 Your job is to pick a lens, and then using any of the settings available with the lens, pick any aperture, ISO, shutter speed, and focal length combination. Using this information I will attempt to...
