I thought going from an R6II to the R6III might let me shoot less often with my 1.4. I gave it a good shot but at times I just to push a but too much for my wildlife shots. In another one of his videos he states he uses a TC 80% of the time. Sorry about the ads. He does have a lot of very good free videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtcWOgqvnN8&t=10s

Thank you

Apart from Nina Bailey (ebook) and John Greengo (video class), what other good options are available? I am not talking about the ones being sold at Amazon or Apple Books, those are not good or too basic, thank you

Imagine trying to photograph a falcon in flight. That preys of dragonflies in flight. And both together. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgyer526rdo

I would like to share a three-part series I've published in the last three weeks. They are my reflections, but I thought some of the ideas might interest other members as well. I am sharing them for whatever they are worth. Feel free to share your comments on the articles on the site or here. There are photographs more than 50 years old among the ones I shared. http://www.keptlight.com/reflections-on-seeing/ https://www.keptlight.com/reflections-on-seeing-2/...

Hi all i want to set up a button on my R5 Mkii to switch to single point focus with eye detect off. Can i do this on one button? If i need to set up two buttons one to switch eye detect on/off and one to go straight to single point focus, how would i do that?

So the new versions of LrC feature Edge and Feather controls to fine-tune selections. Sounds great, but where are those controls? I decided today to find them. I was successful, but it required several Web searches followed by about 20 minutes in ChatGPT. After creating a mask, select its icon in the mask window at the top-right corner. Look for Feather and Edge sliders below the histogram on the right-hand side. This doesn't always work, because it depends on mysterious factors having to...

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.

Canon increased its market share https://petapixel.com/2026/08/20/canon-has-increased-its-massive-digital-camera-market-share-lead/

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?
